I didn't register, but I plan on doing my 1st auto-x this spring/summer. I plan on going down there to view how it runs. I read you are required a certain spec helm to do it, but I don't have the funds to buy a helmet, do they rent out helms at these events?

Edit: I thought today was Saturday...I meant for Sunday 4/5/09

According to these, it's on Sunday the 5th. http://nybmwcca.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=2814,and this,http://nybmwcca.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=2834

it's test and tune. not sure if the fee is the same. weather's nice on sunday i'm sure there will be lots of participants

I went out there to just watch it, looked pretty cool. Talked to a few people who educated me a little bit how auto-x works. I'm def going to show up to the next event and give it a go.

I go to almost all of these events.. they're a great time. Only reason I wasn't there today was because my car is still in the body shop. I plan at being at all the rest though! :D

Cool, maybe i'll see you there at the next event. They told me they do run non BMW CCA auto-x events there so i may try and do one of those before May 23rd.

How much does it cost to rent a helmet at one of the events? If you do know...? And um, how do I know what size helmet I should buy?

I looked on eBay, when I type in Snell only motorcycle helmets come up.

snell M for motorcycle is accepted as long as its like a 2005 rating you will be golden large is a good size i had medium but its too tight i dont wear hats so i cant tell you the size...

its like having a supermodel without having sex with her yet.... you wont look much rather than bang her ...


so that means go and race dont be a pussy the earlier you learn the better

Hey man, i'd love to get into racing, but I think i need coils, the only suspension work I have now is sway bars and springs. I would also like to get some 17x8 or 17x8.5 rims.

Butttt i'm still unemployed and can't do anything. I just paid my insurance on my car for the next 6mo and I really really need to get a cash paying job asap.

For now Auto-x is my only budget when it comes to any sort of *racing*

its not a problem with not having anything done to your car

when i 1st took my m3 out it was pretty stock

hell, i took my stock shitty 09 honda fit to the track not autox but track... i had a blast... you live once and its only like 40$ for the day ... gas is relatively cheap ... bring some food and drinks from home and you are golden

where can you go on a track for 40 bucks? I thought track days cost somewhere between 2-300 bucks
