Ever since I got my license, and even before, I love driving. Im almost 18 now and I've realized that driving fast on the street is stupid and it really limits you (laws, pedestrians, curbs, etc) so I am really interested in attending some Auto-X events, and maybe later on some track days.

I'm located in Stamford, CT (southeast ct-"suburb" of ny) so I want to join a club that holds its events not too far away. The closest one I know of is NY BMWCCA Chapter, which holds AutoX days at the Nassau Collesium (1 hour away). Are there any other groups that hold events within the same distance?

This brings me to another question, does AutoX really take a toll on your car? I have a 2000 E46 328i with 115k miles on it. It runs fine, but what parts should I worry about breaking? Will driving an hour, then running my car in the events really f*** things up?

thanks :redspot

Ive never been to an auto-x event but if your from the area i'd deffinitly keep an eye on this section for upcoming events.

Im sure these events shouldn't take a toll on your car as long as everything is in good condition and you've kept up with all your maintenance over the years.
