2010 AMEC Autox Schedule

[Zeeeek]

I did not attend their inaugural event last November (autox, November? Yup, my thinking too), but apparently they have the rights to the newly repaved / renamed Albany-Saratoga Speeday, and will be running a full season this year (not enough ice to play on?) There are probably people here who ran last Nov. who could chime in on the site conditions and ability of their course designer.

For more details, check out the thread on MoHud's forums, or the thread on AMEC's own site.

Our first event is Saturday May 8th 2010 this should be a great way to start the season off with AMEC. There is a full day of activities being held at the speedway. AMEC will hold our autocross during the day and at the same time there will be a car and truck show put on by Firebird Nation of North America to benefit Saratoga Bridges then at 6PM there will be a drifting show. This should be a great day so bring the family!

The rest of the summer autocross dates are below please put them on your calendars!

Autocross #2 is Sunday June 13th

Autocross #3 is Saturday July 10th

Autocross #4 is Sunday August 15th

Autocross #5 is Saturday September 25th

Autocross #6 is Saturday October 16th

I am planning on attending, as I would love some better pavement in our area. As long as they know how to design a course, this year should be  for the autocrossers. For directions or the location to aforementioned Albany-Saratoga Speedway, use Google.

I attended last year and had a great time. This is me on the track last year.

They paved and added some width to the course the week after the event. I also believe they may have banked the two turns. Last year they had quite a bit of speed on the course. It was the fastest I have gone in an autocross. Only downside is the wall that is so close to the track on one side. "flirting" with danger a bit more in my eyes. Perhaps with the extra width this year there will be some more turning and increased distance from the wall.

WOW. I might attend one of these if  the timing is right

So there is an event tomorrow that I will be driving in and there are still openings for walk ins. There is also an autoshow so spectators pay $5. It was great last year. I am excited for this one.

Got a car to do tommorro.. no dice for me.. I had a whole 18 hrs in this week  . God It better pick up soon, or I better find another job soon. I already used 1/2 of my savings this month..   I only have 1 month left. This is getting scary! No vaca left either..

I'm surprised they can fit anything on that course.  Definitely not a fan of anything involving turning left.  Could give a damn if they stick a slalom in it to try to break it up.

Pavement looked very grippy today.  Not so good for the drift guys but probably pretty good for the autocrossers.

Apparently they are paving the infield shortly, so it should make it much more exciting.

It was pretty wet in the morning, plenty of opportunity for oversteer for those with the testicular fortitude. All in all – it's another local opportunity to autocross, and the event is run safely enough so that if you damage your car, it's your own fault for overdriving. I left plenty of time out there, to ensure I didn't loose it with no runoff. I'm happy.

I couldnt come out. When I woke up i saw al that rain and said no way. I just stayed home and put in a good day of work. Ill be at the next one that doesnt conflict with mohud
