Welcome to the thread. I have plans this weekend but you guys have fun. Take some pictures!

Do you know when the next Auto-x in Charleston is? I keep meaning to see if I can find some information on it.

Glad you got it fixed. Hopefully mine stays fooled. So far so good.

Cars and Coffee is every Saturday so I'd be down for the 20th. I'll just have to try to remember.

DirtyMike - Welcome!! I used to make the drive from Charleston to Myrtle a bunch(like 2-3 times a week). It's a straight shot down 17 or if you wanted a more interesting ride you could do 17-A from Summerville through Moncks Corner and all the back roads. What day are you planning on leaving? Are you staying just for a day or plan on making it a weekend trip? I might be able to go early Saturday Morning and come back that evening
Yeah, Those parking pads are definitely nice. I jog around the parameter of the neighborhood several times a week so it takes me right by her house. I will stop and say hello if I see you out there.

Ok, so Cars and Coffee for the 20th it is! Anyone else interested?

I live in West Ashley, so I would just shoot down 17 and across the Ravenel because I love that bridge lol. What about yourself?

https://scsportscar.com/ is our SCCA Regional Page.
It looks like the next one at the North Charleston Coliseum is June 11th. I will definitely be at that one given its a 10 minute drive from my place. The one this weekend and May 28th are in Myrtle.

Of course, I think that's the weekend I'm headed to Atlanta. I will have to check. If not, I will be there as well. Thanks for posting!

I live over by the Airport so I'd jump on 526 to 17. If I end up going maybe we could meet at the Dunkin Donuts/Gas Station near the End of 526. It's just down from Mt. Pleasant Chevy

Count me in. Sending you a PM now... If anyone else decides to go I'll be at the Dunkin Donuts/Gas Station around 530am tomorrow. Guess I better wash the S tonight since I've been riding near construction zones picking up mud


Dunkin address is 1683 N Hwy 17, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464

It was a really good time! There were 109 cars total, and 7 or 8 S2ks. I ran BS along with 2 other s2ks, an Evo and an STi. This was my first AutoX in over 2 years, so I was rusty, but still only 4 seconds off the formula ford that was running (and set the best raw time). Lots of very fast cars out there.

Now that the Honda isn't my DD I have fully caught the AutoX bug. I'm actually going to autoX at Roebling this weekend too if anyone wants to join for that one!

I got caught up walking around chatting with people about their cars and watching the cars run that I forgot to take any pictures.... my bad!

Glad to hear that you had such a good time. It's been years since I have done an autocross as well. I will definitely catch one with you hopefully here in the near future. Good luck at Roebling!
