I wish he would. I've asked him to come out to autocross for about a year now and he just laughs at the idea. I'll definitely bring some s2ki members and other car friends with me next time though.

Thanks for all the compliments! It really is a unique experience that I plan on trying again. I have a lot of room for improvement, but I feel like driving on the track actually helped me with my car control in autocross even though they are very different in relation to one another.

Thanks! its extremely fun! Yeah, I've pointed out all my flaws in all of my videos and just keep watching them over and over again thinking about how I could eliminate or avoid most of my mistakes. I know! A lot of s2k's in my area are herrafrush and we don't have enough track goers. I find beauty in track cars that are built with everything to have a purpose and a use.

Do it! All you really need are decent tires, and it helps to upgrade your pads and fluid so you don't have to worry about burning through them or having brake fade issues. And of course, some organizations require an aftermarket roll bar, some don't.

OP, did they not require a roll bar for this event?

No sir they did not. Also don't forget a snell rated helmet that's I think 2010 or newer!
