Autocross

Coming up, May 20th is our first Autocross of this year’s driving season. We will be joining our friends with theWindy City Miata Club at Boomers Stadium in Schaumberg. Remember to register two weeks before (May 6th) at www.motorsportreg.com . Cost is $37.00 for a full day of fun. If you have questions about what you may need to attend, to please contact Dean, Tim or myself.

We have planned five autocross events this year. Four with the WCMC and one with our friends with the Austin Healey Club. ALL of these are held in parking lots and are low speed autocrosses LSAX (Less than 30 mph).

I sure hope we get several of you to come out and join the fun. If we have 5 or more MGs they will place us in our own class. Actually, the Miata folks have been very nice to us about this and often put us in our own class, even if we don’t have five cars. This means we only compete against other MGs. Generally we tend to be a bit slower than the Miata’s. I sure hope one day to change that! But that will take more skill than I currently have.

I’ll see you there… Jim Compton
