I'm going to run as a novice in the AM novice class so it's a 7:30 arrival time if you want to run with me.
This was SO MUCH FUN running in Packwood yesterday that I encourage everyone to come and at least try it. If you don't know what autocross is, here's a few things about it:
The first few times you run at a site you can run as a novice. This means that you don't have to worry about what class your car is in. You'll be running against other inexperienced people regardless of their car.
Autocross speeds don't generally exceed highway speeds, at least not by much. They're tight technical courses where precision and smoothness is the key, not high horsepower or car mods. It is possible to be competitive in a bone stock economy car.
You can't (easily) crash into anything and break your car. You race alone through a course of cones set up in a parking lot. If you go wide in a corner you will hit a traffic cone or two and that's it. So you don't have to worry about crashing into another car or a tire wall or anything.
If you're interested at all come on out. It's a blast!
