Default First Auto-X of the season UPDATE!!

It's the 28th Let's get some TEAM Ascension out there. I have a friend with a Subie that would like to join up!!

30 bucksSunday the 28th WWSCC UWFSAE Slush #1 Everett West


http://www.wwscc.org/ click on schedule for the rest of the year and photos if you dobn't know what it is

I you have a legal helmet bring it if not they have some to borrow.
Directions
There are two autocross sites in Everett. Both are located near the 747/767 assembly building. The first is in lots W-4 and W-5 on the west side of the building:



To lots W-4 and W-5 (Everett West) from I-5 (north or south):
Take the Mukilteo exit (highway 526) west towards Mukilteo. Take the "Boeing Receiving Only" exit, the autocross site is on your left (lots W-4 and W-5). Speed limit is slow, so please be careful!

The second site is located in lot E-3 on the east side of the 747/767 assembly building:



To lot E-3 (Everett East) from I-5 (north or south):
Take the Mukilteo exit (highway 526) west towards Mukilteo. Take the Seaway Blvd. exit and head north. Take the first exit on your right towards "Employee Parking". This exit will loop around under Seaway Blvd. At the first light turn left into the site (lot E-3). Speed limit is slow, so please be careful!

Please note, due to needs of The Boeing Company it is possible that an event may need to be switched from the West lot to the East or vice-versa. Please re-check the event info page 2-3 days before the event to confirm the site.

Important! Alcohol is not allowed on Boeing property!

They usually make you take hubcaps/centercaps off, and like said above anything that might fall off the car (like what I don't know). I am soo there. If need be I live like a mile away and have 2 couches and pletny of blankets!

autocrossing is a hoot to do. very controled and very easy for beginners. Its a great wayt to get into autosport. Be prepared though, its a lot of hurry up and wait and its very very infectious. once you do it all you want to do is go faster and be better!

This is something I figured I wouldn't do... didn't sound fun and as with most things, to far from me. But Mukilteo? Hell, if anything, I'll come and watch!

So... is this something you all are going to do in your Scions (xBs specifically?).

I'll take my xB if you take yours

I don't know what's involved in autocross but as long as there isn't a huge ability to crash into others or flip my box, I have no problem taking it out to see it do 0-60 in 5 minutes

Sounds good. But I'll have some of my boys with me, surely. I'll need some of you all to sit on them if I go out there and, um, autocross.

Yeah, there is mainly just cones. There is a guard rail..or two, its basically a big parking lot/holding area for workers/planes (if they are still doing it the same place they did 2 years ago).
