So my 19 year old son and I will be trekking down to Marina on Sunday and I am nervous (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) because:
1. I have never driven in an AX 2. Neither has my son and he has barely driven a stick 3. I do not have a helmet 4. My accelerator pedal sticks at WOT sometimes 5. I am sure that we will be the slowest car in the field So as I am cleaning up and tuning the car Saturday, I will take the kid out for several runs around town and let him grind off a few more teeth on my tranny, check my battery hold down, and maybe buy a helmet. Is there a prize for worst time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) of the day? |

I was going to say EXACTLY what Dave said (Have fun) My first AutoX SUCKED. I showed up to an SCCA event with 4 National winners in Texas. I was 16. NOBODY there was under age 30 it seemed. I had NO idea what to do or where to go when. I ran the car and stood around trying to figure out as much as I could. The next event I attended was a PCA event.. again.. by myself NO help. Lucky for you we have a KICKASS group of people that will make damn sure you have fun and enjoy yourself. If you have a competive bone in your body this will be a BLAST. After my first two events I vowed to help any new people that I came into contact with at ANY event. I knew other people would be turned off by the whole situation if no one was there to do a little hand holding.
Relax. You will do fine. B |
