Racer Steve scheduled an extra autocross this season to make up for the one that got rained out.
Autocross is scheduled for Sunday, 3 November at the Family Arena in St. Charles, as usual. Get there between 9 and 10 (erring closer to 9 preferably) to register your car. Email sshab at yahoo dot com for more info and to RSVP.

Update from Steve:
All,
We are way short of break even at this point for the November 3rd BSCC Autocross. Please let me know ASAP if you can commit to run the Autocross. No need to respond if you have already done so.
Thanks, Steve

Had an good showing from GWS members this past weekend. Definitely a chill autox environment compared to some of the other autox as I am told. Allese and I are thinking of running. Nothing solid as of yet though. Even if we don't run we will probably be there to get some more pics and gopro stuff.

Just signed up and looking forward to it! Any chance I could talk someone into riding with me, or letting me ride with them before I drive? I have never done anything like this & am thinking a couple pointers could go a long way before I make a fool of myself :-)

I have never done anything like this & am thinking a couple pointers could go a long way before I make a fool of myself :-) You will be fine! My girlfriend drove my RS in the last one. She had only driven the car two previous times and both of which were on the highway. She got it so I am sure that you won't have a problem especially if its something you drive every day.

I have never done anything like this & am thinking a couple pointers could go a long way before I make a fool of myself :-) I'm with ryanr, you'll be fine. I just started this year. But pretty much anyone there will ride with you or let you ride with them. At least, I will, and velostard will. BSCC also has a guy, Rick Wingerter, that will drive your car (if you want) and show you the line he takes and what your car is capable of. And then he'll ride with you and point things out about the course, and about how your car handles. Very, very valuable, I wish I'd done it sooner. I also recommend looking up a couple of videos on youtube of autocross runs - know that it will be significantly less confusing than it looks on video, depth perception helps a ton. But that will help so that you know what it will look like.

Anyone know if this event is still on? I e-mailed Steve and hadn't heard anything back just yet.

Not sure, I haven't heard anything since 15 Oct. Been preoccupied with Perryville. If he replies to you, do you mind posting it here?
