Long course auto-x @ Devens

Maybe for the first run, you can't learn anything other than where you are going on the course with the VDC on.

For the first run it will be just fine as you will be mostly focused on staying on course rather than trying to go fast. Turn the VDC off as soon as you feel comfortable or start to feel it intervene more than you think it should (like run #2). Tomorrow is SCCA if I'm not mistaken. Too bad you didn't sign up for ours instead, you would have got a lot more seat time to learn.

Thanks. What do you mean "ours"? More info for the future please? Going tomorrow to this SCCA event because a bunch of people from the UMass Motorsport club are going. We're leaving in a big convoy which sounds like a good time to me regardless

With friends there you will have fun regardless, but the SCCA events are a little too formal.

If you look on motorsportreg.com you will see 3 clubs that I run with. Those are NE-SVT, TCUSA (Track Club USA) and BSCC (Bay State Corvette).

These 3 clubs are for the most part run by the same people just attract slightly different cars aside from the core group. They are all very novice friendly and have plenty of instructors on hand. The car count is kept low in order to keep the number of runs high. They also typically run a longer course than SCCA.

Here's today's video:

This looks like a lot more fun than the course I had at the SCCA event. I was just confused for a lot of runs and never got out of second gear.

What is the maintenance like for someone driving so many auto crosses as you with your 370Z? I'm even afraid to do this a second time..
