UncleMat, I didn't see you in the accepted list and I don't see you on the list for (currently ongoing) registration for May AutoX. Bunch of WRX/STI people though. My rocket wagon has problems unfortunatelly Could bring the other wagon.... but stock power is slow. Besides what fun it is to slide around in leather seats in autox.

snow05gtRI Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Anyone go to this past weekend? When I was getting my summer tires put on at the Hogan Tire near my house last week, someone with a very modified Mini came in and I got to talking and they mentioned they were doing AutoX this past weekend at Devens...said they've seen people show up with a B-spec (heh) Legacy before and was asking me questions about them. I might actually give AutoX a shot this year, just 1 day to see how it is. Looks like a lot of fun... and I never thought about the sliding in leather seats thing...that is very true.

SubOperator Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I was there and had a great time. Leather seats are not a problem if you let the seat go down first, buckle up and then raise the seat. The Direzzas (tnx Unclemat for suggestion) did an AMAZING job holding the car, thus revealing the much needed suspension mod. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masshole Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 So tempting. Would be a great way to burn off whats left of the RE92's. "No, really honey, I need new tires, these ones went inexplicably bald!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubOperator Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 9/20 it is for me. And you can't burn the RE92 fast enough anyway. I ended up throwing them away when I got the Direzzas. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmononana Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Any LGT's going to any of these coming up? I live pretty close to Ft. Devens and would love to come by for one of these...I'm not a great driver but I'd love to see what the LGT can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandman Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Don't be holding your breath waiting for other LGT's. There are always a flock of WRX's/STI's there and they are friendly. In fact everyone is friendly. They will assign an instructor to you if you want, and you can ride along with others to see what they do.

Underdog Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Well... if the car is up and running by Sunday I will definitely come check it out. If not, I might be asking you guys to stop by my house afterward to help me fix whatever I messed up! Actually, my biggest concern is flashing the wastegate boost map to my car after it's all said and done. Hardware stuff I can handle, but software freaks me out.

SubOperator Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I am going again on October 4th. Last event of the season. Last event was a blast. Underdog, the twinscroll is what doctor prescribed for autox... on my stock engine I do feel lack of torque on some elements of the course. Hoping to do something about it before the next season. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmononana Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Sorry if this is a dumb question - but can someone just go and watch? Not sure if I'd like to do the AutoX yet (well, to be honest I don't want to embarass myself, haha) but I'd love to watch and hang out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandman Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Sorry if this is a dumb question - but can someone just go and watch? Not sure if I'd like to do the AutoX yet (well, to be honest I don't want to embarass myself, haha) but I'd love to watch and hang out....There is a novice class! At the last event about 20 of the people registered were novices - nearly half! - , many of them first timers. It's a very casual, low-key event and because there the only classes are experienced w/race tires, experienced with "normal" tires, and Novice, you are for the most part competing against yourself. It's a great way to get to know your car and if it rains - even better! Because they have instructor drivers and you get a lot of runs, this is one of the best starter events you can find. But to answer your question, yes, you can spectate. There will be a guy at the gate to have you sign a release, but then you can park and walk around, and even volunteer to help with timing or out on the course. And if you bring a helmet you can ride along with someone. Directions: From either direction from I-495 take exit 30 (2A/110) and turn toward Ayer (that's to the NW). From either direction, you will make a left turn onto Rt 2A. Follow 2A all the way to the Devens Commerce Center entrance. You will go through a rotary about 5 mi from I-495. Continue on 2A which is the second exit in the rotary (straight across, just past the McDonalds). You will then go about 1 mile and be in the center of downtown Ayer. 2A will take a right turn just past the main business district; there will be a Mobil station on your left at that corner. Travel about 1/2 mile. About 3/10s of a mile after Dunkin Donuts (and just past a power transfer station), take a left onto Bishop Road. After the cemetery (on left) go through the first gate. About 1/2 a mile after this gate, bear right at the 'Y', then turn right at the 4-way intersection, and proceed up the hill, through the gate. This will take you on to the site.

(and do they have loaner helmets...)Yes, they have spots left. Go to http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/event/calendar And pick autox and the date to get details and register. They used to have loaner helmets - I'll check. What size is your noggin? I have my wife's helmet size L and a Shoei size XL. I am so close I will probably hear the cars tearing it up from my house! They've run just about every Saturday and Sunday since April, so if you haven't heard them yet...... Who Dares Wins スバル Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ean611 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 No clue what size I need, might be picking up a helmet soon anyway. The SCCA loaner helmets seemed to fit, whatever they were.

Garandman Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 I don't see any details...who's running at Devons Sunday? Are there spots left?

The SCCA loaner helmets seemed to fit, whatever they were. One thing, does Snell M2005 work? Or do I need SA2005.... M2005 is OK for autocross. Some of the track days/time trials require SA.
