| autocross 6/25 at CLC - college of lake county
autocross the 25th (sunday) at CLC - $30 to run! $25 if you have a miata. windy city miata club and a clc car club have gotten the large lot (lot 5) secured for an autocross. they are hoping to have a decent student turnout to make the school happy  so let anyone that's a student know! need to be there to register by 9am. i like this venue because i normally drive 45 minutes to autocross, this one will only be 45 seconds!  |

I raced another 2g turbo DSM yesterday(yes, I killed it)and I nutted it at 4 grand in 2nd and didn't even chirp. Who knew.

| it's actually the miata club's autocross - so only miatas get classed. everything else is lumped into not a miata.
your 5000lb lt1 and my roomate's 1969 ford galaxy can go at it in the fatty class. nah i don't think he will actually drive that thing over there. it would be scary to watch even. | |
