Capital Driving Club
 

I'll be up front I am an organizer with the club, but that also means if have questions I will try to answer them.
I'm going to use this thread to update the dates and keep you guys aware.

Our next event is tomorrow (7/31/10) in Woodbridge VA. The lot is a somewhat new surface so there is a lot of traction we currently have 1 z33 and 1 z34 registered. Come out and join us. To submit a registration just go to Capital Driving Club , then click on schedule and register for the event. It's 35 for non members, and 30 dollars to become a member if you wish then the event costs 25 dollars. If you plan on attending more then 3 events it becomes worth it.

This is pretty cool. I'm glad you posted the link. I'm not much into AutoX myself, but I'm sure other locals are.

You should give it a shot when we are at bowie. Have you auto crossed before with other clubs?

No. I never have. And I would probably try that out before doing a track day, because there's more room for error.

Then you really need to come out to the bowie or frederick event. First so I can see a blackcherry in person, and second so you can try it. I ran my brothers 350 a few years ago and that was a blast and a half. Not to hard to learn and a place where you can let things be a little more crazy then on the road.

Hey sorry to hijack your thread, but im new here in the DC/MD area, and I was wondering, is there a spot around here where people with tuners/ or hooked up rides meet up everyweek? Could you PM me, or post up here if you have any info on that? I'd greatly appreicate it.

I have no Idea I haven't been into that scene since the early 2000's

Our next event is coming up this weekend (8/7/10) At james wood high school in winchester VA. This lot is worth the drive. It's a large lot that affords long runs or many runs depending on the course layout. It also has a huge crest that enable us to make some very technical tracks.

Back to james wood on 8/21/10

Were heading to bowie this weekend, 8/21.

Bump....Looks like it will be a largish turnout.

You are going to get another event to gain points on me:mad:

This was part of the agreement between me and my wife to be at the NASA event all last weekend. I must say it was well worth it...:D

^win for me....this will be my last weekend on street tires. Moving up to R-comps. You will probably out index me after the change.

Picked up 90 more on you.....:happydance:. I am not a fan of Bowie.....that lot has no grip. Are you going to be in Frederick on the 11th?

SATurday September 11th Autocross

CDC is back to Harry Grove Stadium, Frederick, MD on SATURDAY September 11th. We will also have a Test and Tune SUNDAY September 12th.

Registration and tech inspection will be at 8:00 and will promptly close at 8:45 to try to accommodate the full field, while still giving 6 runs. You must be DONE by 8:45. So if you arrive at 8:00 you won't have a problem. Don't arrive at the last minute.

The event fee for the Saturday autocross is $25 for members and $35 for non-members at this event.

SUNday September 12th Test and Tune Day

These Sunday Test and Tune Events will be held the day after the Saturday Harry Grove Stadium Autocrosses in Frederick , MD. The Test and Tune event will be an informal autocross using the same/similar course as the day before. The differences are the following:

Field is limited to 40 participants with about 5 organizers (for a total of 45 vehicles).
Times will be announced and recorded on the timesheet, but no results, no points, and no indexes will be posted –This is only for fun
No extra runs if we miss a time – This is only for fun
The format will be 2 heats with 5 morning and afternoon runs (number of runs in the afternoon will depend on time and weather conditions. We hope to give 9 to 11 runs).
No food or drinks will be provided – We need to keep the amount of equipment to a minimum. So plan on either bringing drinks and food or going out to lunch.
Event is open to members and their guests only, since the event is so limited in size.
The entry fee is $35 per member, $40 for non-members.

All 40 slots will be given on a first come, first serve basis.

Tomorrow!
