Question Is there enough Interest in autocross here?

I was wondering if there was enough interest in autocross/Solo 2 to Make a Sticky Thread some where.

Im thinking that it would contain where to go autocrossing (what clubs do it and when).
what you would need to go autocross
what class you would be in
experience while autocrossing (you can allways learn more)
Different setups and how they perform in autocross (What tires, springs, tire pressure, ect.. do you use?)


I dont know, Is it worth it?
How many people are interested in autocross? Do people even know what autocross is?

any way, if a thread was started which forum would be the best place for it?

If any one has seen me blaber away about autocross then you know I love it!!

Autocross:
90% driver
3% Car
7% Crazy Mojo

d00d, I think that's a good idea...but maybe you should have your own forum?

I'd be interested in learning more about autocross, and I'd love to get ideas and suggestions about my setup...

Jeez... I posted a thread trying to get Derek to just open a whole forum for sanctioned racing and no one backed me up.... YES.. Just give us a forum for it. There's too much to discuss for just one thread.

True, I never thought about that, It could be about all forms of Sanctioned racing from 1/4 mile set ups to Club racing. It dosn't have to be exclusivly about autocross if it were its own forum rather then just a Sticky Thread.

I say we start with an autocross sticky thread and see how interested people are. I am definatly interested, basically what is holding me back is cost, and lack of knowledge....if we had a palce to go where I can learn this it would definatly be worth while.

I would be very interested in an Autocross forum, that way I could get a bit more educated thenjust showing up at some track and saying "let me drive..." I've never done it before, and have always wanted too.
