    I'd like to register for the April courses but will depend on if I have the forester up and running by then, if not then the June for sure. When does pre-registration end for the April course? Thanks!

    Emily wants to do the April event too so you should get that forester up and running. It usually fills up before registration closes so don't wait til April 25th.

    Lots of seat time and great instruction...I highly recommend attending if you are serious about getting into autox or competitive driving.

    We don't actually close registration until about a few days before the event, but for the first novice school it hasn't been a thing we worry about because they generally fill up WAAY before that point. There are already 30 cars registered.
    Oh just shut up and do it. There's no better, safer method to learn about driving faster.
    I've heard you talk about trying to be a better driver, so do it.
    You'll make lots of friends with the instructors :)
    The BRZ is easily one of the most fun autocross cars to come out in the last 5-6 years, and everyone autocrossing chomps at the bit to get to try one. There are a few circulating in the club now with some decent modifications too.

    So come burn off those ****ty prius tires in style.

    Eh, k. The hesitation is around having my suspension sorted. I can probably have it done by then. You're bang-on about me wanting formal instruction.


    I'm most likely in. I'll check schedule availability this weekend and get registered if it's going to work for me.
