Autocross at Rockford Speedway

tgentry · 06-02-2003, 08:56 AM

I'm planning to attend the Madison Sports Car Club's autocross, June 15 at Rockford Speedway.

For anyone interested in autocrossing this is a fun, helpful group that I highly recommend to beginners or anyone that wants to have fun while autocrossing.

====================

whoops....

I got this one too late ----

today would've been a perfect day to go!!!!

we were finally free .... and the '99 is finally finished......

our Company has been busier than ever, so we haven't had time .....

hey, how come your not at the "Experience".....

I just couldn't swing the "Experience" this year. I'm there in spirit though!

You missed a great day! There was '03 Cobra entered (hopefully he'll join the club

). He was a rookie, but he showed steady improvement throughout the day. I think a new car with 390+hp is a bit intimidating for anyone.

I won my class, A-Modified, again. This time it was a slam dunk since I was the only one there. I prefer to think that I scared off my competition

Is the Madison Sports Car Club in Madison, Wisconsin? Anyone have a web site or contact?

Yes, they're based in Madison, WI. They're also part of the Midwestern Council of Sports Car Clubs.

Thanks, Tony, but as a certain Mr. Foyt once said, "I'd rather be lucky than good any day!"

same here ---- couldn't swing it -- but hopefully we will make the Iowa event in July -- Tim's company has been extremely busy -- he's even working today !! =(

anyway -- yup - I hear you .... when we first had the supercharger installed in Trigger, going from approximately 300 rwhp (modified --) to 440 rwhp I was a bit intimidated myself... it scared me at first and I wondered what the heck I had done to my "baby".....

but -- not anymore!! I'd do it again in a second.....
this is the fastest and the best car I have ever owned.... I love it!!

and congrats on your win --
yup - you scared me off..... I couldn't compete against you Tom..... your way over my league..... but I'll get there someday, right?
