The first AutoX event of the 2010 'RTR AutoX+ Roadshow' will be with Blue Mountain region (ie Reading) SCCA at Maple Grove drag strip in ~3 weeks time on Sunday 25th April. The event is part of a weekend event with drift camp and car show – looks amazing! See their poster below
Here’s their description of their event: AutoX by Blue Mountain Region SCCA. We sold out of driver positions last year. We will sell out this year. First 100 that sign up for the car show get a 1 year subscription to Performance Auto and Sounds Magazine. Everyone that attends gets a chance to win a Garrett Gated and Water Cooled GT35 R Turbo. One will be given away each day! So sign up today.
Any driver, or show participant is allowed to have one co-driver or pit member at no cost.
The Auto cross will be at 2 or 3 heats and drivers will also be expected to be corner worker when they are not driving.

Camiel' service plaza on the Turnpike - 8 miles west of Downingtown exit (312) at 7.15am and leave at 7.30am (available Westbound Only). As Steve will be on vacation in the UK, this event will be led by Ian Curtis and Veeeeeeeee.
Price – $45 early registration / $55 late registration

Any buddy in for the drift day?

I've got some corded Goodyear runflats if anyone wants to drift with them!

Sorry I can't make this one.............. I'll be in Orlando watching my son-in-law break the world record in the 4 cylinder 1/8th mile in a 4 cylinder horizontally opposed 3.3L motor that is built from a one piece alluminum billet and cut on a CNC machine. I'll keep you posted.

I'm in. I won't be meeting the caravan, that would more than double my drive time. This is a good one to make, if Steve is out everyone else's points will go up. Thanks, Steve!

I'm in as well,..
Still waiting for my rear main seal to arrive, but should have my engine back in the car by then, if not I may have to run with my sluggish volvo,... just for the fun of it
I will not caravan with the rest of you, since I live south of Morgantown, which is right down the road from the Race Track.
See you all there.

Can't wait to get the AX season started, I'm all signed up for Maple Grove SCCA AX event.
I'll be at the Turnpike service area bright and early, with a coffee in my hand and my Silver 1989 Carrera Ready for a day of AX competition.

Latest update from the Maple Grove AX organizers 4/20/10
Hello Everyone.
Saturday will be here in a few days! We are all excited to provide a fun day of racing, motorcycle stunts, import swamp meets and more. The weather forecast says no rain on saturday and it may rain sunday. No worries for you Auto X'r many of us have driven in the rain. But we will make a decision to have a rain date for Auto X only if needed. All pre-paid funds are completely transfered over to the next event. We do still have spots for AutoX and Drifting. We are having lots of media coverage. www.GreaterReadingAutoExpo.com Expect good things. Driver spots may still sell out so if you or a friend wants to have a guaranteed spot. Register today. Registration closes on the 22nd so we can prepare classes, worker lists, and schedules.
One more update will follow.
I look forward to seeing you all soon.
