When autocross goes bad

[Phokaioglaukos]

AX and DE are both loads of fun. With the changes in street auto policies, though, neither is covered. My DE insurance does not cover AX either. A well-designed course at a good venue is really safe from all but the craziest participants. I'd do AX again but for the time on track/time to get to/from track ratio. Philly SCCA runs a summer series where every participant can make his runs and fulfill his work assignment in either the morning or the afternoon. A half-day is not a big time commitment. The problem for me in Phila is that the venues are so far from my house. That adds hours of boring driving to the event. That's why I prefer 3-day DEs and am trying a number of advanced, open track events this year--notably cups and saucers at the Glen where I have signed up for a pro to coach me (I also hope to get some of the (many) more experienced drivers to coach me too).
