the school is ADSI (http://1adsi.com/)

the last event had 18 cars, I probably got 20 runs in total (lost count) and I could've done more

it was timed and they will be posted at some point (they're working on a new website/forum)


we paid $125 for the day (6 hours)...the goal is to get enough cars that the owner of the school will lower the pricing. We are in close contact with him. Normally this is just a driving school, if you look at the site you can see what they offer. The normal "performance driving" classes are $250 and include 2 hours of classroom work and 5 hours on the track (also, lunch is included). We ditched the class work and set it up like an autox, and he let us run for 1/2 price (there were ADSI workers there, timing and picking up cones for us).

If we can get enough interest and get the name out there, the plan is to run more events (with our involvement as far as timing, keeping track of everyone, ect), new timing equipment (wireless system), also new website/forum to keep track of drivers/stats/ect

My friends and I have been involved with different autox groups and are just tired of driving way out to CT, or western MA all the time and I'm sure people will be interested in coming out to us for a mile + course...my fastest time of the day (which was the overall FTD) was 1:51.1 which is a loong track, most clubs are lucky to get 40 second runs. FCSCC's old lot was one of the biggest around and they were averaging 60-70 second runs, with the new lot they're around the 40 second mark.

Not to mention you usually don't see over 40mph on an autox track...I was stretching 3rd gear in my 350z
