To everyone that wants to explore the limits of their Mini, or just find out how exceptional the handling of your Mini is there is an Autocross event September 21. The event will be run by ER/SCCA and is held at Hialeah Park in Hialeah (West Dade).

For those that have never Autocrossed before it is one of the best ways to find out what your car, and you as a driver are capable of.

The courses are set up using orange traffic cones, so the chances of damaging you car are very low. The courses are usually pretty tight so speeds are keep low, but car control skills are very important. Autocross events are more about car control than speed so the emphasis is on the driver.

So if you are the kind of person that see every corner as a chance to have fun, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

The schedule of events is:

Registration: 8:00 to 9:30am
Tech: 8:30 to 9:45am
Drivers Meeting: 9:45am
Timed Run Start: 10:00am
The remainder depends on the number of entrees.

Here is a link to the clubs web page http://autox.carlc.com/ , just go to the calender for event dates. There are also some helpful links to info on car classes, and how to get started in autocross, etc...

Hope to see you there!

Is this where the Mazda Rev-it -up was at????

 

Hello, Jim

No this is not where the Rev-it-Up was held. That was at GulfStream Park.

Hialeah Park is in west dade county. If you go to the ER web site there is a link to the event flyer, which has a map and directions.

Hope to see you there.
