hey thanks a lot norcal, can you also make it that we can choose more than one option?

 

Nope.. I think it's a limitation of VBulletin 3.0.1 h:

But then again, voters can explain their voting via the thread. :happysad:

Keep on rockin`. :thumbup:

 

Hrm... no possibility of a day-trip into eastern PA?

Perhaps the NHRA is your calling?
Or killing cones in the SCCA?

 

ive actually been spending the last hour talking to my college roommate/frat brother about taking on some eastern pa roads. the roads near my girlfriend (limerick, pa) are pretty windy. i've also been considering auto-x. 1/4 has me so bored these days. i NEED to turn!

 

the bernardsville mt. or rt 22 roads near me are nice too, honestly tho you never know what you can do with your car until you autox, nothing like testing the limits of your car in a controlled environment, you dont have to be afraid of oncoming traffic, deer or sliding off the road into a curb, tree or mailbox

 

my only turn off to auto-x is that in the videos i watch it seems like they never get past 50mph...

 

My advice* is:

1) To do a sedate reconnaissance run first. Have very good maps with you, and stick to your route. Try to keep on roads with very few cross streets.

2) Never, ever speed in developed areas. One cross-street is all it takes to ruin cars and end lives. It's totally unjustifiable, and the legal implications can be tragic.

3) If deer are a hazard, then hit up AutoZone and invest in a set of the ultrasonic deer whistles that are mounted on the car. Our CHP swears by them, as do many other law enforcement agencies. I've run them on my last 2 cars. They work very well, when installed correctly.

4) And most importantly, keep your speeds reasonable and keep the car under firm control. The only place to really push the limits is on a closed track.

Talk to DakarM, he runs in the SCCA events out here in the Bay Area.. he'll tell you. There's a thrill to be found in the unerring precison of auto-x. I for one will argue that it hones your defensive driving skills quite thoroughly.

 

no way! when i'm not here at school i'm down in Pottstown (just west of Limerick)

yea the roads there aren't bad, but yesterday i found one AWESOME mountain road up here - so good i'll be going back today to "assault" it. north-central PA is the best for mountain roads.

 

we need another option..
Driving Feel / Fun Factor

or something like that..
