Could some one explain real quick exactly what autocross is I have heard many different things.

 

Check my sig.

 

who puts these things on and organizes them

 

clubs. SCCA is the big one. NASA does some autocrosses too, i think. Plus local and national car-specific clubs (like BMW, Z-car, etc) put on autocrosses too.

 

here is a web site and then you can link off it

www.scca.org

 

oh ya and its aka solo2, cause all that other stuff is more expensive

 

As long as you have insurance, safety personnel, a good parking lot, and great organizers anyone can put on an autocross or Solo2.

 

do you ever win

 

CivicSiRacer does. My best finish was 2nd place in H-stock (my car is a '92 civic vx), and a couple 3rds. In STS, my car isn't very well prepared (i.e. no swaybars yet, mostly stock bushings, no camber adjustment, only 90hp ) and I've managed a 6th place out of about 20-23 cars, so thats not too bad.

 

I won the street tire class at last sunday's autocross for the ODR SCCA club. 88 Civic DX, slipping clutch, stock everything except tires, 253k miles.
