Autocross.

The local group is called the Snake River Region of the SCCA.
snakeriverscca.org - Home

We autocross at the fairgrounds and the Idaho Center.

how much does it cost to come watch?

From looking around the website it looks like the action should start around 10am?

I've never went and watched autocross but its always been something i've wanted to learn more about

[slaughtr]

Watching is free and encouraged. We have all kinds of cars from Miatas to Vipers. Normally, I run my green Lotus, but I'm in the middle of some upgrades so I'll be running my blue STI. Come out and I'll give you a ride. 10 am would be a good time to arrive. If you want to run a car, I believe it's about $25 for nonmembers.

That sounds awesome. I will definitely go. I'll ride my ninja over there since it should be good weather by then

My name is Ronnie. I'll be hanging around somewhere with the Blue '09 Subie STI. See you there.

[LotusLacer]

<-- Mike, i'll be walking around trying to find you and/or chris probably, hah. I'll see if my wife wants to come too, i think she'd really enjoy watching.

Slaughtr- are you on NASIOC? we have a subie meet on Saturday night if you wanna go- or hell if anyone here wants to go. 7p Donnie Macs.
Chris- Thanks man! Not sure if I'll make it to the SCCA or not. Should know this weekend if I will. I'll keep you posted.

oh yeah- anyone DD their car when it's warmer? anyone ever go places in their Lot and park it in the lot? get door dings or what not? well not dings, but paint chips or whatever?

No I'm not, just got the Subie, but it sounds fun.

Of course you can DD it.

[advanracing62]

given the quality of Boise drivers, I was just nervous.. I guess there's really only one way to find out. ;-)
yeah, who ever wants to come down- just a bunch of car guys hanging out and what not.

[chris heath]

After all the cones I've hit, and all the track spooge on my car, I don't worry about parking lots.

Chris, we will be autocrossing all day. We do take a short break for lunch. Hitting cones does leave marks and tracking a car always spashes tar and rubber and what-not. It's not terrible, though, particularly if you clean it quickly. Most of my scars are what's left on the Starshield, in front of the rear wheels. Here's another autocross pic.
