Secret Street now has an autocross event Friday nights

[88CRX]

Secret Street Autocross
Street racing is extremely dangerous and one of the most irresponsible driving habits imaginable. To this end Race City is expanding it’s drag racing program to include an autocross-style event. Just about anyone can go fast and straight down the quarter mile, but it takes driver skill to handle the twists and turns of an autocross.

New for 2004 is the Secret Street Autocross program, which will run every Friday night in conjunction with the Secret Street drag racing program.

Participants will be timed with a stopwatch as they drive a set course inside the oval (under the watchful eye of officials). At the end of each run drivers will receive a time slip to verify times.

Gates open at 6:30 p.m., autocross runs begin at 9:30 p.m. and may run as late as 1:00 a.m. (depending of the number of entrants and the level of interest).

Concessions are open throughout the event, however there is no alcohol allowed or sold on-site.

Cost is $5.00 per run.

It is the perfect opportunity to find out what you and your car can do when you have to corner, not just go straight. Bragging rights are up for grabs every Friday night. Racers are encouraged to run both the drag racing program as well as the autocross program all in the same evening.

Who else cant wait till april 16

[thich]

sounds good... but what are their stipulations though?... there's gotta be a hitch (just like their battery kill switch for drag racing..)

[Spyderman_MaryJ]

April 16th you say... Maybe it's time to give it a try!

[EK 2.0]

That's gonna be sweet...The days my DSM isn't running right for the drag track I can Auto X it...

[ExtremeSi]

That sounds great. I've always wanted to Autocross. I wonder what the regulations are.

[buh_buh]

wow $5 a run, that's cheaper than doing Solo II with the CSCC.

[ICEBERG]

Have to wait and see the regulations. There is got to be a hitch tough. Time to

So is this basically the same as Solo II but run by RaceCity rather than CSCC? Are the courses about the same?

and brakes!! It's so hard on them.

[88CRX]

its gonna be tough to decide between draging or auto x what the hell i'll be out for both

[Zero102]

It looks like fun, I think I am going to join in. I'll get the worst times, but $5/lap for fun, why not!

Stupid question, but I thought you didn't need the kill switch if the battery was in the stock location.

[Hollywood]

It will good for spectators too as it is more action.

[fast95pony]

I predict the "drifting" to last until the first "expert" slides into the wall and wrecks his ride,about 10 minutes after the doors open...
