Hey everyone,

I've only met a few of you, and apologize for not remembering many names. I drive the blue Spec Miata with the red top. I was sorry to see the autocross dissolve, as the Miata is an excellent car for it!

For anyone interested in autocross, or other competitive driving, feel free to contact me or any of the other board members of the Sports Car Club of Vermont. Although we lost our autocross site in Vermont, many of us attend events in New Hampshire and New York (as well as Connecticut for a few of us track-lovers). If anyone knows of a big empty smooth parking lot please let us know...

Tim Wasilewski, Roz and I regularly attend autocrosses at New Hampshire International Speedway (in the parking lot) put on by the Sports Car Club of New Hampshire and BMW Club White Mountain Chapter. Relatively low speed racing, one car at a time, great folks, no pressure, no special equipment or experience necessary, and not too hard on the cars. If you enjoyed the go-carts, you definitely should try it. Check their websites for specific dates and we'll hope to see you there.

As for www.sccv.org (our club), we are still holding TSD Rallies (also great for inexperienced folks, not a race) and two track events at the Saint Lawrence Motorsports Park in Morristown, NY. If you wanted to drive your Miata on the go-cart track, this one's for you! We drive our cars on a 3/4 mile long go-cart track! It does require a roll bar because you get up to about 70 or 80 mph, but it's all surrounded by grass and also isn't too hard on the car. An absolute blast! Check out our website for links and more information.

Perhaps we'll see you at an August or fall event - this summer's booked.
