Figured I should listen to the rules and go ahead and introduce myself here even though I normally don't do this. (damn do I feel lame now :))
This should be a good chance to see if there is anyone that normally visits the VA Motorsports Park here in Dinwiddie, VA. Also would like to hear from the local Auto-Cross groups around here. I am interesting in trying my luck at some Auto-Cross this spring, it looks like a lot of fun and a good learning experience. I will probally also try out my luck @ Open-Track Racing @ Summit Point later in the Spring Time. Got a chance to play there at a club meet, very very fun, but could only run for 3 laps :(.
