Free tomorrow (Sat 5/26)? Come to AutoX @ Devins!

Hey Guys,

I'm autocrossing the Miata at Ft. Devins in Ayer, Ma tomorrow. If you want to come see what it's all about, it's gonna be a beautiful day for it! For non-racers, it is a FREE entry! And bring a helmet, and you can go for a ride in ANYONE's car! They are all more than happy to take you out! Go for a ride in a C6 or Viper or Cayenne being pushed to its limits!!! FOR FREE! You can even go out and work the course if you want...

So if you're free, come on down. Gates open at 730am, but no need to get there that early if you're not racing.

Here's directions:

Quote :

Directions - The gate is located off 2A in Ayer (Approximately 90 Fitchburg Road, Ayer MA), a north of Route 2 and West of Route 495. Both directions converge at a Rotary in Ayer at the junctions of routes 110, 111, and 2A. There is a Ford dealer (Gervais), a Wendy's, and a McDonald's at this rotary.

From Route 495: Take exit 30, route 2A and 110, West toward Ayer. Proceed 4 miles to rotary.


From Route 2: Take exit 38B, route 110 and 111, North toward Ayer. Proceed 2 1/4 miles to rotary.


From the rotary, proceed west on routes 2A and 111. This will take you to Ayer center, and at about one mile routes 2A and 111 turn right; so will you. Proceed past Bishop Road (old entrance) on the left.

Stay on Rt 2A which forks to the left for approx another mile. The north entrance to the airstrip is on the left. There should be a sign marking the entrance. There are motorcycle driving classes on the lower lot to the right as you enter. Our event is up the hill to the left. Look for the person with the waivers at the base of the hill.

You all have my cell, but if ya don't here it is: six oh three four eight nine nine seven eight four

It really is a blast. Come see for yourself. Even if it's only for an hour or so.

should be a good turn out..... my shop is in the next town over...... put racing tires on 14 cars this week..... miatas, s2000, GTO's, BMW's, porsche's, alfa, aston martin and a couple amg's



........ heard nothing but good things about this event.... it brings out everybody

Wish I didn't have to work. I'm pretty sure the kid Ben I told you about will be there racing his go kart, er I mean miata. It is black with a silver (i think?) hardtop. Introduce yourself, he's got a ton of parts.

I can't go tomorrow, but hopefully this becomes a routine event for people from the forum to show up for, I'd love to go see that for sure...

I think I'm going to try and get myself a seat driving the twin to crovos miata in June, hopefully he will still have the car for that event and we can meet up!

As for tomorrow, no go with me I shoulda been on earlier to see this.

What an -AWESOME- day!

You guys missed out. The miata was HORRID out there today. Worn out suspension, greasy tires, and no power whatsoever... But I did place 4th in my class... Even with spinning out on like 4 runs. LOL. I even had an instructor who'd been racing Miatas for years drive it, and I was a half second quicker than him. But man... Am I beat up! Holy crap! No power steering sucks! And that sun really wore me out...

There's one next Saturday also, that I think I am going to go to.

Plan ahead.

I'm going to just get my own cones.

12 runs. 1.2 mile course. You should come out!

Infinite Truck Therom:

With enough trucks loaded and enough time the stuff you need will fall off a truck.



You just have to keep your eyes open.

If its cones you need I got that covered.

Bill how much is the entry fee? Is there any kind of club requirements? Do they allow caged window-less hooptie ass race cars? I might have to consider bringing the lemon.

Chris

It's 50 bucks to enter. And I was talking to one of the guys yesterday, and he is bringing his Lemons car next week.

Go to Motorsportsreg.com and create an account. Sign up with Bay State Corvette, and register for the event. There are only a couple spots left. So ya gotta hurry! We run with a couple other clubs there, too, but BSC is the one hosting next week's.

Hmmm $50 to burn off the rest of the BFG's on my VW....

The web site states "Things you need to know before you sign up to run with us:

1. You need a valid drivers license and the car you plan to use needs to have a current registration with valid sticker. No dedicated racecars please. Your car must be street legal and have a full exhaust. Cars exceeding 105dB at the start line are subject to rejection. "

boo

So I emailed the dude who's email was on the thing. And he said "NO"

Oh well

Bummer. Half the "regulars" that also run the clubs, have dedicated track vehicles that are no longer registered on the street.

Seems like a bit of favoritism...

You want to co-drive the Miata?

Co drive the Miata.. Lol, some of us couldn't squeeze into one of those if we tried!
How much of a beating does the car actually take? I'd like to run my bmw but its my only car right now, if It broke it I'd be screwed! Then again I do beat on it, 6k shifts often..

I'd have fun just riding along in the Miata...lol.

I went to a Mini Cooper dealership "track day" once and didn't even drive the cars and had a blast.

The brakes and suspension REALLY gets worked. And you may or may not bounce the motor off the limiter in 2nd gear a few times, too.

And Paul, the Beemahs usually outnumber the Miatas there.

I found out just how terrible the tires were on my car yesterday. Awful!

Wow. Lamest AutoX run EVAR!

And jeesh... Have a few cones! lol

Same offer. Different day. We talked about it in other threads, but here's just a lil reminder.

Went to the autocross today to route for the prez. Had a blast!!!! Got to ride in a C6 with a maniac and got a ride in a miata with a 5.3 in it. Oh and I almost forgot- rode a bunch of times with a guy whose license plate "NOCONES" does NOT suit him very well. Thanks, Billy. I'll definitely be back and if I find some more tires maybe even try and ruin the impala out there. I strongly recommend going next time to everyone. You'll love it.

Glad you had fun, Bill! I did too! I got A LOT better after you left. I rode with a couple of the guys in their Miatas and they were being WAAAAAY more aggressive than I was. So I just started leaving my foot stuffed to the floor and tossing it into the corners... And it stayed on the track!!!! I knocked more than 5 seconds off since you rode in it! What a blast! But man, I did a number on those new tires I had! LOL!

And here's proof that Bill was there... He's the guy in the helmet. LOL




And this is the most gorgeous 69 Camaro I have ever seen. LS7, T56, tons of carbon fiber, real clean work... Musta had a hundred grand in that car, easy. And he was THRASHING it! Man, I love to see that! He was doing really well, too!

THAT^ is a nice Camaro! Next time you go I'll bring the Slut and a trailer and you can distract him so we can steal it. Holy crap it's clean!

Glad it was fun, I want to try and get out to an event soon so maybe next time you'll see me there.

Hey Matt, he wasn't a regular. Car had Florida plates, and he was talking about the autoX in Nashville he was in last weekend... Someone's enjoying his retirement!

(I hate that guy. lol)

If you run the impala Bill have someone video, I'd love to see how that Hotchkis performs in that car.

I'm sure the hotchkis will do fine, Glen. The driver is another question. More sick-ass camaro pics-
