A few Opponauts and myself are planning on attending an SCCA "SOLO" autocross event toward the end of the month. We urge anyone who can come, to come, and would love to meet and interact with other Opponauts. You do not need to be an SCCA member to partake in the event either!

Here are the event details from the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Don't worry if you have not yet taken part in an autocross or SCCA event, I haven't either! If you would like to come, please just drop a line in the comments so we have a rough idea of who/what to expect!

Special thanks to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for choosing the event.

Truthfully it was his idea. I had no interest.

Last time these guys met up, I met them. And it was really...really....far!

We met at High Point State Park, and I was on the way to NYC.

Heard weak things about SCCA autocross'. Also was unsure if 944 will be ready, still have a bit to do.

Definitely thinking about going, even though I won't have the Miata's suspension done yet.

Will I need a helmet or a racing harness if I want to participate? I don't have either :(

I'll take my mom's Honda Odyssey. Brb, making the correct mawds.

I don't think you need racing harness, helmet probably, unsure of the spec though.

They won't let you run an SUV

No harness necessary. Loaner helmets are available if you don't own one.

Louros > Aaron Brown 03/20/2014 at 13:00

I'll probably be there

Do it.

How much would they cost?

Louros > TurboSloth 03/20/2014 at 14:55

They are free. Sweaty, but free.

TurboSloth > Louros 03/20/2014 at 15:01

If I want to borrow one from a friend, do I need to have a certain spec? I'll assume that they have this in an SCCA handbook right?

Louros > TurboSloth 03/20/2014 at 15:40

Needs to be Snell SA rated

What makes you say that?

Rollover risk due to high center of gravity

Further research shows that you are indeed correct. Shit.
