DancesWithRotors (White Mazda3), MidEngineer (MR2), JayhawkJake (Black Sonic), and I (Sportwagen) went autocrossing last weekend (September 21st). This was our main audience...

Jake still holds the "Coveted" title for fastest Wichita Opponaut, with Midengineer coming in second, me in third, and DancesWithRotors in Fourth. Here are some pics! (All credit goes to Shutterfly user "Nerdy Cyclist Photography" (Pics are his/hers)

You guys are lucky you can have oppo meetups at least once a month and have all this fun.

The two other oppos in upstate NY don't have cars and/or don't autocross.

But every time the Northern NJ AutoX goes on, me, Mathios Rios, and Aaron Brown try to meet up.

They're not old enough lol.

I think I should start bothering oppos in the tri state to show up at the next NJ event, it's close to so many people.

How did you get all the cones? I would kill to find some decently-priced ones.

Huh, that's interesting... oh wait I forgot NY has stupid laws regarding driving (you can't get a learner's/instruction permit until you're 16 right?) Here in KS I was learning to drive at 13, got a permit when I was 14, and was driving by myself when I was 15... I'm now 17.5 and have driven over 50K miles (total) and about 40K of those by myself!

LOL I know! If we lived on a plot of land bigger than 7 acres, I could drive by myself at 14 with a farm permit! We almost did that! Throw a hay bale in the back of my Sportwagen and I'm good to go LOLOLOL

You should make the trek to Watkins Glen next weekend for the Glen Regions best and last event! We're a pretty fun group of guys, or at least we like to think so.
