Re: No Limit '72 C-10

AutoCross and/or Time-Attack, are simple, very short road course racing. Most autocross events are set up in parking lots, with cones marking the course. While most time attack events are at small race tracks. The two we go to most are at outdoor go-kart tracks, between 1/2 mile to 1 mile. Most autocross laps take less than a minute. These are pretty safe, in autocross, it's only one car at a time on the track, most time attacks will space out 3 or 4 cars in a way that they never really get close to each other. It's a lot of fun, it's safe, and it's cheap. Most Goodguys events now have autocross. Tech is pretty basic. Seatbelts, all lugnuts, no hubcaps, battery hold down, and an overflow tank. (old beer can will do) Most autocross events don't require a helmet, but most time attack and track events do. Since it's you vs. the clock, you don't have to be to worried about the other racers. Just do your best and have fun. I urge everyone to try it. Most will go back for more.
