Re: Autocross in MN??

I dont believe there is a dedicated track for autox in Mn

There are however many tracks built for one race only type of thing during county fairs, and other town get togethers... I know out here by me Hutchinson and Litchfield there usually are 3 or 4 races a summer

This is the schedule for the the SCCA solo region #18 (Minnesota, South Dakota, and Northwestern Wisconsin).

If that for some reason doesn't suit you... pick your region from the below link.

You should definitely try autocrossing. I recently gave a friend a ride around the course and was able to convert her from drag racing. Trust me she is big into drag racing... purpose built car, currently runs low 10's, full sponsorship... so it wasn't easy but she loved the adrenaline rush from this form of motorsports.

Hey thanks alot! Looks like id go down to Winona (atleast a 3 hour drive) but if its that fun id really go down and do it Right now my car has a wonder bar and id like to put in UMIs STB and the LCA and Panhard bar kit. In the near future (winter) maybe lowering springs. I just cant get over how these cars can make sharp turns at 50+ mph so fun Do you know if the Octoberfest one is in New Ulm?

I have no idea where any of that is. I'm from the Milwaukee area in WI. I just went to SCCA.org, puled up the regions and that is your region. Sorry I'm not more help but I'm sure you can e-mail your regional executive to get some more info.

PS - By putting the PHB/LCA kit and the STB on your car, your going to be in the STX class, not F-Stock. Use this to get a better idea of how your car can be classed...
