I think its just for this event because its right after the autocross school.

The big deal is that some people were screwing around out front at the last autox, and the cops came and bugged the guys running the autox...so metro NY wasn't too happy about that...now they are taking drivers license #'s when you register...I don't think they will make it PCA only for all events though.

There are at least 4 auto-x's in our area this weekend- m-club and NNJR scca on saturday, NASA and PCA on sunday. If you were all hopped up to auto-x on sunday check out the NASA one at giants stadium.
Almost forgot there is another SCCA one up in Rome on sunday as well.

Yeah sold the S, it was time to move on got 4K for it...that's what I was asking. Driving a 2002 Subaru WRX now, picked up about three weeks ago. The car is sweet, and there are a ton of go-fast parts for it so I have a few years of modding fun in front of me.
