For me...
1. I would love to go road racing - WOW talk about expensive, Autocross
is a very inexpensive way to get into the racing spirit
2. A movie, a bag of corn and a soda, or autocross - Way more fun to
drive for about the same money! Plus lasts all day!
3. Do you see cones on the road and think, I can drive around those -
Autocross!
4. It is a great family event, kids can help with the car, wives can
drive - what could be better?
5. What is the point of setting up a nice suspension to just hit pot
holes and get nailed by the police?
6. What a great way to learn your car and your limits - again with out a
bunch of nuts and bolts coming apart due to the person that runs that
red light
7. What else can you do on a Sunday for only $20 or so!
8. Golf Clubs or Tires - Ummmm that is simple - HOOSIERS!
OK I am all bent on this sport, I can't help myself - Gee point 9. IT
KEEPS Me less crazy ;)
Have fun with the presentation....
OH and what better way to keep kids off the streets and from doing
drugs, AUTOCROSS!

Subject: Is AutoX for Me?
Hey everyone, I'm working on a presentation I have to give on autocross
programs for our local sports car club. One of the slides is titled "Is
it for me?" And lists some pretty awful traits:
* Are you that driver wheeling in and out of traffic wishing you were on
the Autobahn?
* Do you wish you could actually drive your car like the drivers at the
Indy 500?
* Does the first snowfall make you want to drive to the nearest parking
lot to do donuts?
* Would you like to drive your car at its limit in a safe and legal
environment
I'm looking for input on what really attracts us to the sport. Any
thoughts appreciated.
-A.
