Dear NSXCA Club Member: (this is an early announcement, with more details to follow)
Autocross is an inexpensive and relatively safe way to experience racing. The CalCoastalNSX group has created a unique and exciting venue for NSX Club members to experience the true performance of their vehicles in a private, controlled environment. Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California was discovered several years ago by Road & Track magazine as the perfect location to conduct performance tests of the vehicles reviewed by their magazine. Today, this area is reserved most every day of the week by automotive publications, high-performance driving schools, and race teams testing their cars.
Autocross involves navigating your vehicle through a course designated by rubber traffic cones. Your speed through this complex course will be compared with other NSX owners. Awards (as well as bragging rights) will be handed out at the end of the day. Besides the social aspects, this event helps you discover your car's capabilities and limitations, making you a better, safer driver on the road. It also develops your own driving ability. Many would-be race drivers use autocross as a jumping point into the sport of road racing. Probably the greatest thrill of autocross is the challenge of beating your own time. It's fun!
The Forth Semi-Annual CalCoastalNSX Autocross and will be held on Saturday, March 6th., 2004 at Hollywood Park, in the City of Inglewood, California. Please be sure to arrive in plenty of time for the 8:30 am ish mandatory driver’s meeting and safety briefing. A catered lunch will be served.
There are two classes of competition at the main autocross event. The classes are based on modifications to your vehicle. Any 1991-2002 model NSX is automatically placed into the “touring class” unless:
1.) the car has been modified with either a supercharger, turbocharger, or otherwise produces in excess of 300 rear-wheel horsepower, or
2.) the car is running DOT approved competition tires(with the newly instated "no full slicks Doug rule") . In either case, such a car will instead run in the “modified class”.
More pre event info will be available at our CalCoastalNSX Meeting in Santa Monica. You can also pre-register at the meeting, for a sure to be sold out event!
Thanks,
John
