I'll probably go to this, an autocross 10 minutes away is just too tempting to turn down.

If Greenville's site were Texas

The McKimmon center would be Rhode Island

Not unless there is another parking lot there.


You beat me to it. I was just going to ask how it compared to G-vegas.

I'll be there to support the club unless I get a wild hair and go to VIR.

That's smaller than the Park and Ride site that Triad uses. Damn.

You can't see the light poles in that picture. There are lots of them.

Like the distinguished gentleman before me said, an autocross 10 minutes from home is hard to beat.

I don't think anyone ever accused Brice of being distinguished!!! :poke:

Plus, I didn't think a Dookie would set foot anywhere on the NCSU campus. :shrug:

Sorry guys the date is due to the university schedule. The Mckimmon center was the only location we have convinced so far to let us hold an auto-x in Raleigh. After talking with the RBC center multiple times the deal with them is that after their change in management and previous shenanigans by people there in the past they say absolutely no to an auto-x. We have talked to the state fair grounds as well as the State Trooper Training grounds off of Tryon RD and both may be possibilities in the future. Hopefully this will have a fairly good turn out for the first auto-x held by the WSCC. I personally have been very impressed by the great strides we have taken as a club since I founded it earlier this year. It is not the most ideal spot but its a start especially if the event goes well.
