We have confirmed the dates for our 2010 Drift Cross schedule. For the people not familiar with the RSW Drift Cross series, it is unlike anything we’ve seen in our area. We have one track that utilizes both autocross and road course types of driving simultaneously. This caters to both types of drivers who are used to driving tight, slower tracks as well drivers who are used to driving wider, faster courses. We will also be teaming up with the SCCA organization for a couple of our dates in June and August. The SCCA events will be a slower course with more cones to add more turns. They will provide a higher level of competition along with instruction for those who need it.
This is the most affordable way to get behind the wheel on the road course at Sandia Motorsports Park.

The first time I autocrossed my Focus, I was oblivious to the fact that CDs become flying saucers of doom when g-forces are in play. I had a set of ten CDs in a visor mounted case. By turn three, they became a driving hazard by flying right onto my dash, passenger seat, and floor. continue reading »

I often hear local teenagers complaining about the lack of activities available in Albuquerque. “There’s nothing to do.” I often find myself saying the same thing. But boredom beware, I have found a perfect use of a Saturday, and it’s not just for teenagers. Autocross is fun for the whole family. continue reading »

When Will (“Fox”) asked me to start writing a monthly column on racing, I was really not sure what to write about and how to make it worth reading. Lets face it, I don’t have any serious experience – I’m an amateur autocrosser and run time trials when I can. If you subscribe to Doug Hayashi’s “Pyramid of Speed”, I’m not even at the top:
