AutoX events in 2006

Where are some places for autox in the area besides beaver run?
looking to get the girlfriend involved this year with the new civic and she agreed.

so name some spots and what you need as far as gear and shit :beer:
do most autox events let you rent out helmets?

NHSCC runs each year in North Park before Memorial Day and after Labor day (because they use the pool lot).

Here’s a link to their site:

They used to loan helmuts but they got stolen so often that they quit doing it.

There is some more information about the events and out on the left including a link to a Novice Handbook. PittSpeed member ā€œJimā€ put that handbook together…

Best place to buy helmets?

that will be different, to see a Neon AutoX

hmm maybe the 240 is runing around then… ill do some more autoX with it…

well my girlfriend wants to get involved with her 06 civic, i might make a few runs myself…
you’ve never seen a neon autox?? they do QUITE well, even better if you have an ACR with stock adjustable konis and bigger sway bars

I used to be there every weekend in my neon…

Your local motorcycle shop should sell the basic snell rated open-faced helmet.

i know a cop that opened a scooter/bike shop on 88, i may have to stop down

When they were relatively new, Neons were THE CAR to have in it’s stock class. My dad complained that he had to tech 45 Neons one day at an event (he used to be Chief of Tech).

…and old Mike (neonmike22) used to put a world of hurt on some of the Camaro/Mustangs that showed up with his old Neon…

i rest my case about always saying a neon is a nice performing car for its class

its all in the driver…

We’ll see about that, there’s probably only so much i can do with an automatic subaru wagon.

your seriously gonna autox a subaru wagon? :rofl: i gotta see this

hey… i just bought a riding helmet out at tom clark motorsports for like 90 bucs that is snell approved. and jeff. i got a helmet from my old bike still its yours for 60 bucs. snell approved. thats why i kept it.

size? whenever spring comes near and you still have it i might grab it off ya
and btw, do you work for weavertown AAA? i thought i seen you the other day

LARGE, if i have it you can buy it, yes

cool keep me updated,

It’s been done before:

Of course, I don’t have a WRX or a turbo.

thats why im surprised

Almost nothing surpises me with the cars that show up anymore. I’ve seen metros, Daewoos, Vipers, and a Diablo all run locally at one point or another. I usually get more curious about cars that show up on a trailer, wearing race tires and a ā€˜tire rack’ banner on the window (banner usually means the person has run divisional/national events). Thats usually a pretty good sign of a faster car/driver regardless of what it is.

if it has the tire rack banner on the window they normally mean business. whether or not it is trailered doesn’t really change my opinion (except the huuuge trailer i saw w/ painted bmw logo and ///m3 badge with a bright orange e46 m3 at beaverun once)
