Saw this on nasioc, I wont be attending but I thought I'd let you girls know. Looks like fun, and its a good price. Slots filling up quick though!

Back for another year!

On May 22nd and 23rd, the New England Subaru Club, Inc is holding an Auto-x training and practice track weekend at St. Lawrence Motorsports Park in Morristown, NY. SLMP is an oversized go-kart track with enough room for cars to run. Over the two days you will get dozens of sessions on the track to refine existing skills and develop new ones. Fellow drivers (and cones) will be available to help set special courses and drills to assist in the improvement of your driving skills.

-The cost for the entire both Saturday and Sunday is $150, which includes unlimited driving time on the track each day. Payment for the weekend is due up front IN FULL to secure a spot and is considered NON-refundable unless the event gets canceled for any reason. To sign up, send a payment to payments@newenglandsubaruclub.com
-We will be limiting the group to 25 drivers so sign up fast.
-The event is contingent on getting at least 14 drivers.


If you're curious how well cars fit on the go-kart track, you can find videos here from other groups that have gone in the past.

Safety/Tech Restrictions:-All cars will be subject to a tech inspection.
-Remove all extra 'stuff' from your car that is not bolted in.
-Must have working seat belts
-Drivers and passengers must wear helmets.
-Tires must be DOT approved, with a treadwear over 80 for cars over 2500lbs.
-Brakes should be bled prior to event and should have at least 3/4 pad left.

Here is the thread from last year's successful and fun event:

The only reason I am unable to attend is b/c I have a wedding that weekend. If you girls showed enough interest, I'd be open to trying to schedule another one in the later summer/early fall so a bunch of us can go. It would most likely have to be co-ed but maybe I can convince some people to let ladies sign up/pay first.

Let me know!

I'm so game! I'll probably be able to get Amber to come along too. 150 for a full track/autoX weekend is darn good!

I know I'm a little late to this, but I would totally have done this if my BF wasn't graduating this weekend. I would def be up for doing this in the future, plus it's pretty close to me :) I vote yes!

EDIT: I could probably get the BF to do this too ;)
