Going to be a fun season! Hope anyone that's interested at least tries it out. If anyone is curious and wants to see what it's all about, I'm always willing to show them the ropes and give out rides. We have a good group that does quite a few events.

Could someone provide the address for the Iowa Air National Guard in MT. JOY, IA?
I'm typing that in Google Maps and it doesn't come up.
Is it at the Davenport Municipal Airport? Where they have the Quad Cities Air Show every year?
Let me know.
THanks,

^you are correct. The air national guard is attached to the airport where the air show is.

Is the event still on or has it been cancelled? Forecast says T-storms?

I've never been out to an event. Are these different than the ones they run at the I wireless center. Do they still do any at I wireless?

Today's first event went extremely well. Lots of new people and a great turnout with a huge variety of cars. Event goes on, rain or shine...this ain't dragracing or Nascar. ;D If the storms are bad enough...maybe they will cancel it. But we ran in the pouring rain and were driving through standing water last year.
The events are mostly at the My Joy airport this year, with some of them in Rock Falls as well. We lost the iWireless venue, but there may at least one there. But...they are the same thing just different course layouts.

Again, seriously encouraging anyone interested in this to join us. We have a big, awesome group of friends that goes to nearly all of the events. All of us enjoy having a passenger and teaching the new guys the ropes. The season is starting off strong and the competition is close and tough. Start now!!

Ok guys I'm gonna take the plunge. I've never been to any racing event and going to try my first autocross. My plans are to make it out either may 26 or 27th. It is something I can just show up to correct. As long as I get there early and register as a first timer. Anyway as it will be my first time I'll be tracking down anyone willing to show me the ropes. Thanks and see you there.

I will be out of town that whole weekend, but I might be back on the 27th for the Autocross. I'm not sure yet, but should know soon. I could show you around and take you for a ride or ride with you if you'd like. If I'm not around, I'm sure one of the other guys will step up and help you out. No problem at all.

I'm actually thinking I might be out Monday but I'm sure someone will be there to help me out. I did dig out a helment I had and I'm not sure what they allow. It's a full face motorcycle helment a buddy gave me years ago in case I ever did race. It says DOT on the back. Anyone know how I can tell if this will work or what I need. Thanks again

I think it needs to be Snell rated. 2005?

How did it go today with all the rain. Is it still on for tomorrow. Was hoping for a better day on my first time.

For a crappy, rainy day I had a blast! A lot of new cars/drivers at Saturday's Event.
Still on for tomorrow. AutoX runs rain or shine, only thing that really stops it is lightening.
What are you driving? I'm not running tomorrow, but will probably be out for a bit in the morning to help with Tech and setup...I'll keep an eye out.

I wish I would have gone. I was too warn out Saturday. I worked pretty much all day. I was at Cordova until almost 11pm working on the dragster. I would go today but I have family stuff right after work today.

Forgot to post about this ahead of time, but we do have an Autocross event in the morning. This one is at the Mt Joy Airport again. Tech in at 9 and the cars usually start doing their runs around 11. As always, if anyone is interested in checking this out for the first time or participating...come on out. We can help new people get started and are always willing to give rides if anyone wants to see what it's like.
