This summer I want to start autocrossing. I was thinking about doing all the Bremerton sports car club events. I was just trying to get any info on it I can.
Ha - once you take a hit from the crackpipe of autocrossing, there's no going back! There are three main organizations that set up autocross events - usually they each do one a month during the season so you can almost do one a week if you want to.
Here's the websites of a couple of them...
Solo Solo is autocrossing - ie you are driving by yourself against the clock.
Could also google search the Chuckanut club out of Bellingham that puts on events. I attended a couple they did at the east parking lot of Boeing in Everett. I hear they had one at Boeing of Renton too.
if its autocrossin you want there are a lot of clubs in the northwest that put on events. scca also puts on events. in large parking lots all over the place. and if you want a slower paced action with higher speeds there are also open track days at the tracks. PR , Bremerton, PIR ,Spokan , Grass valley (maybe)

I have allways been interested in autocross, but why in the he double toothpicks to they charge sooooo much for the events? I mean every autocross event I have ever been interested in, there was over $100 just to enter (specificaly the mustang events, like the mustang round up) it was actually closer to $200 to enter last time I checked!!!! I mean, if it only costs $40 to drag race, why in the heck does it cost several hundered to autocross? Is the liability that much bigger? I don't think so, I think there is just a culture that allows these huge prices and it alienates alot of normal joes from trying out the sport. Just my two cents.

I think you have been misinformed. If you want to do a track day at Pacific Raceways, it will run around $200. However to autocross with the SCCA or BSCC, it costs $10 for a weekend membership, plus $25 for either AM or PM autocross. You can run both morning and afternoon for a total of $35 +$25. This will usually get you 4 runs in the am and 4 runs in the pm. The runs are usually about 60 secs long give or take. I doubt you can get 8 runs in at Pacific Raceways on test and tune nights the way things are being run at the moment. It's pathetic how poorly organized they are.
