New Girl....

Postby yz007 » Thu Jul 26, 2012 9:14

Hi everyone!!!

I am moving to the Denver area in 15 days yay!! I am moving from Memphis (yuck I know) I thought I would join a local forum to see what's up with the local tracks, and autocrosses. My husband is from Colorado Springs, but has lived in the south for the last 13 years. We are a Mazda family, my husband's first car was a first gen rx7. After that, we have owned every gen rx7, rx8, and a 2006 Mazdaspeed6. Always at some point one of us had a Mazda. We now have these cars:

I drive a 2012 Crystal White Pearl Mazdaspeed3. It is stock, because warranty lol!

My husband's car is another story lol 2002 MR2 Spyder. It is turbocharged with 225whp. It ran a 12.98 @104mph at Memphis International Raceway.

I like to video the events for fun, here are a few. Thanks! I'm excited to move to Colorado!!

Welcome!
Autocross options are strong here http://www.rmsolo.org/ is the SCCA regional site. We run at Front Range Airport in Watkins (30 minutes east of Denver), and at Pikes Peak International Raceway (30 minutes S of CSprings). Bmwcca also has a good program (and lots attendee overlap with rmsolo). Other marque clubs run programs too, but rmsolo and bmwcca are the two biggest.
Sign up on the rmsolo forums and introduce yourselves, then come out and play!

As I don't do track days, I'll let others detail those. SCCA and NASA both have track programs, as well as open lapping days at most venues. High Plains Raceway is the nicest, newest facility. Pueblo Motorsports Park and Pikes Peak International Raceway are also options.

Thanks!

Many things...

Better than Memphis (I hope)

My husband's family lives in the springs

Higher paying job for my husband.

I'm sick of Memphis

Don't worry, looking at the prices of houses in Littleton/Highlands Ranch area, I'm not going to have a driveway anymore. :(
