Greetings in the land of snow tires and the low air pressure within, folks. Hope you are all staying warm.
My over-eagerness for the 2014 driving season has once again taken over my better judgement and I’ve spent some time compiling an initial list of dates for mostly high-performance driving education (track time) events but also the nice, informal ADSI autocross events at Quonset. Click on the headings at top to sort them per column and you can slice and dice your way to finding something that might suit your fancy.

I’m going to try to be at just about every ADSI event I can swing this year (about one per month) so I hope at least some of you will jump into that scene here and there since its cheap, easy, close, and super friendly. And there is the LAFTAT award to try to win at our annual end-of-year celebration down at Castle Hill in Newport! Time to put the R compound tires onto the minivan!
If anyone needs any help figuring out where or how to sign up for anything, let me know. The stuff marked “PCA” is Porsche club stuff that may be a tad more exclusionary to people who don’t want to go to Excellence magazine and use VINs of cars for sale to join the Porsche Club without having to actually buy one.
As the info becomes available, I’ll probably either start a new list for other autocross-specific stuff or mesh it into this one since its sortable. There will be lots of autocross events up at the old Devens airfield in Ayer, MA. There are some at New Hampshire Motor Speedway too, but that’s a bit far for me to go for autocross. But if you want it, let me know. Maybe at some point, we’ll have adequate numbers to take over the airstrip in Hopedale MA for our use or figure out how to use Quonset when ADSI isn’t there...
And my wife has been grumbling that the Wives of the Automobile Club de FASRI is in the nascent form of staging shoe-trying and brassiere-buying excursions. Your wives may get dragged in too, so quickly get signed up for some events so you’re not sitting around the house while Jimmy Choo takes all your money!
BTW, now’s a great time to get that brake fluid flush and brake wear check which is about the only really big things your car will need to be ready this year! Spring will be here before we know it! (I hope!!)
Best,
