Texas Autocross Weekend 2011

UTA will be hosting the 11th annual "Texas Autocross Weekend" on the weekend of July 23 and 24, 2011. The original intent was for Texas and Oklahoma schools to get together, but it has grown to be a national event with schools from Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Ohio, Canada, Alabama, South Dakota, Florida, Michigan, etc. joining us for a weekend of pure FSAE racing. This is a time to let your hair down and share secrets and drive each other’s cars and see how you stack up against some of the best FSAE cars in the country http://fsae.uta.edu/autox.html .

The venue is an open house Friday afternoon at the UTA shop to view our fleet of 20 cars and to do any last minute repairs. Friday night we will have a social at the school to view videos and play games.

Saturday will be a competition at UTA's big lot with a FSAE course in the morning and a SCCA-style course in the afternoon. Saturday's driving is open to anyone and will be timed by our local autocross club Equipe Rapide. Texas-style BBQ will be served at lunch (sponsored by Go Engineer). Saturday night will be a pizza party sponsored by Go Engineer to hear about features of SolidWorks and Cosmos www.GoEngineer.com/ (http://www.GoEngineer.com/) .

On Sunday, we will attend the Equipe Rapide monthly autocross held at Pennington Field on their concrete parking lot http://www.autocross.com/er/eq...rapide/modules/news/ (http://www.autocross.com/er/equiperapide/modules/news/) . ER will allow 3 or 4 drivers per car on Sunday. Entry fee will be $10 and the 100 dB at 50 ft sound level will be enforced.

In the past we have had 14 schools represented, more than 30 FSAE cars, and over 200 students attend the event. Local spectators and sponsors attend. Some schools attend without cars just to learn.

Please e-mail me directly if you intend to attend. We will handle all details of registration through our own e-mail list.
