***EXPO 9 @ Autobahn Country Club South on May 18th and 19th ***

Registration is open. Please notice that we added a $40 late fee to those who end up paying AFTER February 6th. We simply can't afford to rely on a select few to front the necessary funds for people that want to wait until the last minutes, it really puts us in a bad situation.

My CCs are frozen- I did it on purpose. I'll try and sell some stuff on ebay by then. Do members of autobahn get any type of deal?

I'm clearly a noob to your forum, but am a regular at 8thcivic.com. Are you guys not doing a VIR event this year? I was dying to get on my home track for the first time, with other enthusiasts from the extended Honda family.

nope, EXPO moves around to different tracks and this year it's at Autobahn as stated above. Still worth coming. Feel free to join us.

Wish I could, but don't have the funds for an extended trip like that. Had it been VIR, I could have stayed with family in Danville. Believe the fact that I'll meet up with you guys sooner or later.

Edit: Whoever's organizing your meet, might want to let VIR know you're not doing the track day there. For some reason they have you scheduled for the same time in June, as last year.

That's interesting. I haven't talked to them at all about coming back this year.

Matt, most of us camp when possible. Should camping not be an option, splitting a hotel room with three others will help lower costs. If the time isn't there, fly out and just enjoy watching cars on track and hanging out with a great community. I can assure you someone will help you out getting from and to the airport.

I really wish I could join you guys. My Si is my dd, and I'm a mechanical noob, so if I came up there, I wouldn't have my handy "crew chief" to help me through things. I've also never done a track day, so I'd be a beginner across all the boards. Believe me though, I'll be following what you guys are doing, and will definitely meet up with you all the next time you're at VIR. :D
