2010 Devens Events

[jmac72187]

Here is some basic information. If you have any other questions, PM me and I will be happy to answer them for you.

Quick Overview

Fort Devens is located in Ayer, MA. There are multiple clubs coordinate events at this location. The four unrestricted clubs to run with are NE-SVT (formerly SVTOA), SCMC, BSCC/NESHOC and BMWCCA. Other clubs have restrictions based on the brand of car your drive.

Each event costs around $55 and will provide you with an entire day of fun and learning. BMWCCA events are slightly cheaper but the registration cap is much higher.

These auto cross events are unlike most. The courses are much longer and faster than your average "parking lot" course. Speeds will vary from stopped to 60+ MPH depending on your cars capabilities.

Registration

Registration varies based on the club you are running with. NE-SVT and BMWCCA both require a club registration fee.

NE-SVT and BSCC/NESHOC uses www.motorsportreg.com to handle their registrations.

SCMC hosts registrations on their own site at www.scmcstore.com.

BMWCCA also hosts registrations on their own site at www.bmwcca.org.

What if I wanted to go and hang out for the day...just as a spectator..is that allowed?

I want to check one of these events out for sure this year

[jmac72187]

That is perfectly fine. There is no charge to spectate. You will need a helmet to ride along in cars.

If you plan on it, let me know and I can get you a helmet to use.

I'd be interested in doing that, too, if you're willing. Already have a helmet.

Jump in with everyone that you can. Pretty much everyone will let you ride along with them. Jump in some of the Vette's and Miatas on race rubber.

Hey I did not even realize we had this section on here...

I am going to check this out this season.....I think my car would suck at this though...I have no traction in the first 2 gears...maybe once I get those Nitto NT-05s it will be better or lose the blower?

John how are most Foxes set up that do this?

Just stay out of the throttle. You will really need to learn throttle control no matter what tires you run on. Maybe if you were running Hoosiers or V710's.

The setups vary from car to car. In terms of motors, I have seen everything from beat stock motors to kenne bell'd 93 Cobras. It really has nothing to do with the amount of power though. One of the two fastest Mustangs looks like hell and has the stock 5.0. His suspension is set up right.

In terms of suspension, pretty much the same as every other Mustang. Coil-overs, panhard bar, torque arm, full length subframes, control arms, etc.
