The Next Level

08/25/23 • 33 min

Local events are a lot of fun, but have you ever thought about taking yourself to the next level? The SCCA offers two kinds of national autocross events: National Tour and ProSolo.
Jim Perrin has been attending national SCCA events throughout the Northeast and beyond since the early 2000. In this episode, Jim joins host Mark Mangicaro to discuss what you can expect at a national event, how these events are similar to (and different from) regional events, where you can find them and much more.

Ninety Percent Mental

Mindfulness, to me, means being acutely aware of what your are doing in the moment with an intentional deep focus on the activity or task at hand. To perform at your highest level requires you to be mindful and have a high degree of both situational awareness and discipline.
In this episode we take inspiration from Togi Berra's quote that "90% of baseball is mental; the other half is physical" and apply it to autocross.

Proposed 2026 Changes to E Street

For years the NB Miata and W30 MR2 have provided an opportunity to compete nationally in autocross at a very affordable price - less than half of what it costs to building a winning car in any other category. That could all change in 2026 if the proposed additions go into effect in 2026.
FLR member Mark Krueger has been competing nationally for 8 years- including 3 trips to Solo Nationals. In this episode, Mark joins host, and fellow E Street driver, Mark Mangicaro to discuss the SEB's proposal.
