Proposed 2026 Changes to E Street

Épisode 20

mardi 28 janvier 2025 • Durée 27:49

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.

To write a letter expressing your opinion of the proposed changes, go to crbscca.com . Be sure to select Solo Events Board, Street, and ES on the form.

The Next Level

Épisode 19

vendredi 25 août 2023 • Durée 33:28

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

Épisode 18

dimanche 30 juillet 2023 • Durée 34:15

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.

Getting There

Épisode 17

lundi 12 juin 2023 • Durée 27:30

Competitive driving is a lot of fun, but how hard have you thought about the different options for getting the car to the event?

Do you drive it or tow it? Are the more options? In this episode we explore several options and I bet one of them will surprise you.

Most of what is discussed in this episode can also apply to RallyCross, HPDEs, Time Trials, and even some club racing, so feel free to share this one will all of your driving enthusiast friends.

The Long Run

Épisode 16

jeudi 18 août 2022 • Durée 31:00

We talk a lot on this podcast about changes and the evolution of the sport. There is no standing still. If you are not moving forward, you are falling behind. Yet, it can be easy to fall into the trap of changing things for the sake of change.

Decades ago my mentor, Bob Jubinville, and I came up with a phrase that has guided much of what I have done since then: “Variety may be the spice of life, but consistency is the hallmark of perfection.” Only if you hold a core element (or elements) consistent can you truly know if you are growing or reaching whatever goals you may have over a very long period of time. This is true even if that goal is something as simple as having fun.

Southern NY SCCA member Pat Brennan has done just that.

Instruction

Épisode 15

vendredi 1 juillet 2022 • Durée 58:09

A couple of episodes back we discussed how to get better at autocross. In that episode we encouraged people to get instruction – especially new participants. So… we figured it was about time to do an episode on the other side of that equation: teaching people how to autocross (and how to get better at it).

Greg Turner is a retired music teacher with three decades of experience helping people learn in formal settings. He has also been autocrossing since 2005 and these days puts his teaching skills to use at autocross events. Greg joins host Mark Mangicaro (who has been teaching broadcast media at the college level since 2006) to offer some insight on how to get the most out of the limited time we have when instructing at local events.

In addition to some teaching/coaching tips we also discuss the different types of instruction that are available and where to find instruction.

Two programs mentioned in the podcast are The SCCA Starting line school: https://www.scca.com/pages/starting-line-autocross-school and Evolution Performance Driving Schools http://www.evoschool.com/schools.html.

Safety

Épisode 14

vendredi 22 avril 2022 • Durée 31:25

It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of driving and take safety for granted. That is probably not the best way to approach your day. :-) With the season about to get started, we decided this would be a great time to talk safety.

Jim Gary has been an SCCA solo safety steward since the 1980s, a solo safety instructor for 20 years, and is the current Divisional Safety Steward for the Northeast Division of the SCCA.

Jim joins host Mark Mangicaro to discuss the importance of safety at SCCA autocross events.

Topics covered include why the SCCA has safety stewards, what participants can do to help stay safe at events, and how you can become a solo safety steward.

How to Get Better

Épisode 13

vendredi 25 mars 2022 • Durée 01:03:02

Jim Perrin has been running events in Western NY for decades and in 2022 he will be running a number of test and tunes at Seneca Army Depot where Jim and some other experienced drivers will be offering instruction on how to get better at autocross.

In this episode, Jim joins host Mark Mangicaro for a discussion on how to improve your autocross driving. Topics include getting in the right mindset, setting attainable goals, making the most of your course walks, taking advantage of test and tune opportunities, and using data to understand how changes to the car affect its handling.

For a schedule of test and tune date check out the FLR website:

Space is limited at these test and tune events an pre-registration is required.

SCCA Autocross Categories

Épisode 12

jeudi 3 mars 2022 • Durée 40:42

“What class is my car in?” If you’ve spent anytime at the registration table of an autocross event, you have probably heard this question more than once. Veteran autocrosser and former CNY SCCA autocross chair Scott Newton has answered that question countless times over the years. Scott joins host Mark Mangicaro to help shed a little light on SCCA autocross classing.

Since a discussion of each individual class would be an hours-long conversation that would test the patience of just about anyone who participates in autocross, we keep this discussion limited to the broader topic of categories.

There are nine SCCA autocross categories. This episode summaries each of them by stating the basic rules for each category and how they relate to one another.

For a more in-depth look at the individual categories, listeners are encouraged to explore episodes 5-11 where the 7 most popular categories are discussed in greater detail.

An exhaustive explanation of all of the rules for each category can be obtained by going to scca.com/pages/solo-cars-and-rules and selecting “2022 Solo Rules download”.

Competing in Xtreme Street

Épisode 11

jeudi 10 février 2022 • Durée 37:00

This episode is the 7th and last in a series of UNYAX episodes that focuses on each of the general SCCA autocross categories. (A summary episode will be next.)

Xtreme Street is the newest category in SCCA Autocross. It consists of two classes XS-A and XS-B and was first offered in the abbreviated 2020 season, so 2021 was its first full season. With a few rare (and exotic) exceptions, just about any street-legal car can be eligible for Xtreme Street.

Nick Dixon spent a few years in Street Touring, then Street Prepared, and finally Super Street Modified while waiting for a class that really fits his car. As soon as the SEB announced Xtreme Street, Nick knew that is where he wanted to compete!

Nick joins host Mark Mangicaro for a discussion on the category that offers a lot of freedom for those who like to modify their street-driven cars.
