Forum will no longer be utilized!

After facing many challenges with utilization of this forum for many years, the board voted on the evening of 1/12/2026 to stop use of the forum in favor of the modern, more effective means.

Most of our general club organization will now be coordinated via Discord and results from our events along with schedules and announcements will be hosted on our main alscca.net webpage.

What does this mean for the old forum? Well, in short we are going to stop using it. This has been reviewed several times in the past few years, and there has been a desire for some of more tenured members of the club to have the historic content preserved. In an effort to preserve this content, it was discovered that we could not simply export the content to be placed in a modern website. This forum will now become an archive only forum and will not be monitored. If you wish to preserve any of the content, this is your time to search the pages to find it. There is no promise that this content will remain available forever with the fragile nature of this forum.

    Experienced S2k Drivers going to Huntsville

    I ran my first autox at Oak Mt last week and I didn't do so well. Of course I sucked because it was my first, but my car was horrible. Cheap tires, less than 1° of camber on the front, brand new coilovers straight out of the box etc. It was like driving on ice - actually ice is easier...

    I have upgraded the tires, now running BFG Rivals 255 square, with more camber (not enough without a camber kit, but it's maxed out). A Gendron front bar will go on tomorrow. An MX5 front bar will go on my rear Tuesday. Corner balance Wednesday or Thursday. Back to the Oak Mt lot to play with the coilover setups Friday and Saturday mornings. Sunday there will be no blaming the car.

    My S is supercharged with 340 hp or so to the wheels. I have four goals with autox (for now): 1. Make my car safer with the power. 2. Be a better driver. 3. Have fun. 4. Setup the car to safely handle higher boost levels (+/- 400 whp) next year.

    Anyway, I'd like to ride with a competitive S2000 guy on Sunday if you don't mind 200 lbs of extra weight for a run. And, I like the same person to take my S for a run and give me some advice on adjustments to the car.

    I'll buy lunch.

    I see where you have also posted on the TAC/TVR forum. That is where you're most likely to get the best advice as they have a quite a few S2K drivers up there including some SSM guys.

    Unless you have rented the site for yourself, please rethink this. You will be running the risk of getting busted for trespassing (Oak Mtn Amphitheater is private property) and possibly reckless driving. At best it is the sort of "PR" we absolutely do not need. The club does not condone this sort of thing and it could conceivably cost us our autocross site. I know it isn't the answer you want, but the proper place for you to test is Sunday at the TAC autocross and then again at our next event.

      Got it, you're right. Confirmed my own concerns about this.
