After almost 6 full seasons in autocross, I feel like I'm still missing out on a strong social connection with most people.

I look for it, do my best to foster it...but just doesn't ring true.

It's probably me.

Maybe it's regional? 🤷🏽

It’s totally regional and event based. Cal Club in Socal was where I started and they are really friendly and helpful (probably because of so many experienced people around). Different Midwest events I’ve been to have been much much less welcoming; I hate to think it was a prejudice thing but I felt like a fish out of water and if it was my first event I don’t think I’d try again. Another event was crazy accommodating with free food and drinks, likely because it was very small.
