Well, the SCCA region for that area has a web site at:
http://www.wdcr-scca.org/ and several events are listed
there. The Metro Washington Council of Sports Car Clubs
co-ordinates most events in the Baltimore/Washington
area, and they have a web site at:
http://members.aol.com/mwcscc/mw-axnf.htm Those
would be good places to start. If he needs more details,
please pass on my e-mail address.
>He also asked for a list of necessary equipment that
>he would need.
As a beginner, he just needs to show up with his car.
Eventually, he will want his own helmet, if for no other
reason than to avoid putting on the sweaty, loaner helmets.
A good tire pressure gauge, and a small, battery operated
air pump or air tank would probably be next on the list.
Then you go down the path of sticky tires, lighter wheels,
better shocks, etc. etc. - or he could just buy my red Beast
and be done with it <grin>
Hope that helps,
