I prefer the Saturday events. It gives you a day to rest up and goof off after the event.

Thanks, y'all. I go both ways on the weekends - sometimes getting up Saturday morning after working all week is a drag - even for an autocross! Being able to sleep in that day, and run on Sunday is good. But, pushing through that one more day for an event on Saturday, and having Sunday off, is good too. I guess it's all good...

If we don't get more people to come to this event, we won't be able to cover worker stations.

Ever been to an autocross where you didn't have to work? We've done it plenty of times.

Maybe that'll get more people to sign up.

my hint about "working all week" and reference to "drag" was too subtle, eh?

Turnouts are usually low enough that we all carpool in the RWD Civic for a ride to Quiznos............ let's help change that!

We have 2-3 Mustangs going, so that should make easy pickin's for yall with real suspensions.... I'm anxious to test a couple changes I made to my 3700 lb pig...

Congratulations! We need more Girl Racers.

If we're still here when my daughter learns to drive, you'll see her. We had her out in a go-kart for the first time last month -- that sweet 12-yo fights for the racing line right into the corner, and has a natural instinct for making the car (kart) very wide.... I told both the kids they're going to do a season of autocrossing once they get their licenses -- it may just grow on her.

Sweet.

This girl got so mad at Gainesville when her kart died. She was walking off course and saying "That was my best run, not fair!"

There are a lot of females that race on the East Coast.

btw the pre pay thing worked out really well for the BMW club may be an option for the SCCA as well.

This is going to be a blast. Hope to get a lot of runs in and hopefully it is more than a 45 second course......

**w0rd** · 07-18-2008, 10:37 PM

We would do 70 sec. courses if we had enough people to cover worker stations. Right now we are getting stretched thin on tiny 35 sec. courses.

I have the perfect solution for this. Less cones. It would be a mile long drag race with a slalom and a chicago box for good measure. I think everyone wants a 80 mph turn around point too.
