CFRC Autocross, May 1st!
Looks fun, but be aware that it's going to severely hinder the number of runs possible. You can't start another car until the first car is completely finished, and it looks like a fairly long course.
Ideally, you should aim for a course that allows you to launch a car every 25-30 seconds. This will minimize the amount of time people spend standing around waiting, and maximize the number of runs.

I don't mind waiting. I've seen many auto-xes put the drivers at great risk by running two cars on the same course where one or more cars losing control could result in the cars smashing headlong into each other.
I trust my own skills on the course but when I go to a solo style event I'm looking to avoid the risk of some other driver losing it and wiping me out. Save that shit for wheel to wheel track events.

About how many runs would be expected? What are the car classes that you will be running?

they don't run in classes there so you jut line up and run. i think they are going to go with grouping runs again which made the last event even better.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

The weather is looking great for tomorrow, let me know if you guys have any other questions about the event.

Like what I just sent you via PM, it's 9am-2pm, you are more than welcome to leave anytime, and arrive anytime as well, you're not required to stay the whole event.

That's mighty nice and wise of you. Its often a pain to have to play beat the clock when registration and tech ends at a particular time at some faraway place.

I like that. Just please try to keep your course cul-de-sac turning radius over 45 feet since that's about the minimum my race barge can do without me having to do a 3 pointer down there, lol.
