Time to try again- just signed up for this event. I missed the auto-x novice school because my car popped a heater hose. Now I've got all new hoses and I fixed a knock sensor wiring fault that was costing me 15-20 lb-ft torque across the entire rev range. Thanks again to FAST for being so kind as to credit me back the fee for the school- I probably wouldn't be able to afford it without that. From reading the MAE page I understand that they're no longer doing that, so I got lucky there. 70 bucks is a lot to a college student.
