Ya. I was thinking about throwing the snows in the back just in case...

Dean 2007-09-21 10:12 AM

It's going to be in the 60s, so snow is not a real worry. 40% chance of precip on Sat. 30% on Sunday, but that is probably very early AM.

Bring your FRS radios for the drive back. Channel 7/7.

I am planning on heading out Sat. at about 7:00am staying over Sat. night.

For k-dogg it is (if he's planning on coming down Mt. Rose Hwy).

If anyone coming from Tahoe wants to crash at my house in Stead tonight, you're more than welcome. I have a garage for swapping wheels too.

I will be coming down Mt. Rose...

Thanks for the offer Cody, I am staying at my buddies house in Reno tonight.

See you all tomorrow! I might be running only Saturday as well...

Not to mention the runway lights bordering each side. . .

It's been raining here for a good part of the morning. Have fun out there, guys :D

I know 1st hand about those lights. :oops:

wrxkidid 2007-09-22 10:56 AM

my buddy and i might go out tommorrow. if we do im just going to ride along and maybe work a corner if they need me.

cody 2007-09-23 09:10 AM

It didn't rain out there yesterday...the clouds and NV views were beautiful though. I should have paid more attention to the course though. Apparently I DNF'd all 6 runs. :lol:

Nick Koan 2007-09-23 03:08 PM

Best autocross ever.

It didn't rain Saturday, but it rained Sunday morning. Which gave those of us running in the afternoon quite the advantage.

Edit: and only two full offs and one broken light (and it was a doozy).

You must have DNFed on the way home then because we only had 5 runs. :lol:

Great fun driving in the wet/rain.

We owned all the morning Corvettes on slicks by miles. Karts on wet tires had top time and I had top PAX until 2 or 3rd afternoon runs when the evil yellow Corvette killed us and then Derick did as well in PAX. I don't recall who won, but Derick got 2nd in overall PAX to beat Nick who had layed down a wicked fast run on his third run.

I think I locked up SM for the Season with 2 days of wins. It really has been a blast driving with/against Mike and more recently Matt. Wish Scott had been running and Matt had run with us all year, it really would have been a blast.

ASL battle was great as all 3 women were on street tires. Denise beat Kelly who beat Peggy in her own car... Maybe this will get randy off his high horse about street tire modifier, but I'm not holding my breath.

Don Smith won both days to hold on to a possibility of winning ES. Gandy is worried. :)

2 weeks to the season finale at Stead. Kevin and I are running this one, so we expect a good turn out and help from the SECS folks.

Nick Koan 2007-09-23 03:58 PM

Pax today went

Ray (or Ken)
Derrick
Ken (or Ray)
Nick

:D

I don't care that it was a slight advantage for the afternoon group, cause at the end of the day I'm still 4th :D

Nick, if we forget about the morning rain, we we're still all over that BSP Corvette in the dry.

Another good point.

Joeyy 2007-09-23 04:31 PM

Ok, I really don't understand the new quote under my user name. Can anybody clarify for me? Thx

wrxkidid 2007-09-23 04:42 PM

definatly fun. no runway lights died but a sign did...

i have video of nick then all of a sudden thump o shit she hit the sign! ill try to post it up.

my buddy did ok. ran an 87.xx 1st clean then a 91.xx +3 Doh! and then a 79.9x but picked up to. his goal was a 79 raw so thats good.

MattR 2007-09-23 05:46 PM

My God, I was felling pretty good about my rain runs, then the track dried up for the afternoon crew and we tumbled down the standings. Oh well, I still think it was the most fun I've ever had in my car (by myself). Seriously, rain + Autocross is insane. I really enjoy running with the SM crew, however, I would have done much better had I stayed in BSP today :lol:

Did somebody come tell you that you can't use hand held cameras in the car? The safety steward was supposed to go tell you after you had it during your buddy's run, but not sure that actually happened.

No biggie, just wanted to make sure you got the message.

bxracer69 2007-09-24 01:24 AM

I can't believe I missed the auto-x in the rain.... I love racing in the rain!!!! anyway, I just passed fernley and my seat bracket snapped leaving me laying in the backseat going down the freeway.... no good. So I turned around and just headed straight back, spent the rest of teh day at the vet's with Liz's friend whose horse had to go thru major surgery, and I finally just rolled back in the door.

sperry 2007-09-24 09:29 AM

So... who hit the sign?

And Nick 4th in PAX due to rain reminds me of this:

:lol: :P

Nick Koan 2007-09-24 09:40 AM

Patty

and

Ouch :lol:

MikeK 2007-09-24 09:45 AM

Derrick beat Ray Miller in pax, with Nick just behind. They were all running in the dry. Very impressive guys!

I officially now live for rain events. Driving in the rain was the most fun run group ever! There is nothing like beating corvettes by 10 seconds raw :lol:

bxracer69 2007-09-24 01:20 PM

I'm soo bummed I missed it... The seat bracket is now fixed, and if it breaks again I apparently have a serious problem. Oh well... 1 weekend left of auto-x so I can keep hoping for more rain/snow.
