AutoX Event #4 & 5 (May 12th and 13th)
 

OK, I just checked weather.com for the this weekend's forecast, and its suppost to be 74 and 75 degrees with partly cloudy on Sunday. Of course we are 5 days out from the event.

I heard a rumor that a certain freshly painted Camaro is going to be running for the first time at this event. I have a picture of it on my cell phone, but I won't steal the thunder by posting a pic of it.

I also see that according to the schedule, our very own MattR and SPERRY our the event chairs. So, is there any teasers of the cource to be had?

Also, do you need our (SECCS) help with setting up the course on Friday?

I am looking forward to the upcoming weekend. Although, at this time I am not sure I am going to be running my Smoke-stang.

You got hte date wrong, the event is this weekend, the 12th and 13th.

Yes, we will probably need a few sets of hands to aid with set up friday. I'm not sure what time yet though, I will let everyone know.

This weekend isn't the 19th and 20th. ;)

Can't wait for the warmer temperatures.

Just as long as they aren't too warm :p

All I can say is that the course will crush all your hopes and dreams.

So it is anti-power and anti-handling? Sweet, I have a chance! :lol:

Sorry about the dates, thanks to whomever fixed it.

I need tires HELLA bad. So I might come to hang out cuz Tim will be there, but probably not.

Teh April?

There are even going to be cones you are required to hit.

Slaloms!
I just hope it's not alot of tight corners requiring downshifts to 1st.

Also would be nice to have some elements we can practice with, (for those who are going to Hawthorne).

Eh, those dates are right, give or take a month.

In my original post, I put it like this. AutoX #4 & 5 (19th and 20th) So, someone else put in the April part.

:banana:

If its anti-power, that would be a super short coarse with a continous turn? If its anti-handling, then it would imply that its a straight shot from start to finish. ALA, Drag racing. IMO, drag racing has a lot to do with power and nothing about handling. So, it would be a contradiction in terms to have a anti-power and anti-handling coarse.

Am I confused???

Cone molestation FTW

You're not confused. You just explained why Kevin put the lol smiley at the end of his post.

A staring contest?

Also wouldn't hurt to plan on helping with setup on Sat. morning or packing up Sunday late afternoon....

Yes Indeed....I would prefer help saturday AM and Sunday night above all else! :D

The course is going to be a surprise, and I'm hoping it will be high speed with major transitions.

I'll be there early on Saturday fo' sho'!


Oh yeah, and since we're on the topic, any word on moving SM to blue group, or still nothing yet?

No word yet, we'll have to make any adjustments the day of the event. If we're making any permanent moves, it will come after this weekend.

Cool. Thanks Matt. I know everybody's been bugging the hell out of you about it...

I got nothing better to do, so just let me know when you want help on Fri.


I plan on RNPing in the afternoon both days. If anybody want me to drive their car for a lap or 2 to give you some ideas on how to attack the course and what your car can really do, I'd be happy to.

Any time I'm not driving other's cars, you are welcome to ride in mine. The first 3 runs during competition are also open for rides.

I'm happy to coach anyone as long as they are enough cars away in my group or in a different group assuming we have enough workers for me to be novice chief again.

yea. let me know for friday too im up for helping. im gonna be there early and run all day saturday then run in the mornings sunday. my mom wants to ride along on sunday. so matt make the course real fast haha.

is a UTQG of 140 AA still alright for street tire or does that make it a r-comp? what is the cutoff? im looking at the Potenza RE-01R 245/40/17. if they are in-stock in reno can i just pick them up instead of paying for shipping?
