Hawthorne NV Autocross
 

If you are planning to go, you can preregister by May 17th, pay $55 at the site (after May 17th, $65):

www.myautoevents.com

Headquarters Hotel: El Capitan Motel & Casino, 1-800 922-2311 for reservations. Tell them that you are with SCCA in order to get a pre-reserved room and special rate. Rooms are limited.

The Las Vegas club is really after the trophy this year, since Reno has won it the past 2 years. It should be a good competition.

Sweet. I'll pre-register soon. Who is all going? And does everyone want to just chip in on the hotel?

Yes, going.

Oh, I guess that's obvious huh?

ARGH!! I really want to go and help represent the Reno Rexes, but alas, I'm committed to a weekend of debauchery in Vegas. :twisted:

I still owe the LabMonkey for my 21st b-day. He and some friends took me bar hopping... I still only remember the 1st hour or or so of the night... the rest is (thankfully) blocked out. Aparently at one bar, Austin ordered me a double straight vodka, and I spilled it all over the bar. So the tender handed me a straw and the instructions "SUCK IT UP!!"... which I did. Like I said, thank god I don't remember any of that.

So... it's payback time!! :twisted: :twisted: (I'm talking to you Austin!! You're D_O_N_E! :twisted: )

i'm gonna go for sure, I'll talk to you at the meet Art...

smack talk has begun
 

I surf the Las Vegas scca forums now & then, its amusing to follow their smack talk about the N/S Challenge:

I'm signed up for Hawthorn. Maybe we will get lucky and it will rain.

Theo

Theo, wanna ride out there with us?

So we have:

Theo
Debbie
Matt
Tyson
Myself
Possibly: Shawn
Possibly: Evan

Anyone else?

What time are you heading out? I have to pick up my kids before I can leave. I'm thinking I'll be lucky to get going by 5:00pm.

Theo

I would like to leave by 6 pm friday....depends on when I get out of work.

6 on Friday sounds good to me also. I get off at 5, a little earlier if needed.

so what are we doing about a hotel?

I guess we get a discount at one of the hotels there.

Not sure exactly how to set it up yet. I have to finish registering today or tomorrow anyway.

They may be out of rooms, given the number who have already signed up on myautoevents.com - but try anyway:

Headquarters Hotel: El Capitan Motel & Casino, 1-800 922-2311 for reservations. Tell them that you are with SCCA in order to get a pre-reserved room and special rate. Rooms are limited.

I got into the El Cap. $39.00 per night. Great deal.

Theo

I reserved a room, but all they had left was a Double occupancy, so I need a roomate, anyone wanna split one? Sounds like a pretty small room from what the guy said, so I think I'd wanna share with one person max...hehe, If it sells out, there are other decent places to stay out there.

Yah Matt I'll room up with you!

deal! should be pretty affordable with us splitting it, sweet, but I got stuck with a smoking room, so bring an air freshener :lol:

smoking , :? holy, what the, god man, mother, shittin, piece of, son of .





well it will have to work.

Okay. That one hotel is full. I can make reservations at the Holiday Lodge. Evan you still down to get that room? We would need to reserve by tomorrow.

Alright. I may have run into a snag in my plans. My secretary just made 2 appointments for me on Saturday. These are both Life appointments, so they are fairly important. I am going to attempt to reschedule, but still not definate if I will be able to make it Saturday. Ill be sure to let everyone know. :x

Woah, you have a secretary!? No wonder you have to dress so nice everyday. You have like a real job!! Today, I'm wearing my perl h4x0r t-shirt and a pair of khaki shorts. :P

Yea I have a secretary. She is shared between the 3 agents in the office. :twisted: That almost sounds bad :lol:

That reminds me of a classified ad that got ran in the local San Luis Obispo paper... it was something like this:

Soooooooooooooooooo wrong!!! :lol: I think it was a joke put on by one of the frats. (Austin, do you remember the actual wording? Glen had it clipped out and posted on the dart board at the Skrap Hus.)

I just realized that I didn;t pay on Myautoevents.com...is there a place to go on the site to pay for the event, or do we just pay when we get there? I looked around on there and saw nothing about payment. I is confused. help

She said you could pay there, but it was 10$ more. So 65.00$ at the event.

I'm pretty sure that we just needed to register, the main thing the SCCA is worried about is getting all the cars registered before the event so they can make things run smoothe, I think the payment is at the event, just bring your register paper you printed from the site(you did print it out right, well did'nt you matt?).


edit: damn, art is on the ball

tyson-"why am I always behind old ford vans before on-ramps!"

Yep, I just found the instructions on the SCCA site, we're good to pay 55 at the event. I can't wait...

Matt (4th out of 4 cars in STX standings) :lol:

Ha,

I didn't know it was going to list your sponsor under your name in the event list. \\Here's what mines looks like

03 Subaru WRX MBP
The Tyson Kueper Racing Fund :lol:

matt, my browser only shows me, you, and theo in the standings :?:

Tyson, do you have to run STX cause of your wheels? :oops:

No, I run it b/c I'm a BAdAss!






yah my wheels place me it that class.

HAHAHAHAA! Nice one

Hey Debbie,

I can't make it Saturday night, but would probably be able to make it Sunday. If I did go up Sunday, would it still be 55$ for the day? Thanks.

Arthur

Art - $55 is for the package. I think if you go on Sunday only it'll be something like $25. I'll see if I can find out for sure and let you know - because even if you can't go on Sat., you'll still have fun racing on Sunday.

Yea, if you can find out for me, that would be cool. I kinda need to know by today. Thanks.

Art: you can show up on Sunday and pay $25 entry fee for just Sunday .

If you are sure you're not going to be there on Sat., the registrar needs to know asap -- so they don't prepare a registration package for you. Will you know for sure today? If so, let me know & I'll pass that along to Rick & Barb K.

Alright. Can I just pay that if I go out there? I am still not to sure about it all, especially the drive and the money for only one day.

Yes, if you want to just show up Sunday morning, you can pay $25 to run then. Registration is between 7-8:30am. There is a pizza party after Sunday's events, with awards presentations that's alot of fun. It's across the street from the airport/event site.

Also if you signed up on myautoevents.com, you should edit your entry and select the 'cancel this entry' button.

So should I let them know you won't be there for Saturday, for sure?

I will not there Saturday FOR SURE. I have 2 appointments i have to make. If they accept my proposal, that could buy my new exhaust :D

And I am still not even sure of Sunday.

Sorry you didn't make it Art, we were watching for you...Anyway, what a great weekend, the course was CRAZY FAST :twisted: !!!!!!!!!!! Like nothing I've seen, what a blast. 131 cars competed, and yes, Reno beat out Las Vegas region for the overall title...outstanding. There were some fast cars! my goodness....I also took a ton of pics so you guys can see what went down....Talk to you later

Matt

i really shitted it up on sunday.
course was fast.
matt flew thru the course on sunday.

total fun had: a lot
total funds spent: a lot


tyson "i guess i dnf'd, but i only remeber hitting 2 cones"
timing official: "you missed a gate"
tyson "oh"

*lurches car back to grid*

Sounds like it was a blast.

Only thing I can saw about my weekend is I got a speeding ticket for 82 in a 55. :( But the cop knocked it down to a 76 in a 55. I swore the speed limit was 65 out there in portola. Bastards.

I perscribe one V1 radar detector as your next upgrade. Mine has saved me many times over it's cost which of course have been spent on other go fast goodies.

Yea, I do eventually need one of those. This ticket is going to be like 250$+, but I am going to court to fight it. The cop clocked my while passing someone. Who doesn't speed up to pass a slow car on one lane highways?

I seriously didn't even realize I went up to 82 mph or whatever. I was just trying to pass. Damn you Subaru for making such a nice, fast car. 8)

Whoa. I swear everyone loves those V1 detectors, all this word around has almost broken my spirit, I might have to buy one, or I could could just never speed.

tyson(next auto-x I'm taking no prisoners)

I don't often, but it seems when ever I do more then 10 over, BAM, slapped with a ticket. One ticket on the way to Vegas I got 2 years ago, would have paid for the V1.

Arthur (next auto-x, I'm going to be held prisoner)

I got 2 tickets in the WRX, so I bought a V1. It's the bomb. The best thing about it, every braap! constantly reminds me of my ticket, and makes me drive 75 or less. :lol:
