Rain on Sunday is fine with me... but I'd much rather test-n-tune my car in warn, dry weather. Considering we race in the desert in the summer most the season, I don't really need to work on my "wet setup".

I'm with you ...I 'd prefer it stay's dry on Saturday.

tysonK · 2004-04-13, 09:49 PM

I fear nothing.

Kostamojen · 2004-04-13, 10:05 PM

I posted this in another thread, but anyway, what days are you guys going to race? I know scott will be there sunday, but the test and tune sounds interesting... (I presume its a get-in-line type auto-x day like CSCC has once in awhile) and I dont know if I should step on the foot of whomever wants to take the #2 spot in ST-X

MattR · 2004-04-13, 10:07 PM

Test and tune last year gave me a lot of seat time,,,its worth running.

MattR · 2004-04-13, 10:09 PM

Also, I was wondering if everyone wanted to come over to my house for BBQ, Beers etc on Saturday night. Nothing too crazy (we have to race the following morning) But it would be cool for everyone to get together. Sac crew should be here too.
Reply if your interested,

MikeSTI · 2004-04-13, 10:18 PM

in for atleast test-n-tune dont know yet about that night :?

Dean · 2004-04-14, 03:48 AM

Cold weather, cold tires, last minute scrambling for parts, Sac. guys already talking smack... Smells like autocross season...

Saturday is a combined Autocross school, and test & tune...

In the morning, there will be multiple elements setup to be run individually, and some chalk talk for the students. In the afternoon, the elements will be linked together to form a normal autocross course for more school, and tuning.

If you are planning to instruct, please let Dave and Jim know...

Sunday will be a normal autocross points event.

Should be a cool weekend in more ways than one if the weather stays as expected.

I'll be ther no matter what, my car on the other hand is still waiting for one of those parts I ordered 2 and a 1/2 weeks ago...

I'm up for BBQ...

Don't worry, Dean, we're gonna go out and mug unsuspecting FedEx drivers until we find one with a package for you

Which reminds me, I need one of those weighted hats...........

This year, I'm going to have to say 'oh nooooo'.

ArthurS · 2004-04-14, 07:58 AM

What run groups will STX be this weekend? I may not be able to make it Sunday if its int he morning.

MattR · 2004-04-14, 08:05 AM

STX runs with street tire now, and it will be the last session of the day.

ArthurS · 2004-04-14, 08:21 AM

w00t! I should be there both days.

The way I understood Saturday's schedule explained is that if you're running test & tune only, you'll only be running in the afternoon (unless you're going to help as an instructor). Any running on Sat. morning will be instructors, for a limited time, and students after their chalk talk.

what time should I show up as a first timer?

sperry · 2004-04-14, 09:20 AM

I'm planning on getting out to Stead as early as possible to set up the SECCS "booth" (which reminds me, Matt, I'll need the ez-up and banner from ya if you're not coming out early).

I'm also planning on instructing... I probably don't know enough to help anyone but uber-n00bs that have never tried auto-x, but I figure I'll help out if I can. (Dean, do I need to email Dave about instructing? I was under the impression that just showing up and doing it was all that was required.)

Anyway, does anyone want to resurect the 7am donut meet at Krispe Kreme before heading out to Stead? Actually I think I want to be at Stead at 7am, so how about 6:30am donuts? (Somehow I don't think that's gonna work with this group...

)

dknv · 2004-04-14, 09:21 AM

Mike,
If you're going to attend the school, show up by 8am to register & tech. I'd suggest doing the school, because you'll get more seat time during the day for the same cost. (Did you get your free scca membership?)

ArthurS · 2004-04-14, 09:28 AM

I won't be doing the school...is noon still a okay time to show up?

dknv · 2004-04-14, 09:34 AM

Can you get there by 11:30? I'd suggest earlier than noon, because you'll need to register and get your car tech'd, and we don't know what kind of tech line there will be (since the guys will be starting annual tech on Sat.).

I'll just plan on being there by 11 just incase.

sperry · 2004-04-14, 10:45 AM

Okay, so I guess I'll plan on being at Krispe Kreme at 6:30 Saturday morning. (Damn that's early! :shock

Whoever makes it out there with me can caravan over to Stead where we'll take over a nice area for Group SECCS.
