Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once
Default AutoX April 14, 15

OK, well I may be jumping the gun here. According to WEATHER.COM, the weather for this upcoming weekend is suppost to be exactly the same as last years' event.

Make sure you bring your heavy jackets!!!


Other than the weather, I can't wait.

It will be fine, it's just a school and test on Saturday, Sunday will be clear. Jesus loves Autocross.

Dude, you can use a loaner helmet (they only itch a little at first).

Plus 1 for a loaner helmet. Did my taxes, and they were very evil to me. However, its not like I have the money to give to those RAT BASTARDS anyway.

Humm. This is interesting. Excerpt taken directly from the 2007 Reno Region Supplemental rules.

3.3.2. Novice Class Eligibility
Drivers that have never competed in more than 50%
region or club are eligible for the Novice program.

From my understanding, when I sell my STI to Pete and get another vehicle, I can actually run it in Novice till I get used to it. I only made it to 50% of the events last year. I only made like 4 events the previous year.

I'll probably come down and hang out. I still need to get a new windshield, mount up the tires and get an alignment before I saddle up to race. The funds are still looking a little low from my BX race season too. So it will probably be September when I race out here.

True, but if you run at all this season in AS (or whatever) and switch to N, you're not eligible for Novice awards.

Come to a few events, it won't take long to learn how an event is run.

If you are smart enough to be in a debate club, you should be able to figure out how an AutoCross event is ran.

Scott, I'm not concerned about taking a novice award. Its pretty obvious that I am not a novice. I am more interested in learning a new car (if Pete gets his loan) then being the top Novice Class driver.

No reason not to run in ESP for points while you're 'learning' the car, which shouldn't really take you all that long to be honest. Running in class will help you gauge your progress in the car. running Novice doesn't really give you a way to quickly check how fast you are (or aren't).

I'm sure someone will be around during your run group. Ask them if you can take a ride along with them, or if they mind riding along with you for a lap.
