Saturday is the school... if you signed up as a student, you are pretty much guaranteed instructor help if you want it.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once

So, who is running what classes?

I'm in AS, anyone else?

Also, can we create a sticky thread for Autocross pictures for the whole 2007 season? That way we can all post pictures to the same topic instead of different topics for different events?

BSP para mi. Sticky picture thread sounds good, but I don't take pictures so hopefully someone else will.

If he can find someone to "spot" him and checks in with the safety steward, he can go on track and take pics all day. We definately need more AutoX pics. My camera is crap.

No problem at all. You should be done in the morning on Sunday by noon or so.

Cool, this should be interesting. Good thing i got the RE92s on yesterday. Its going to be a cone massacre!!! How much is the entrance fee? And can i count on somebody having a pump or should i fill my tires at the Shell station on the way? Anything else i need to bring? My friend in the GTI might come out too.

$25/day for members, $35/day for non-members. You would possibly be able to borrow an air pump before you had to work or drive, but it's easier to pump your tires up to about 40psi cold and let the air out as they heat up between runs before you get there. Other than that, just bring your driver's license, cash or check to cover your entry, and don't forget to show up early for tech, since it's the first weekend of the year!

Robbie, show up at 8 at the latest, so you can get through reg. and tech in time for the driver's meeting. Really, I suggest to all newbies to do like I did last year and get there as early as you can, i.e. 7am, and help set up the track. It really helps you get a good look at the courses and get familiar with them.

By "spot him", Cody means that you have to have someone along with you at all times on the track while you're taking pics. If you're focused on taking a picture of a car, looking through the view finder of your camera, you might not see the car spinning out coming up behind you, so you MUST have a spotter to watch yo' back!

Loaner helmets are free if I recall correctly, you just have to clip your driver's license to their clipboard as collateral, so they can make sure you bring the helmet back!

Spoting is a safety issue, if your buddy is concentrating on taking pictures, he isn't exactly looking out for the car he doesn't see. I.E. people get hurt that way.

Plan on being there by 7:30 AM.

I think running in the afternoon costs an extra $10...I know it does for members anyway.

Loaner helmets are free. I borrowed helmets all last year. I finally picked one up before the free track day at RFR though. IIRC, it was like $120 from Summit Racing.
