Okay, it’s time for another road trip. Who all is interested in heading down to College Station for an autocross on 10/28? The event is at the Riverside Annex.
More info at DLB Racing or the Texas A&M Sports Car Club page.
I was thinking that we could meet at 7 AM at the Golden Arch Café in beautiful Hearne, TX on 906 S.Market (Hwy 6). Their dining room open at 6 AM -- I called.
I do not see a Tire class, so we will just have to run in normal classes.
Who all is in?
I don't think any Red Raiders are welcome in Aggieland for a while. . .
Here are some pics from their event today. Interesting venue.

Could go to S-port.

Looks like Mineralring before the makeoverQuote:

I did an event with RRR earlier this year. Great folks. Great event.
If you think Mineral Well Air Park is out in the middle of nowhere, wait till you see Red River Raceway.
The ol' Riverside Annex is an interesting place - a little rough, but wiiiiiide open. Looks like they could stand to get the weed-eater after it... yikes! I was a TAMSCC member during my illustrious year down at Aggieland... good times!
Are y'all going down there the night before, or heading out way before sunup on Sunday?
We will leave early Sunday and return that night. I figure I will have to leave home at 4:30 AM.Quote:

I doubt I'll be able to make it. Haven't had all my shots yet.:rolleyes:Quote:

Dang... I never realized that... I was only actually driving the course for less than 6 minutes yesterday. Lotta money for that!Quote:

That is exactly the point. It is not just about your time on the track, but the day as a whole, such as breakfast with everyone where we always cut up, learning a new course as you walk it, the nervousness and anticipation before each run, the high when you pass through the finish after an awesome run, the discussion of technique between each run, watching other driver's techniques as you work the course, and giving each other shit for their times while you wait for trophies.Quote:

A school function the night before may keep me from me from the festivities.... ::Teacher:
