TX Region SCCA Autocross #7 - Sunday, September 29, 2013 - TMS Bus Lot

I remember running/working the road course in the rain....it would go on.

According to the Weather Channel hourly forecast for zip code 76177 the following are the chance of rain:

Sat 3pm - 50%
4 to 5pm - 70%
6pm to Sun 2am - 60%
3am to 4am - 50%
5am - 40%
6 to 8 - 30%
9am - 20%
10am to 2pm - 10%

So the first group going out will dry the track for the other 3 heats. And the run order is:

Run 1 / Work 3
XP, BP, BS, DSP, ES, ESP, FM, STC, STX

Run 2 / Work 4
AS, ASP, BSP, KM, FS, SSP, SMF, STS, STU, T, W


Run 3 / Work 1
AM, BM, CM, CS, DM, EP, FP, FSP, GS, GP, HS, STF, X


Run 4/ Work 2
CP, CSP, DP, DS, EM, FSAE, SM, SSM, SS, STR

Honestly, it would not surprise me if they went back to 3 heats for this potentially wet event. Last time it rained hard out at TMS (I think it was one of the first events back in 2012), they went to two heats and did 6 runs.

Yep got pictures of my car on course in a downpour on the infield.

This ain't NASCAR its autocross. ;-)

Fun event today, and perfect weather! Good to see everyone and to be back in a first gen. :burnrubr:

Great course Jerret! That was a real make you think layout.

I thought the course was very well done! That back stretch was all limiter for me (wish I had a couple more mph in 2nd...). Thanks for your great design!

Good job Foley. Putting the stomp down on everyone!

Thanks Brad! There was another 1/2 second out there but I threw it away on my last run pushing out too wide in the 1st big left hander. Still very happy considering how far off the pace these tires were at lincoln. And nice driving to you too!

As far as the course. I thought it was a solid B+/ A-. No real complaints other than the surface. It was easy to figure out but challenging to drive. I didn't mind the pin turn too much. The finish left a little to be desired, but overall a great day of autocrossing! Can't wait for the road course!

I can't wait for the next jfo course ��
