Texas A&M Sports Car Club Fall 2007 Auto-X III Sunday 10/28

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. . .

I think that would be a great place to try next season if they have a race scheduled on a dead weekend here.

I guess we could even take the women and drop them off at the casinos. That way, I lose a race and lose money. Perfect!

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.

jrj512 I think you have a real autocross addiction problem, not only do you go to every event in Dallas now you are driving 3-4 hrs away to get 5 minutes of seat time ;)

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

Oh well, the fun offsets it :D

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.

Jerrett has a fever and the only way to cure it is autocross.

I'm planning on making this trip. McD in Hearne at 7am sounds like a good place to meet.

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

I went to a concert the night before the OKC trip, so you can handle a school function.

I think it may have something to do with your definition of being loved, lets review one of your posts from the past shall we. ::Teacher:

Hey, what happens on Talk Like a Pirate Day stays on Talk Like a Pirate Day. I'm not taking you to Vegas, that's for sure.

Looks like you need to complete this insurance form before registering. I am printing one now to fill it out beforehand.

http://www.tamscc.org/forum/index.php?doc=insurance

Also, registration is open -- http://www.dlbracing.com/Clubs/tamsc...x?EventID=2836. Time to man up and toss your name in the hat.

I got all signed up, but I did not see where to pay the 15 bucks. Anyhow the economical fee makes up for some of the fuel needed on the trip.

You will pay at the event itself. Bring cash!

Naw, we typically have more than 30 drivers, it just depends on the weekend (if there is a Houston event or another event going on at the same time).

Aww, how special. Perhaps we can put together a scrap book of your early days. I think POS Racing is really into Scrapbooking, so I will leave it to him. ;)

Really, it will be great to have you there. Hook up with us in Hearne, if you can.

Also, if anybody knows how to contact Jeff Hanchey, let him know our plans, since he is in Waco.
