I will be going.
For those who have not been to a div event, it is a two day event where the sum from both days determines where you place. People typically arrive Friday afternoon/night for a welcome party, tech inspection, registration, and to start walking the course. You can also do everything Saturday monring, if needed. We leave after trophies on Sunday afternoon. I always have a great time at these events and I urge you to give it a try.
The venue is an old military airfield that is now an annex of Texas A&M. It is very large and they should have some good courses. Each day has a different course -- usually a similar course on Sunday, but in the opposite direction.
Expect three to four runs per day.
The Houston region, who is hosting the event, always puts on a great event.
Sounds like fun, I hope Ken hasn't sold the M3 by then so I can co-drive :)
I'll be there! I Love divisional events!
I'm actually thinking of going to this one...
But I think I'd get my buttocks handed to me by the competition.
Does Hoosier's contingency program work for divisionals?
No. Tours, Pros, and Nationals only.Quote:

dang. That would have been nice (although I'd have to source 2 A6's to make a set).
Turn out was low for it last year. Are you going if they do? Other tire classers going?Quote:

I'm going if anyone wants to co-drive mine.
I didn't think there was Novice at divisionals. Have fun with the big boys in real ST.Quote:

Anyone want to run in a boost buggy?
I think that the Don Herring contingency program is valid for this event, so if you win the class, you get $50 (woot?).
Edit... anyone that doesn't drive an automatic civic most days (sorry Ben)
Edit again... still on the Toyo RA-1's unless someone has two 285/30/18 A6's (I have two with tread, but you have to have 4 on the AWD or it gets unhappy).

I'm out. Family stuff that weekend :-/
I just realized this is the weekend after I get back from the Bahamas anyway
Learned over the weekend that there will only be 2 Divisional events this year.
To qualify for the series trophy, you have to attend both Div's.
The Waco/Spokes Div. isn't happening!
Just College Station & TMS this year.:(
That blows.Quote:

nice concrete that is
I'll be in FL till after July 4, so won't make it
The new area is great! We tried it earlier this season. If you are considering a Div event, this would be a good one to try. It is a nice surface and not too far from home.Quote:

Don't forget that there is a tire class for this event.
Divisionals are fun two-day events where you get to see some cars and drivers from other regions. We are fortunate that the only out-of-town Divisional is only a few hours away. They have a good hotel rate, so come on and join us.
Hey DFW Miata Dudes!
Divisional #1 only has 63 entries. I only see 16 folks from Texas Region entered?!?!
The site is only 2hr 46 minutes from DFW. This is a great event with a great course designer & is cheaper than a National Tour.
The date for when the late fee applies is getting closer!
From the Houston SCCA website:
Registration:
Be sure to register ahead of time. A late fee is added to the cost of entry starting June 15th (Wednesday).

Speak for yourself about easier registration. We've been trying to register and all we get is non-member status. AXWare continues to s**k. We'll sit this one out much as we would like to come play.
Steve
Steve - I had the same problem, but figured out that you have to go into your profile and add the membership number there. Once you login you'll see a link for 'My Information' under the section 'My Controls'. Click the 'My Information' link and there's a spot toward the bottom of the screen for your membership number. Once you have it in, click the button right next to it that says 'Validate SCCA Membership'. That should fix your registration issues...
There's a note in there that says your name should be spelled the same way in Axware that it is in the SCCA database - I guess it's doing an extra cross check - so if you're Steve in SCCA land but Steven in the Axware world it may bomb out.
Wow, I do not see anyone in Tire. It's a short drive and a good time. If you cannot afford two nights in a hotel, then don't worry -- we cannot get to the site on Friday, anyway. If you only want to stay one night, then you can just register and tech in the morning.
I thought they dropped Tire from the Divs this year....Quote:
