The North Texas Autocross Series (NTAXS), presented by the North Texas S2000 Owners Club (NTS2KOC), is hosting our second event of the 2010 autocross season on Saturday, April 3, 2010 at Texas Motor Speedway in North Fort Worth. The entry fee is $35 per person and you must pre-register at http://www.dlbracing.com starting Friday, March 19th. There is no on-site registration. The event is limited to 60 drivers, so sign up early. Please join us for a great day of racing and fun.
You get eight runs at NTAXS events, so you will make four runs in the AM session and four runs in the PM session. Unlike SCCA-style events where you return to grid and wait for the rest of the grid to complete their run prior to starting your next run, at NTAXS events you immediately return to the starting line after making your previous run in order to begin your next run. You are, of course, allowed to briefly pause between runs in order to tend to your car (such as checking air pressure, watering down tires, and so on), and there are usually enough people in your run group (typically eight drivers) that you will have a short wait, anyway.
8 AM – 9 AM Check-in, Registration, and mandatory Tech Inspection
(You must arrive in time to have check in and pass tech inspection prior to 9 AM)
8:15 AM – 9:30 AM Course open for walking
9:15 AM Novice Meeting (mandatory if new to NTAXS events)
9:30 AM Drivers Meeting (mandatory for all)
9:45 AM First car out
(45-minute lunch break between morning and afternoon heats)
Car Classing is based on engine size:
- Class 1/1R is for engines under 2.3 liters, except Honda S2000 and Lotus
Elise/Exige.
- Class 2/2R is for engines over 2.2 liters, but under 4.0 liters, plus Honda S2000.
- Class 3/3R is for engines over 3.9 liters, plus Lotus Elise/Exige.
- Class S2000 is only for Honda S2000 on street tires.
Rotary engine multiplies displacement by 2.0. Usage of forced induction multiplies displacement by 1.5. (This is in addition to the rotary multiplier, if applicable.) Tires with a wear rating under 140 must use the R class.

BTW, there are a lot more S2000s signed up than Miatas, right now.
I'm in...at my favorite venue the bus lot!
I might make it. With it being easter weekend though I'm not 100 percent.

RED RULES!

PCA??? If you registered in Class 3 that's for engines over 3.9 liter. Don't forget your multiplier if you are running a blower or turbo.
Pretty sure they can fix you up the day of just let them know when you get there.Car Classing is based on engine size:

Looking at Weather Underground, we will have rain Friday night, but Saturday should be dry and low-70s, so it will be a beautiful day for an event.
Who care what the weather is like underground! What's going to do topside?
My Easter/family plans got all screwed up. I may sign up, but if I do, I will have to leave after the morning runs.
What's left of a '96 Miata with stock clutch.
My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.
looks like I may be back in on this one. Trip to the HC got canned due to work requirements at the moment. I always thought we got at least a 72 for easter weekend

I put a HushPower muffler on the car over the weekend, so you probably won't even know I'm there.
