    Default Equipe Rapide Challenge Cup #8 - October 2, 2016 - Burleson

    Hi Guys,

    Please join us for Equipe Rapide Challenge Cup #8 On October 2nd at Burleson High School. The site is nice concrete and we should have a 35-45 second course for your driving pleasure.
    Please be aware that there are houses and apartments close to the site. We restrict noise to 100dBa at 50 feet at this site. What does that mean to you? If you have a functioning muffler, even a Flowmaster 40, you should be OK. If you have a straight through fart pipe or a "race" muffler then you probably won't be OK. If in doubt then please don't try to get away with it. If you are too loud you will get sent home and DSQ. If you have a loud car (you know who you are, we know who you are) and have done nothing to quiet it down then we reserve the right to refuse entry. More information on registration can be found on our website at www.autocross.com

    We generally post it up on Tuesday night or Wednesday after the board of directors takes a good look at it. We evaluate it for "safety" but mostly we just try to disrespect it enough to make the course designer cry himself to sleep.

    Sweet. I'll tune in later. Might bring the Celica GTS in GS class this week. Maybe.

    At NTAXS, we shoot for rocking in a fetal position.

    Just a heads up: there's a marching band competition there the night before. High potential for a trashed lot when we arrive for setup

    The map certainly is interesting. At lots this size, loops are most certainly a necessary evil to have a course longer than 30 seconds. The launch interval looks like it's going to be rather large and that might extend the day a bit depending on the number of entrants.

    At least the weather looks awesome!!

    Passed out hookers and empty bags of blow, I'd imagine.
