    Great, finally a course without a 1000 slaloms and I can't make it.
    M3 is always the answer.

    Just a reminder...

    Sunday morning at 2am is Daylight Savings!

    That means we all lose 1 hour sleep and what should be 7:30 start for Tech & Registration is in reality going to be 6:30 start time for your body clock!

    Set your clocks ahead & please don't be late for the event!

    Man, what a great course. I was certain it would be hard for the novices to follow, but it seemed to be universally admired. It was plenty fast, and rewarded good car placement. Awesome to see so many people at event #1, and so many new cars/drivers joining the madness. The autox school really worked: this was the easiest day I've had as Novice Chief, since everyone knew what to do! Kudos to TX Region SCCA!

    I agree with that hard to follow for the novices comment...but yeah most figured it out.

    So...when can we start implementing a .975 handicap for street tires? :)

    The course today was WAY easier to follow and learn than the 2 school courses for me and my buddy. We had a track map, more guide cones, the chalk lines, etc.

    One thing I'd add to the school are handout maps for the courses.

    Second on this!

    It wouldn't affect competition within tire class, it would just give us a better idea of where we might stack up in pax if we run RT classes at national events.
