***CANCELLED*** NTAXS Winter Autocross, 1/31/2015, Lone Star Park

[jrj512]

The North Texas Autocross Series (NTAXS) is hosting our annual Winter Autocross event on Saturday, January 31st, 2014 at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, TX.

The entry fee is $40 per person and you must pre-register at http://www.dlbracing.com starting Friday, January 16th. There is no on-site registration. The event is limited to 65 drivers, so sign up early. Please join us for a great day of racing and fun.

The event will be cancelled if either of the following occur:

- Less than 34 people have signed up by 9 AM CST on Thursday, January 29th.
- At 9 AM CST on Thursday, January 29th, the weather forecast for the event date calls for inclement conditions. In general, we will be looking for less than a 30% chance of rain and a high temperature greater than 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Event cancellation will result in refunding each participant's money. Otherwise, standard cancellation rules apply.

You get eight runs at NTAXS events, so you will make four runs in the AM session and four runs in the PM session.

8:00 AM – 9:00 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)
8:00 AM – 9:15 AM Course open for walking
9:00 AM Novice Meeting (mandatory if new to NTAXS events)
9:15 AM Drivers Meeting (mandatory for all)
9:30 AM First car out
(One hour 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.
- Class X/XR is an open class for any engine displacement and induction.

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.

Because of logistics issues with the Lone Star Park layout and managing gravel build-up, we will not be running a different course in the PM as we have with previous Winter Autocrosses. This event will function like normal events and use the same course for AM and PM runs. Finishing order will be determined by your quickest time from all eight runs.

Well, hopefully it's warmer for this event then the frozen tundra you now call home.

Really hoping to debut the Datsun at this one. Mainly just need to put an exhaust on and tune the carbs.

On that note, is sound at Lone Star an issue? I might be pushing the threshold a tad... my finely tuned ear tells me I get to 101db.

[OZMDD]

I'm pretty sure it tops out at 99dB, Kevin. :) I think you'll be ok. Looking forward to seeing it run.

I thought you were supposed to lose weight before a race not gain it? Is that why ken o is so fast? He looks like he has lots of carbs? :)

Yes, just send me your entry fees for the year - cash please - and I'll get you all fixed up. There is a small (25%) surcharge for this service.

We are considering it for the regular season events.
