NTAXS autocross #4, 9/19/2009, TMS Bus Lot
The North Texas Autocross Series (NTAXS), sponsored by the North Texas S2000 Owners Club (NTS2KOC), is hosting our fourth autocross of the season on Saturday, September 19, 2009 at the Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) Bus Lot. Go west on Hwy 114 from I-35W and take the second entrance into TMS. The entry fee is $30 per person and you must pre-register at http://www.dlbracing.com starting Friday, September 4th. 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. In order to preserve consistency, we cannot allow special concessions for those who prefer an SCCA-style routine.
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.

I like the shade
Anybody want to be my safety steward backup? I need someone NOT running in the same session as stock Miata.
Really wanted to make this event but I'll be at Hallett.

On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

I'll be in 2R for this one, unless I find an event to burn the R888s up at before this date.

what size does the gay car run?
Currently 255/40-17, but I've got some 275/40-17 Kumho XS sitting in the garage that I'd like to try.

I'm signed up.
I see a lot of "In for the bus lot" statements, but only 5 people total signed up currently? Three of which are S2000's? What gives?

Autocrossers always apex late.
I thought registration didn't open until this Friday? Looking at the website I can view the entry list, but I'm not given an option to register.
