SCCA Solo Event #9 @ Lone Star Park - 11/7/2010
It's the last SCCA autocross of the season folks, so get your autocross fix while you can.
More info at http://www.autocross.com/tr.
Here is the course map. Please note the instructions on the bottom left for getting to the correct lot. You will be lost of you do not have them.

Did Robert design this course??
Also happening at this event - the Ditch the Spare Tire Contest is back for the 2010-2011 off season. In case you don't know what that is, or have forgotten:
In case you missed it in 2010, DtST is a contest like the popular TV show ‘Biggest Loser’ except we won’t send you to camp to lose the weight and you won't get to be on TV. Oh yeah, and you won't have a personal trainer, cook or nutritionist on retainer either. You're smart - you can do all that stuff yourself. So it's just like the show in concept if not precise execution.
Contestants will weigh in with the official DtST scale at the November 7th event at Lone Star Park. Lose as much weight as you can during the off-season. We’ll have a final weigh in at the first event in 2010 to determine the winners.
In addition to being healthier and lighter (read faster!), we’ll award free entries for 2011 events accordingly:
2 Grand Prizes - Free Entry into ALL 2011 regular season events
- Largest percentage weight loss
- Largest total weight loss (most lbs)
1 Free Entry into any 5 2011 events
- 2nd Largest percentage weight loss
1 Free Entry into any 2 2011 events
- 3rd Largest percentage weight loss
Think of the percentage weight loss like a human PAX index – start with a more capable machine and it’s a little more difficult to stay on top!
Rules:
• Entry is free and open to anyone who wants to participate
• There must be at least 8 contestants signed up at the November event for us to kick off the contest with 4 awards. If there are less than 8 contestants there will only be 2 awards – 1st and 2nd place for largest percentage weight loss.
• You can’t win 2 awards - If the winner of the largest percentage loss also has the largest total loss we’ll move to the next person on the list, etc.
• Anyone caught lining their pockets with wheel weights, rocks or other items of great mass at the November weigh-in will have to do the final weigh-in naked. At the drivers meeting.
Sign up by showing up at the event

A Z06 is just like a Miata, but with the other half of the motor . . .
too bad there's not a dtst contest during the year...
Some of us worked hard over the summer :)
And some of us who won last year (with a near 30 pound loss) have gained weight throughout the summer.
In fact, I've gained much of my weight backand I'm now in perfect shape to start a new DtST.
Next year during the season we need to have a "Keep the spare tire off" contest. We could see who gains the least amount of weight.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

Hah! I've been working hard all year, but I still plan to enter again this year. I've got another 15 pounds to go to get to my final goal weight (down 30 from last year though!)Originally Posted by goofygrin

ha!
I'm down 30 since May. My doctor told me in May "let's try for 200." Two weeks ago he said "good work, now shoot for 185." I was 185 from 6th to 12th grade. It's gonna be tough!
Good job Sean! That's awesome.
I dropped most of the weight before Colin was born at the end of april. It's been hard to find time to run since then, but I'm finally working back up to 15 miles a week. I'm about 185 now, shooting for 165-170 (I was 172 when I went to flight school at age 19).

End of DST
Don't forget time change is this Sunday. Fall back 1 hour.
Dude, you get to sleep in an extra hour. This is a GOOD thing!

Actually, it was more of a political rant that I should not have brought into this thread. I am against the whole DST thing to begin with, but if anyone wants to discuss it, then I guess we could over the politics area. Not really worth it, though.
Don't forget to paddock facing north/south so you are not going uphill or downhill. This will help those that are changing tires.
Also, don't forget to note the directions at the bottom of the map. We'll know if you don't because we will watch you go up and down the street trying to figure out how to get to the lot.
Someone please don't forget to have porto-johns.
Get your walking shoes on.
Steve, are you sponsoring Porta Johns??
Just need a check for $475 before the end of business day!
I usually pee in an open Miata.
M3 is always the answer.

I'm still boycotting this contest since they wouldn't take the note from my doctor saying I needed to gain weight two years ago. Nobody else had one.
