ER Challenge Cup Event #2, March 28th!
http://autocross.com/er/
Just around the corner we have ER #2 at lovely Mineral Wells! If you haven't run an ER event these guys put on a good show (no matter what Altiain says.). Plus if you opt for PAX you get 6 runs! Not just 3, but 6 runs! (ooohhh.... aahhh....
)
We can meet up at our normal McD's and caravan up to Mineral Wells!
So who's going!

I'm in "tire conservation mode" for the Tour (unless one of you fine gentlemen want to donate to the Team Cheap Bastard cause) so I won't be there.
Besides, I've still got all of the homework I put off over Spring Break to catch up on...

I'll be there, fighting for last place in CS. And I'm definitely up for meeting at McDonalds... but I'd prefer to meet at the McDonalds in Mineral Wells at about 7:30am. That gives you plenty of time to prep you car and walk the course... without missing the Driver's Meeting.

I can live with that, but if we have any new folks who have never been out to Mineral wells let me know and we can meet up in route, and head for the McD's in Mineral Wells!Originally Posted by Kestrel

I'll be there since I'm prepaid and all... Probably going to run TCS this time around. altiain, you are welcome to come out and cord the Azeniseseses...
I'm not sure I understand the difference between meetingt at McD's at exit 418 at 7:00 and McD's in M Wells at 7:30... I prefer the McD's at 418 by far, and you don't have to drive past the event to get there.
Thanks for the offer, tailchaser, but if I want to continue to do well this semester then I need to get nose deep in the books this weekend...

It's easy to be generous when you know your offer will be turned down...Thanks for the offer, tailchaser, but if I want to continue to do well this semester then I need to get nose deep in the books this weekend...
I don't care who ya are that's just funny!It's easy to be generous when you know your offer will be turned down...
It's just a matter of how long after eating you want to get to the site. Meeting at 418 at 7:00a (which is when they open) gets you to the site probably around 8:30a or so -- remember, once we finish meeting, greeting, and eating, you still have a 35 - 45 minute drive to get to the event.
Meeting at the McD's in Mineral Wells at 7:30am means you'd get to the site at about 8:15am, and it's only about 5 minutes drive from that McDs to the AirPark. In the end, it's about the same, but being closer to the site earlier in the day feels like it gives me a better chance to get there early enough.
And as for driving past the turn in for the AirPark, it's gotta be less than a mile up the road. Adds what... 2 miles to the total trip? I thought you were trying to cord some tires anyway. :P

Looks like we may have some visitors!
Getting in a little extra practice before the tour, I suppose... Wonder what kind of shocks Chris has... Hopefully the surface at the Wells will completely befuddle him.
I'll be there. I changed out the spark plugs and put in new NGK wires. It seems to run a little better. Can't wait to get the major tune up down! It is 52K already. I am sure the last owner is not as anal in maintaining the car.

What time can we honestly say the whole event would be wrapped up at? I know ER's website states 4 or 5 pm... but I have to be in downtown Dallas by 5pm. So is it more wishful thinking on my part?
That might be wishful thinking. However, you can certainly go, let the registration people know you need to leave early, and see if you can get your wokr and run assignments placed in the earlier heats - I assume ER is still running the old run/work format (which would allow this), but I don't know, since I haven't been out to any of their events this year.

Damn.
That's it... I'm setting up a slalom in the parking lot at work.
Gotta get my seat time somehow.
