The event is limited to 65 drivers.

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

8 AM – 9 AM Check-in, Registration, and mandatory Tech Inspection
(You must arrive in time to check in and pass tech inspection prior to 9 AM)

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

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.

Assuming that the event will exceed 49 entries, we will have four sweeper positions available for work assignments. The assignment will require that you work from 7:00 AM to 8:30 AM, and then again for 30 minutes during the lunch break. This will cover your work assignments for the event. Workers can use the NATXS brooms or bring their own gas-powered blowers.

Please contact me at jrj512 at dfwmx5 dot com if you are interested in this assignment.

I took a list of names at the Winter Event for people interested in "skill positions." If you have not received an email from me yet, please PM me. If anyone else is trained on things like timing, starter, grid, etc. or is interested in becoming trained for those jobs, PM me.

I want to go, looking for a codrive for this event. I blew my CV joint at TTT on Sat and will probably be too busy with tests (and waiting on shipping) to get it replaced before the event.

[slowchildmiata]

That will buff right out.

Forecast is low-70s and partly sunny. It should be a nice day!

I'm in.

Since it is hard to get to the lot that we are using on Saturday, I wanted to post the directions from the course map. Note that you will actually drive past the lot and then double-back.

From Beltline Rd, enter at most southern entry (Gates 3/4/5, Lone Star Parkway) and continue to Gate 5/Pollock Pl. Take a left on Pollock. Take a left on the next street (not parking lot entrance), go to the end, and take a right into the lot.

Another autocross group will be using an adjacent lot. They will have a large white trailer that says SCCA. This is not our group. Give them the bird on your way by.

Also, make sure you stop by to ask for a funnel cake.

Funnel Cake machine is broken.

But we got the donut machine fixed!!

[sammm]

Note to self...donut first, flip the bird second.

[OZMDD]

Flip a donut to a bird??

Someone got a new helmet for the event...

[jbh]

You could probably tell her its generally not necessary to wear it on the couch unless you are having a pinata party indoors.

Car is not ready.
