    The photobucket link doesn't work, is it the course map? Can we do a more wide open road course style event?

    Well I will be touring the University of Cincinnati Law School on Friday, but hopefully I will be able to make it back for this. It looks like a great course.

    I think I might actually make it out to this one. I will hopefully be making at least one of the autocrosses that weekend, but most likely it will be this one. Looks like a really fun course, and MW is a great venue as always.

    Anyone know how long this event is scheduled to go? I just found out I have a birthday party to go to that day late afternoon, wondering if I can make them both...

    BMW events tend to run into the mid-afternoon due to the lunch break. PM KenO; he might let you run the morning-only if you take care of your work assignment and leave at lunchtime.

    We had a guy at an NTAXS event only run the AM session and then get married in the afternoon. My wedding gift to him was not making him work. I'm such a giver.

    Some people play golf with buddies the morning of, some people autocross. It's all good.

    Played golf with my friend on his wedding day. Bad idea. 7 of us in one big group and we were all over the damn place.

    They're booked for the next 2 weeks?

    I'll be there.

    My only concern is it looks like the slalom coming in to turn 5 is located right where the huge bump in the surface is (By bump I mean we catch air on it when running P3). Still, looks like a blast, hopefully my even bigger wing will be on by then.

    Thats because your car does not weigh anything.

    Actually you should be going a lot slower than P3 at that point, at P3 you are probably going 80-90mph, but with this course much slower.

    Looks like a fun course utilizing most of the entire pad.

    You make a good point sir, do you not catch air on P3? Then again i'm sure mine is a combination of light weight + stiff springs + 2 year old k-sports.
