ER Challenge Cup Event #1 (2-27-2005)

[POS Racing]

So who is going to Mineral Wells to Run the first ER Event of the Season!

More information on the event is availble on the ER Website!

[tailchaser]

As long as nobody keeps me out partying too long on Saturday, I'll be there with bells on. The "new" rear sway is in and has tamed my steady state understeer. As long as I remember to stiffen the shocks, there isn't any real oversteer, but I can flick the rear out if need be with a little extra gas. Yay!!!

[Ataim]

I know that I will be out this weekend. Monkey has to check with the BOSS She may also run, not sure yet.

I think that white is finally ready

Where and what time do we meet for MW. McDonalds or other?

[tailchaser]

I-20, exit 418, McDonald's is on the south side of the Interstate. It doesn't open until 7:00, but onething and I will almost certainly manage to get there at 6:55, no matter how hard we try to get there at 7:05...

If you get there early, there's air (cheap, not free) across the street at the gas station.

What he said.............

[altiain]

I'll be out there for sure. Dunno whether I'll make McDonalds yet or not.

[Ataim]

I would be going backwards to go to that McDonalds. I may or may not be able to go for food.

[rjosey8385]

I'll be at the event but not at McDonalds...I'm on a diet - gotta lighten up the car's weight some (apparently my really nifty automatic roof weighs too much) - not to mention the fact that that McDonald's IS somewhat out of the way.

How do you figure? We drove right past it when I had your back door...

Oh, NOW I remember OK. Well if I get there early enough, I may stop in and watch you guys eat....

If all goes well, and I can get away from TMS early enough, Wayne Atkins and I will be there Saturday evening/night and try to do some testing with his Honda before anyone puts a course down...We spent the last three weeks or so putting all new bushings in the suspension, hubs and bearings, shifter kit with bushings, among other stuff to try to get back the half second penalty the new PAX brought us...

All C Stockers in favor of the new STS PAX raise your hands!

Hopefully the majority of the money positions won't be STS cars this year. :P

Yeah, but just in case, hang onto that handy excuse generator....I'm sure somebody'll be needing it after this weekend. :P

Just a reminder ER moved up the time schedule 30 minutes for this year. Registration "should" start at 8:00 instead of 8:30.

How many runs do you generally get at their events

[rjosey8385]

How many runs do you generally get at their events

You always get 4 runs (that's for the non-member fee of $25.00) and then you have the option of buying 2 more runs at the end of your regular 4 (and this enters you into the money for Pax, which pays out to 10th place in open class and usually 3rd place in womens) for an additional $10.00.

[general default]

The PAX payout was increased this year also.
