[jrj512]

The North Texas Autocross Series (NTAXS), presented by the North Texas S2000 Owners Club (NTS2KOC), is hosting our annual Winter Autocross event on Saturday, January 26th, 2013 at Dallas Raceway in Crandall, TX.

The entry fee is $30 per person and you must pre-register at http://www.dlbracing.com starting Friday, January 11th. There is no on-site registration. The event is limited to 65 drivers, so sign up early. Please join us for a great day of racing and fun.

The event will be cancelled if any of the following occur:

- Less than 34 people have signed up by 9 AM CST on Thursday, January 24th.
- At 9 AM CST on Thursday, January 24th, the weather forecast for the event date calls for inclement conditions. In general, we will be looking for less than a 30% chance of rain and a high temperature greater than 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Event cancellation will result in refunding each participant's money. Otherwise, standard cancellation rules apply.

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

8:00 AM – 9:00 AM Check-in, Registration, and mandatory Tech Inspection
(You must arrive in time to have 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)

(Lunch and course-walk break between morning and afternoon heats totaling approximately one hour.)

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.

For Winter Autocrosses, we use different courses for the AM and PM runs. The courses will be changed during the lunch break and participants will be told at the commencement of the lunch break when the course will be reopened for walking. We will also announce when the course will be closed for walking in order for us to begin the second half of the event. The course will be open to walk for at least 30 minutes. Your event performance will be based on a sum of your best time from the morning runs and your best time from the afternoon runs.

Will miss this one cause I'll be in Daytona. Is there a reschedule date if the weather is bad?

[jrj512]

No reschedule. Too hard to find a good date and get good weather. 1/26 or nothing.

I think he'd be happy if the oil drain plug would just stay in place.

What about the oil filter? Will this event have extra fire extinguishers?

[OZMDD]

just search "gay rainbow car" and any thread that involves a broken turbo miata.

[blackzx3_13]

IN!!! See you guys there

I had the oil plug fall out at the end of 3rd run at an event. Didn't drip a drop before that.... 500+ miles driving around after the oil change before... Where I caught that the boss that the oil filter screws into was backing out (which has killed some other peoples' motors).

Then I rebuilt the engine since I had been running it with bent rods for ~2 years.... First lap out at track injector decided to stop and destroyed that cylinder and debris took out the rest. Now I'm on a new motor and they know I'm paranoid.
