TX Region SCCA Autocross #1 - Sunday, March 16, 2014 - Pennington Field

[jrj512]

Since you're 'new', stock and have no R-compound race tires, you should probably sign up for NCS (Novice C-street).

STR cars are modified. (Bigger wheels/tires, shorter springs, ECU flashed, blah, blah, blah)

Fixed that. Try to keep up with the lingo, Sammmy.

Thanks! This is exactly what I needed to know.

Where is grid going to be?

Where is grid going to be?

It's a surprise.

[OZMDD]

Definitely Novice C Street or just C Street. You'll get massacred in STR; its one of the fastest classes out there.

What is the best exit to take off of 183 traveling westboud to get to Pennington Field?

"STR cars are modified. (Bigger wheels/tires, shorter springs, ECU flashed, blah, blah, blah)"
ECU flashed? Need to look into this maybe?

Ready for more STR action!

Hit up OZMDD...he's been down that road.

Just find the one for Central. But beware...its about a half mile before the actual street. Just watch for the signs.

[jrj512]

Going west in 183, it goes something like this:

Sign for Murphy exit in 1/2 mile.
Sign for Central exit in 1/2 mile.
Sign for Murphy exit in 1/4 mile.
Murphy Exit. <----- easy to take by accident for Central.
Central Exit about 1/8 mile after Murphy exit.

All of the signs are postcard size.

[sammm]

^Bail out early...like on 121! Take Harwood west, and come south on Central.

[altiain]

Is 183 that fucked up right now? Can you still exit Euless West Parkway off of 121 south?

[jrj512]

It really is not that hard. Just watch for the small signs and don't take the Murphy exit by accident.

[OZMDD]

Sammmmmmmm is right, exit much earlier than you'd anticipate. I may just avoid 183 and come from the south up central.

[revs]

Hope there isn't a football game that day like the PCA event. I checked a couple of days ago and there were only 100 entrants. I check today and there is 141. Plenty of corner workers. I plan on getting there early so I have a parking spot.

[CosmosMpower]

There are some crazy manhole covers sticking out on the service road before you get to Central. Some really low cars could lose an oil pan if you run one over square, beware.

[ewaygood]

As of right now there are 143 entrants. How many runs do y'all think everyone will get? I assume the more entrants there are the fewer runs everyone will get not the more entrants there are the longer the event goes.

[POS Racing]

I'd guess no less that 4 and no more than 6 runs. Of course I could be wrong!

YMMV

Cant find where to change my class I think I registered STS :S... I assume I can do that at the event right?
