Texas Region Event #7 Sunday, September 26, 2004

[POS Racing]

Here is a link for more information about the event! http://autocross.com/texasregion/

This event is on the bus lot at Texas Motor Speedway not at Pennington Field! Holly smokes a change of Venue, which should be fun!

Don’t forget to pre register for the event at DLBRacing.com to help the folks out at SCCA and hopefully cut down your time in line at the start of the event! As of today (9/6/04) there are already 83 Entrants!

[POS Racing]

Today they have 110 Entrants!

So who all is going??

[tailchaser]

Looks more like 180 to me...

[altiain]

I'll be there. Looks like lugnutjon will be co-driving the ol' #75, since he still hasn't bought any replacement tires. I told him I'd help him out this month, but he's on his own after this.

[Kestrel]

I'm in. Looks like POS has someone else to play with in ES... a Fiero

[sammm]

I'm out. Gotta work. Y'all have fun and go real fast!!! :P

The ES drivers better get ready for a woop'n. That Fiero is driven by a good driver who is also a former ER VP. So he knows the trade very well. Now don't laugh at his 5 year old BFG's. Great to see him come back out. He got married 6 years ago and well I guess that explains things...

[Mark52]

I'm in. Hope I remember how to drive, it's been like a month since the last race(for me at least). I remember that black Fiero, he use to run circles around everyone else.

[tailchaser]

Aaaargh! I won't get to see the Fiero! Someone gonna take pictures?

[POS Racing]

Don't forget to register for this event if you haven't already!

I just got the following note!

unregister yourself(online) or send me an email saying

Thanks

"...Now don't laugh at his 5 year old BFG's..."

General, are you telling us that this guy on 5 year old BF Goodrich Tires is still going to be a threat? He must be good! I can't wait to see him run... and I'm glad he's in ES.

Well I don't know how BFG's do on the Bus lot. Guess they quit making them before we ever ran there. But old BFG's heated up at MW can be competitive. They were a good tire. Not saying John can clean house in ES. But he use to own ES. Heck he would give the 1.8 Miata drivers a run back when they were in the same class. But it is great to see him come back out again.

I'm also in with my 97 black, also I'll have a couple of my employees racing the "new" white ghost for me. Its a 91 that so far has the interior stripped down to near nothing. it May become a spec in the future, or just a track car with an uber

[onething]

1. Ain't skeered of no Fiero - as long as he isn't in running street tires

2. According to the TC weather forecast, I'll be needing more clothes than at the last few AXes

3. I can't wait

[rx7gslse]

I want to go play, but I've gotta go back to KS for the weekend, so I'm out...

And It's right down the street from my hosue too! ARGH!

[altiain]

Well, looks like lugnutjon won't be co-driving my car after all. His new set of Hoosiers showed up yesterday.

[POS Racing]

Race tires are on the car & the trailer is ready!

See you Ft. Worth side of town kids at the golden arches supper club at 7!

[tailchaser]

Y'all be sure and wave as I fly over...

[POS Racing]

How long did that first heat go yesterday? I worked 2nd heat and wasn't called up until around 12:00?? I also got to watch the kids’ carts run while I was working I thought they were running first heat?

The day all in all was fair, but 3 runs suck!

[altiain]

Personally, I thought the whole event sucked. I didn't drive worth a crap, the car was pushing on corner entry, and I got beat by everbody. Heck, I damn near got beat by POS, even though I've got like 40whp on him. :P

The Bus Lot has not been kind to me this year.

Getting only three runs was just the icing on the cake. SCCA needs to get their collective sh!t together. There was also some seriously sloppy corner working going on. Lugnutjon and I watched part of Heat 2 from the fence line, and we saw five cars get redflagged because of one car that got lost and took out two cones in Corner 5. The workers on that corner were moving so slow that literally the last car to be flagged left the starting line well after the initial cones were hit. And the corner wasn't completely staffed by newbies, either - I saw Erik Kohler, current FSAE National Champ, standing there.
