Wow. I hope everyone likes Pennington this year. Wowzers.

+1 and I don't even have a big heavy V8 powered car!

BTW. Nice looking car!

What's the big issue with Pennington? I've run two events there and enjoyed it...

Pennington has its place like every other venue, but sometimes you get too much of it. While it's not small, it's too bad about the size, as every other aspect of it makes it a great venue.

Because you have only run two events there and you have never been anywhere else. If you grew up in Cleveland and never went anywhere else, then you would think that it's a great place, too.

Seriously! It's in a nice "middle" of the metromess location, good smooth surface (esp. considering Nationals this year), the bathrooms aren't a 1/4 mile away (like La Grave), trees for shade if you get in the McDonalds corner, food is close.

The only two issues I have with it is size (just a touch bigger would be good) and no beer at the end of the day (which would be extra nice in August).


Anyone else notice the ER/SCCA conflict?

And did you ever find out if Birdwell can have both sizes used?

Yes, you can use both sides.

I've been to Mineral Wells and La Grave....

[goofygrin]

He's saying you've only been to Pennington twice. If you do a full season with ER and SCCA you'll be at Pennington about 14 times.... Sometimes 2-3 times a month. And more if you do PCA & BMW CCA events.

[goofygrin]

Yes, you can use both sides.

So is the N. Texas Autocross Group Formerly Known as S2K AG going to have an event there (there being Birdwell)? I know you'd talked last year about making a bigger course by using the firelanes judiciously.

I'm surprised we've not heard any events scheduled at the Ballpark or the not-so-secret-we-hope-we-get-it location.

[ratt_finkel]

This will be my 6th season to autocross. Which means I've raced there a good 30 or so times. If not more. The lot is just too small. If we could do some type of crossover into the next lot then it would be awesome.

Also, based on what I've read. The grip at Lincoln is not tpyical of most concrete sites. Pennington included. For those that have been to the Arkansas events. Expect similar grip.

Fixed it. Those sites eat tires faster than a dingo eats a baby.

[goofygrin]

faster than the 'asphalt' @ MW?

[ken o]

Very close. Think what was once concrete but most of the sand is gone and rock are exposed. All built under a government contract for the Military.

Lowest Bidder win the contract??
