    Talking

    SCCA E-Mail below!
    Just a reminder to you guys that the annual Texas Region Solo TMS Infield Road Course event is next Sunday, Sept 27.
    New rule this year that requires everyone to have run at least 3 events with any club that uses the SCCA rules base.
    This is to resolve a safety issue that we had regarding the corner workers.
    The course last year was awesome! And this will be no exception!

    Woot! Just changed my registration to get some seat time in the Z06 before Blytheville. This should be interesting!

    Just daily drive them this week. That will clean off the mold release.

    It looks like you'll be driving around a lot on Saturday night, then.

    Just find an empty lot with an abrasive surface and safely perform some agressive figure-eights.

    I heard that both Plano and McKinney Police Departments let you warm up your tires in their parking lots, so maybe I'll give that a shot.

    Noob Question here: Can anyone give more info about what the TMS "road course" will be like, in relation to all the other autoX events? Is this an autoX on the infield, or is this more of a time-trial event? How will the driving differ? Thanks!

    The road course event is similar to other autocrosses, except the road course layout doesn't leave as much lattitude for course designers to do a lot of variation in the course year to year.

    You'll still do four runs, and only one at a time just like a regular event.

    The mystique of the road course always draws a good crowd, so you'll have a lot more and varied competition as well as a bunch of seasoned drivers from out of town. It really is a great time - I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

    Again - make sure you register online by this Friday. We WILL NOT BE accepting walk ups.
