In. Woooo Dust Lot.

[ratt_finkel]

Anyone going to powerwash that section before we run or should I bring my rally tires?

[Robert]

With any luck the S2K event Saturday will get rid of a lot of the dust.

I plan to install several push brooms on my front air dam.

I think the friction would overwhelm your motor. :)

On a somewhat related note...

The UK based TV show 'Mobil 1 The Grid' film crew might be at TX Region Solo Event #9 in Cradall, TX on Sunday, November 4th. The Show's producer has contacted me & asked to come out to our autocross event since they will be in town to do another segment for the show.

This is the same TV show that did a segment on the 2011 SCCA Spring Nationals in Nebraska & was shown on the Speed Channel.

There was no significant dust at the BMW event last Saturday.

Evil KK and are are in!

Online registration FTW!!

REMEMBER - because you registered online you don't need to wait in the registration line at the trailer. Just sign the waiver when you arrive, check off your name on the registration list (it will be hanging on the side of the trailer) and get your car tech'd. That's it!

The weather looks beautiful for Sunday's event! Partly sunny & 83 for a high!!

Online Registration closes tonight at 11:59pm. Register online & beat the line at the site!!

Walk-ups are allowed for this event but get there early! We typically get anywhere from 25 to 30 walk-up registrations & it takes a while to get thru the onsite registration process.

A BIG thanks to everyone that attended SCCA's event today!!

Awesome people & close competition all day long! Your entry numbers today tells TX Region that you would like to continue to have at least a few events per year at TMS.

We'll see you Novemeber 4th at Dallas Raceway in Crandall.

Thanks again!!

Thanks again!!

No, it's because there was no other option. I'd pay double just to run at Crandall over TMS.

P.S. Good event either way! You and Jen do a great job!
