**ken o** · 08-03-2009, 09:20 PM

No clue on the course. Never heard back.

**CosmosMpower** · 08-04-2009, 08:31 AM

Should be there, might drive there on the crusty 110 run hoosiers again

Just a reminder since I started the thread so early.

Don't forget to pre-register.

**ken o** · 08-10-2009, 08:43 AM

That is typical for BMW events. Many people wait until the last minute, including the event officials.

Just heard from Mark. They will be using my course this Saturday. Woot!

So there will be a slalom followed by a cone wall made of $100 bills? SWEET! I'm going to try and run into that one and grab as many as I can.

Actually, it will just be one cone per car. If you hit a cone, you have to by another car before your next run.

So you are ok with the new entry fee?

**CobaltFire** · 08-10-2009, 04:47 PM

Ok, I signed up to embarrass myself. New car, never done an Auto-X before, have M+S tires on the car.

Should be fun!

Yes, it should. We enjoy laughing and pointing.

Really, though, try to hook up for some rides and get some instruction. Myself and Miatamoto will be in my car (see avatar), so feel free to jump in for a ride (if not already spoken for) or ask us to jump in with you.

**CobaltFire** · 08-10-2009, 04:54 PM

I really do appreciate the offer! I'll certainly take you up on it! I've been looking forward to doing this for years, but never got around to it.

I would love to go to both events this weekend, but I think the one will toast the tires I have, and probably myself as well!

Well, what's another $40...

I just hope if I go I don't blow out my tires! I don't think M+S will hold up all that well, nor do I have ANY idea why the original owner put M+S tires on a Miata in Texas...

The bus lot is super easy on tires. They will be smooth and shiney when the day is done.

Good to know!

Does the SCCA meet usually allow on-site sign-up? The website says they do, but that it may be limited.

Yeah, shouldn't be a problem.
