NTAXS Autocross #6, 11/22/2009, Pennington Field - This one's for Dennis!

The North Texas Autocross Series (NTAXS), presented by the North Texas S2000 Owners Club (NTS2KOC), is hosting our sixth and final autocross of the season on Sunday, November 22, 2009 at Pennington Field.

We are dedicating this event to Dennis Rothermich of http://www.autocrosspictures.net/. For those that do not know, Dennis has been battling cancer and he does not have adequate insurance coverage. You might have seen Dennis at various autocross events taking pictures so he can post them for everyone to download on http://www.autocrosspictures.net/. He never charged for the pictures and few of us have ever paid for them, making his work and the site a labor of love for the sport and a gift to us.

When you sign up for this event, you will be given the opportunity to pay additional money as a donation to Dennis. We will also be accepting donations at the event. The North Texas Autocross Series/North Texas S2000 Owners Club will donate all additional income from the event (after covering our event costs) to Dennis. If we can fill the event with all 60 available spots, then we will be able to provide about $1000 to Dennis, plus whatever extra money you donate. We will be opening registration early for this event, on 10/30, in order to provide the most opportunity for generating donations for Dennis.

If anyone cannot make the event, but still wants to donate, let me know and we will work something out.

I'm in! Don't forget to donate to Dennis when you register! ::Good::

Any chance we can set-up some kind of car club challenge on raising funds for this? Maybe the club/group/class that beings in the most $$/car wins free entries for a future event?

I'll put the Yarii guys up to it if you Miaturds are game. :)

The course...

I plan to be at this one in my beater!

I'll drag jon out for this one.

I'm in. Hope I can remember which way to go and how many laps on that course. You are a brave man jrj512. Looks like a fun course if I don't get to lost.

How many events do you have to run to win a series trophy? :1Place:

Not sure if we'll have actual trophies this season, but...

"Awards will be presented to competitors who have attended at least 50% (rounded up) events in the same class."

Come on now. The BMW club gives a nice year end award. :D
You going to let the BMW Club out do the S2000 club.

Actually the rules state. "The club will award points during each of the autocross events with a final championship trophy being awarded at the end of the season."...
