You are not the only one, and they are working on the problem. It seems they wanted to filter certain drivers ::Whisp:: JimmyJan, GoldChainSam, and The Neighborhood Meanie, but others were caught in the filter too.

I don't date bitches. There more of a one time thing, and I'm looking to make this racing more of a long term commitment, so I'll pass. Yall have fun at breakfast.

Can I bring the CJ? I guarantee I can run the slowest time ever on any AX course. .9 MPH at idle in low gear. ::Banana:::burnrubr:

I was just joking around. I've been on forums for way too long. Thanks for the info though.

NEWBIE ALERT

I have never attended any SCCA event before. Can I sign up and get my membership at the day of the event?

I don't think I can pay the member price online without having a membership number in hand.

You should be able to register online even if you're not an SCCA member. (It will be $40 vs. $25)

Membership is not to the local region, it is national membership. It has to be done online or mailed in.

When you sign up for an event, they charge you for a temporary membership that can be applied to your full-time membership.

IIRC you can apply two weekend memberships ($30) to your national dues.

Well guess they got it figured out.

Spent some time trying to register and pay tonight but it still will not let me register online....... :rolleyes:

OK So I contacted an employee of the Tarrant County IT department that was sitting on the other end of my couch and she was able to get me registered...... Thanks ::Curls::

It's nice to know in these uncertain times that some things are eternal, like Axware's suckage. :wink:

Ooh...I like that run/work order. I'm assuming the Novice pax just runs with their class, only with the modifier added in scoring?
Also...since TR SCCA doesn't have a "novice" points winner like ER, should I run with a Tire pax instead?

Note to self: if Novice is an option, choose it. Now I'm wearing my ass for a hat after trying Street Tire. Not that they are bad cars anyway, but it was humbling to see a Cooper S run almost 3 seconds faster BEFORE they calculate its more-favorable pax. I would most likely have been top-5 of 25+ cars in Novice. Oh well, now I know.

Wow, the event ran very smooth! Good job!

Now I just need to get faster! We lowered the car an inch after our runs, so we shall see what happens next weekend.

And what did that do to the camber and toe numbers?
Did you check them yet?

The event ran smoothly and was even better after the sun came out! The Z06 was fun and I have much to learn. ::Drive1::

Nice to see everyone after the long offseason and looking forward to the next one (and warmer weather).

The car is going to get an alignment this week. We just wanted to get it done while we were there. The car felt very good today, but I feel like my driving let me down. A spin on my second run really hurt me. I didn't really run as hard as I should have for the last 2 runs.

I'm looking forward to a tweeked alignment next week and new, wider Toyos in 2 weeks. We're still working on the car setup and our comfort level with the new car. We just hope we can catch up with Neal by the end of the year!

I thought a toe joke was possible.
Never mind about the toe settings.

Great seeing everyone again. The event went smoothly with the number of entries.
Although I am not a big fan of getting my first run at 230pm, I am glad out autocrossing again. After the long off season, I have to relearn how to drive.....

Looking forward to next sat!

you guys need to re-corner weight and re-align at the same time, otherwise you will be chasing unknowns

if you don't have the ability to do that, I know someone who will do it for you for some bucks, but not bad

and no one is counting you out of the hunt

did you see Dixie Tour results? interesting those who won last year won this year on the same brand

I've emailed several guys asking pressure info and insights

Miata's in GS? Sorry, I haven't been paying attention... I didn't know there were any Miata's in GS. How many classes can these amazing Mazda's run in? :D

A Porsche 356 in HS? Cooooolllll...
