Thanks to everyone who made it out. Per the clubs chapter president we will be back at least once next year if not twice and as part of the regular auto-cross season.
Thanks again.

So, what would people think about a 2011 Texas Region Divisional in Paris, TX??
I'm thinking I'd stay home. ;-)Quote:

I have not run at Paris yet, but it looks like a good site. The drive would be OK for me coming from McKinney. Lone Star Park would be a lot closer for the people coming from the south. I would be fine with a Div in Paris, but I think Lone Star Park may be a better location for more people.
No matter where you pick someone will not like the choice, Penn too small, Mineral Wells too hard on tires, Bus Lot no grip, Lone Star Park it's not flat and it's a long walk to the bath rooms.
The shakes are a killer. I couldn't watch it. Looks like good surface tho.Quote:

I'm excited about the site, but I'd be inclined to wait and see how it works-out before I commit to a divisional. Then again, it does seem like a great place for one, and the hotels are cheap out there. The fact that the town is so motivated about hosting is a real plus. You could certainly do worse.
Fort Worthians have been spoiled for the last decade or so, as all of the DFW area autocross venues have been within 45 minutes of Fort Worth.. Undoubtedly, Fort Worth/Mansfield/Burleson/Arlington drivers that feel that driving more than an hour is too far, will decide they can't make it... however there are just as many (if not more!) drivers in the McKinney/Allen/Frisco/Plano area that have NOT been coming to events east of the mid cities area in the past to make up the difference.Quote:
