The PCA Maverick Region is having their Autocross #6 on 9/14 at Birdville ISD Stadium in North Richland Hills. We got a bazillion runs at the last event at this venue. It's a smaller venue and kind of tight, but I think we'll have a fun course.
More info here.
Is this going to be your normal jrj512 course = Start, Slalom, gate, Slalom, turn, slalom (with turn), gate, slalom, gate, (optional - spin into the trailer), finish?? ::Drive2::
;)
Only if you're their. ::BaHump::Quote:

Since you seem to be stuck in a "lets add another slalom" rut lately. ::ConeDOWN

There is only one slalom on the course, but you go through it twice as part of the Pennington-style loop.Quote:

At this moment, the KRLD web site does not show any rain tomorrow, so I hope to see some of you out there.
There are now two Miatas.Quote:

Well, some things could only happen at a Porsche autocross. In this case, it was a brief event stoppage because there was money blowing across the course! The donation can for the women's shelter in Mineral Wells was blown over by the wind. All of the money was rounded up and all is well. ;)
Not a big turn-out, so we got 12 runs -- five in the AM and seven in the PM. My course was about 41 seconds for Miatas, so it was a decent size. Here is a video:

Now the cool part: ClayPerrine (who runs the show for the PCA AX events) said that although we cannot block the fire lane that separates the two lots, we can use cones to dissuade cars from using the lane, and perhaps also station a person there for a work assignment. Fire trucks do not have any problem running over cones. So, next season, we can try a course that uses both lots. With that surface, a nice lot(s) size, and the geographic location, it would be a great event.
It was a good event today. Everything went smoothly and a good time was had by all.
Always good to see you, Kestral.
Thanks for stopping by, Keifersmith.
Nice video. Is that from the windshield mount or the nose? I know we both had 41.6 sec runs... did you get any faster? I can't wait for the official results!
Wow, 12 runs was fantastic. Great event.
That video was from the windshield mount. The nose mount was just too low, so you it was hard to see much.
Results posted. Woo-hoo I finally squeaked past Jerrett! ::Banana::
I really enjoyed the event. Fun course, few cars (translating into more runs), and nice people. I'll definitely be back for more, but may not make another event this year.
I look forward to trying the venue on two lots next season.Quote:
