Who all is going? Divs are a lot of fun because you get the competition and format of a National Tour event, but without the National Tour BS. The Riverside Annex down in College Station is a great venue and they make some excellent long courses down there. Plus, the Houston SCCA gang always puts on a great event.
I am really looking forward to this.

Wow, it looks like they already have the course maps done! Looks like a couple of fun courses.

From Texas Region SCCA Chief of Tech, Bob Neff -
For those Texas Region folks who have our Annual Tech Certification, I've contacted the Houston Region folks and they've agreed to honor that annual tech for their divisional event this weekend.
Stephen Pounds is Chief of Tech for the event, and I've provided our normal Annual Tech signoff sheet to him (through the event chair, Clint Williams) so you should be able to find the tech folks, sign the sheet like at our regional events, and get your tech sticker.
I'll be around, so let me know if you encounter any issues in the process.
You're welcome ;)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On another note, the Houston bunch announced that the Annex Site will be open between 6pm to 8pm on Friday for trailer drop-off.
Awesome! Thanks Brad!
Word on the street is that you will be able to drop your trailer off at the site between 6 and 8 PM on Friday. Tech will still be at the event hotel.
Can we walk the course on Friday?Quote:

It's also HOT with only light and variable winds.
Day 2 on Sunday!
It is a very long and involving course. Even with a few Cone Seas, it is a blast. It is fast, too! Good times.
results?
You would have hated it, ken. Word is the STU boost buggies were crossing the finish line in 4th gear.

I took a very happy third in STS behind kcoughlin and Todd Milstead, both sharing Kerry's 2010 National Championship winning CRX. I am also excited about my 15th PAX spot.
Results
Pax
LostLorin took second in Tire, after being mired in sixth after day one.
Chris took CSP in a tight battle.
Looking forward to the Texas Region Div in two weeks.
Congrats Jerrett. 8/10ths out of ~190 is damn close.
Thinking about what I will face in two weeks, Pedroza laid down some scary fast times in Minehart's STR car!
Saturday was GREAT, but FREAKING HOTTTTT....... Todd and I drove well, the CRX is really fast. Starting on Saturday we started to have what we thought was overheating problems so on Sunday after our first runs we decided not to run the car anymore since I needed to get home.. Thanks to Jarrett for letting Todd take his final 2 runs on Sunday in his car and Robert Helms from Houston for letting me take 2 runs in his car as well.. Autox is fun but people like this who offer there cars up make it GREAT..
Engine Diagnosis: Robert Helms told me about an issue on the 88 CRX Temp Gauge that makes it short out and bounce all over.. When I hit South Houston it shot up to full hot, pulled over, no issue. Started driving and it went back to normal, 5min later the gauge shot all over the place again, I hit the top of the dash board a few times and went back to normal... SO I guess there was not overheating issue but I am glad we did error on the side of caution..
Where are the pics going to be posted?
Kerry
Jarrett you ran great, your raw time from Saturday and your fast time from Sunday!!! Good Job!!!! And your an OK corner worker!!
Amazing FAST courses!
Roger Johnson laid out courses that just plain wore you out by the end of your run.
It was Africa HOT too!
4 Runs on Saturday. 3 runs on Sunday so people could get out of the heat & on the road.
Round 2 in just two weeks!
Late fees go into effect on Monday July 26th!!
Congrats on the win in STX Brad! Watching the video from Day 1 I'm really asd I couldn't make it.
Big congrats to my buddy V for a solid win in B Stock in a car everyone else has written off as uncompetitive! Way to get it done!
Nice on the NSX. Is it really that fast?
It looked and sounded great on the course. We were surprised how well it worked.Quote:

Looks good Ken, GLWS!!!
What year NSX was it? Also it seems like it was a pretty high speed course, so if it was the 3.2+ motor I could definitely see it happening.
Results
The NSX was a 2000. I asked.
