I've got a special request...

There a member from Canada who's going to be in town this weekend. His name is Mark Uhlmann, and he would like to compete in our event - but because he's flying in he's looking for a ride. Good friend of Terry Fair's, and an accomplished driver in many different cars. Anyone have a co-drive seat they can offer up? If you hop over to the TexasRegion FB page you can read the details and connect with him.

Or just get in touch with me and I can get you connected with Mark

Good times. Despite a few glitches while working 2nd heat (Thanks McShane!), had a good time. Course was fun. Nice seeing everyone again and meeting some new folks too.

Nice job SCCA gang. Thanks!

I will take some of the blame for the delays. Donated a new compressor and it was apparently tripping breakers. No good deed..
.. great course and terrific drive by JJ in STS.

My apologies to those of you that suffered thru the 1st & 2nd heats!!

Apparently our new air compressor was creating enough of a dirty electrical signal & power spikes thru the power system of the trailer to cause issues with the Timing system & the computer. We didn't realize this until the air compressor completely overloaded our 4500 watt generator & tripped ALL the overload circuit protectors. At that point we disconnected the compressor all together.

...All of the bizarre timing & computer issues stopped at that point. The 3rd & 4th heats ran perfectly on the timing/computer side of the event.

This was a "live & learn" situation and certainly something we can avoid in the future!

I think Jerrett gave us a fantastic course (again). And we ALL owe Gary Kramar a HUGE thanks for dealing with all the crazy computer/timing issues we had in the 1st two heats!!! He kept the ball rolling as well as anyone could have considering the issues we had to deal with!!

Really fun course. I had a great time. Things ran really smoothly after the compressor problem was rooted out.

I have been informed by multiple people that it was all my fault. In that case, "my bad."

You should part out that compressor!

Fun course/event, even with the problems.

I think I may have sold him some compressor parts from one of my flip compressors at some point...

I would never buy parts from Mike. I give him my throw aways and he says he helps 3rd world countries. He has a new venture parting out autocross items... Cones N Crap
