I'll be there!

Does anyone have an open truck bed? I need some help getting something to the event.

In! The course looks Slalom-tastic!

Stoopid autocross. In.

I will be there to stick my toe into the Texas Autocross scene for the first time. If anyone is willing to let a stranger bum a ride I would be appreciative. I have my Z06 but still no race wheels/tires and I hate to mangle the street tires. If not, its cool.

I'm pretty sure you won't mangle anything on the bus lot surface. ;)

Anyone want a co-driver? I'd love to make it, but I may not have the S2k.

The bus lot is incredibly easy on tires. You won't even be able to tell that you've run there, other than it will polish your tread. :)

Online registration closes tonight at 11:59pm! Onsite registration is allowed but cost an additional $5.

Reminder: If you do online registration, please stop by the trailer Sunday morning before 8:30am & check your name off the Pre-Reg list.

Wanna pilot the MSM? I'd pay good Yen to see you put a whoopin on E-Street. :D

I would if i could, but leadfootjon is codriving with me this weekend.

Ryan, I would also but I'm driving another car.

I'm gonna drive Jim's car, time for me to try something different :drive:.

Get on the gas early, way early.

I will have Sammm in my car. Otherwise, it would have been fun to do a head-to-head comparison.

That last sentence probably sounded kinkier than it should coming from me.

I lol'd :clap:


Looks like I might be in the S2k after all, as long as I can get it ready Saturday night. MW a few weekends ago really took its toll on the stook, it needs a bit of work. STR looks like it's pretty stacked, can't wait for some close competition.

Thank you for registering. We look forward to seeing you on Jun 22nd! REMEMBER - because you registered online you don't need to wait in the registration line at the trailer. Just sign the waiver when you arrive, check off your name on the registration list (it will be hanging on the side of the trailer) and get your car tech'd. That's it!

::Banana::

It's even easier if you have annual tech!

N!

You too? That course messed up my alignment.

Dang...S2000's must be fragile::Fart::

Yeah we developed a front end clunk, pretty sure it's the endlinks. New ones going on tonight. I'm pretty sure our alignment is still good, or at least I hope it is...

The weather sucked, but the event ran smooth for the most part. I'd like to see that course again in the dry!

Thanks for the rental Jimmy!

Thanks to everyone that attended!!
Next Event: Sunday, July 20th at Texas Motor Speedway. See ya there!

Was fun running in the wet stuff. Another nice job by the SCCA gang. Good times. Thanks!

Good event. Frustrating to see another event where one heat has completely different conditions (and times) than the rest of the field, but that's just crazy weather luck. Very nice that the day was incident-free, and the only scare was a lo speed spinout by the IROC. Terrific course.

Great course and a well run event. Ran 2nd and worked 4th -- it was like two different events.

I sure would love a crack at that course in the dry...

Overall a fun day, but time for new tires (drink, OZMDD!). Still, Jon and I made the best of our own little battle to not be DFL in STR. Kudos to keno for top PAX and to Ryan M and John C for putting on a show at the pointy end of STR!

Thanks, Iain!

I took a passenger on my last run thinking I had a comfortable ~4 tenths lead. This was a mistake, John and Thomas both got closer than I would've liked and it almost cost me the win ::Blink::

Here was my fastest
