Since they allow on-site reg, they are not going to turn you away, anyway.

Thanks

How many runs do you get at PCA events?

How many runs do you get at PCA events?

It feels like 50, but I think its typically 10 (5 am/5pm)

It really depends on the number of people and how things go. Expect at least eight runs.

Nice weather in store for us on Sunday, so enjoy it while you can.

Anyone have a open seat?

I can vouch for him. He pays, he's normal, and you can beat him.

Breakfast?

We will be at McDonalds at the truck stop from 5:45 to 6:15. Still have to break that news to Leilane.

Waho for me 745 anyone interested?

Fun today. I hope they finish the road work over the winter, the dust is really a buzz kill in the first heat. Some pretty impressive straights on this course. I was well into 3rd in two places, pushing 70. Great risk/reward course.

The lot is really a mess. In the video you can see where the line was cleaned. If you went just outside of it the grip was crap.

I totally agree. It felt like two completely different tracks from the morning to the afternoon. Plus, the angle of the sun in the afternoon was reflecting perfectly on the track - I was able to see the line we cleared all the way around without really even looking at the cones.

Big thanks to Ken O for explaining the course. It went against all my sense of self preservation, but I was able to stay flat on the throttle all the way through the last section leading up to the hairpin before the finish. Doing that shaved a big chunk off my times!

Fun times, can't wait to do it all again.

KenO is too fast. I'll bet Jim Hollingsworth will be really fast in a better car. :)

I wish I could of seen Ken O's video before I ran, then maybe, just maybe I wouldn't of sucked so bad. Getting beat by my wife is a humbling experience. She will never be called a gracious winner. But I plan to redeem myself this weekend.

I want to thank everyone that came out to the Charity Autocross. Over $1300 was raised for the Hope Shelter in Mineral Wells.

Also special thanks to Jerrett for course design and his setup crew, I now understand the correct way to run the course was "flat out" in the straights and hold on in the turns.

Great for the Hope Shelter.


Always drive flat out.
