Tom: thanks for the directions: pretty much follows what mapquest said: I just can't believe they tell you to use a hotel that's 1/2 hour away: there's gotta be something closer!!

-Z.

 

Half hour?!? How'd that happen?
Z, How'd you manage to get your 42? Just luck? I didn't see number requests on the form. I'm #044, right behind you, I'll try not to lap you

 

Thanks Adrial, next question-what time does the first car roll off?

 

Registration opens at 8AM, first car off at 9:15AM.

 

dont let tom scare you, i will be wearing a t-shirt and shorts.

when you see where the autocross site is you will understand. Remember the oak beach inn or OBI, it was the only establishment within about ten miles.

you are racing on a paved dune on an island less than a half mile wide. there are three roads off the island.

 

metrony is usually first car off at 10.

site opens at 7, registation at 8, tech inspection, drivers meeting and first car off at 10.

i dont know if it is different for the zone

 

I'll be there early, since I've been choosen to be on the tech team!

Dave: I requested #42 on my form, and gave an alternative as 142, my DE number!
Never hurts to ask!!

-Z.

 

get there any earlier than 7 and it will be you and the seagulls. and hope they haven't locked up the bathrooms for the winter yet.

 

dont know if the bathrooms are locked but the vending machines dont have any power, i just got home from tobay a little while ago.

 

What a great event! Despite the weather not cooperating, and only getting 3 runs on the second day, it was a lot of fun.

Post your results!

At the end of the first day, there was a 2 second gap between the second place car and myself. (3 seconds between first and me: three cars total in class).
Somehow, on the second day, I made up that 2 second deficit and took 2nd in class!! Whoo Hoo!!

It was nice to meet some of you from the board: Tom R and Dan Gallagher. Tom, like I said, your Camaro looks real "cute." We gotta get you back in the fold before you really start growing a mullet!

-Z-man.

 

Just as soon as my brother puts another thrity thousand miles on his car i will be back. thats about a year from now, and i have his old michelins in the garage that will fit the cookie cutters and be perfect for autocrossing next season.

at dinner saturday i spoke to a fellow lodge brother that owns a tire store, told him the tires i had on the camaro, and he told me my complaints. turns out its not all the fault of the solid axle. now if i could just get more than 11 mpg (replacing the factory chip should help).

 

Wait when is this? And what are the helmet requirements? I gotta start doin this!

 

yesterday - last weekend.

metro is having another autocross 11/9 at tobay. get there at 8am, and you will get a loaner helmet. check their website.

 

F--- I have to work....but I may be able to make it still....what time do they ussually end? -thx-chris
