$73 per weekend. Two days per weekend.

Well, good luck with the house hunting.

The register now link on their site doesn't work either. Maybe it's just my computer. And I can't find them on myautoevents. What a pain! It would be a whole lot easier on you if you just went to the Atlanta Pro Solo and National Tours instead. Registration is easy, you get to run two days instead ...

Correct, but it's the same here. You can join as an associate member, for a small fee, if you are a member of another SCCA region.

I haven't run there in years but I hear that you now have to pre-register or you can't run. I hate their web site but somewhere on there they have run groups listed (GS might run in the blue group, for example). They tell you somewhere else what groups run in the morning and what ones run in the aft...

I haven't talked to anybody.

$62.00
- 58.00
-----------
$4.00 / 2 people = $2 per person

Sounds like things are progressing very well! Keep it up and come to the school. I would hate for you to miss out on it. Everyone that has attended in the past has said they learned a lot.

$4 more for a real breakfast (if it's included in the price) sounds like a good deal to me. If you share a room with someone else, it's only $2 more.

I wasn't sure either, but He wanted to know how to number his car with something other than tape and paper. Is there any other way of knowing or someone else to ask. I know the rule book is the ultimate guide, but if it doesn't say should he be up against old honda's and nissan's or other turbo car...

That's right. All I remembered was 400hp in a luxo-sporty car.

I haven't driven it but for 2005 it has the old Z06 engine.

I picked it up last night before the meeting. I like it a lot. The vehicle dynamics are a lot better, as metioned before. I decided to start the hard way and didn't transfer anything from GT3. The RX7 Turbo that I bought rolls and pitches all over the place like a stock RX7.

I'll be there driving something. BTW, anyone that wants to go needs to go ahead and get their entries in. I would say this will be a popular event and you might end up on a waiting list if you don't sign up early. If you need the entry form you can download it here: http://www.scca.org/_Filelibrary/...

I personally checked into the 2.5RS classing since I was running your car at the last event. There were no changes in the rulebook from '04 to '05 regarding STS classing. I also got on SCCA Forums for some opinions and everyone said no changes had been made. One person said SCCA talks about moving t...

I've driven it. It's not that bad. Throttle modulation is the name of the game.
