East Tennessee Region SCCA

Another great event! I have to say that my spin on my first run was the first time driving in a controlled environment that I've been genuinely scared. I did not see or feel that coming AT ALL. Car felt stable, I felt like I was putting power down, and then BOOM, spinning through the grass. I guess ...

I'm fired up! Its supposed to be nice tomorrow, I've got R compounds that need to be used up before winter, and most importantly, they are already loaded in the car

Scott, I'd ask you when you were leaving, but I already know that we like to travel at different rates of speed.

man, this is gonna come EARLY in the morning.

been fighting a cold all week, so hopefully i can forget about that for about 66.xx seconds at a time.

What is ironic is that it is the MR2 people who are saying the miata's will be competitive, and the miata people that are saying they won't. Both sides are saying that this will "spell the end of ES". I've been following the ESP rally car vs. pony car discussions all year on SCCAForums an...

As for 2, we might consider outlawing ride-alongs for anyone that ever trophies in their class except novice. This makes an argument for running pro class first so that the pro drivers can instruct later. On the other side of the coin, ride-alongs add to the fun of the event and helps develop the o...

The arena was there when I started school in Fall '97, so it is at least that old. You used to be able to pull up an overhead of it on Mapquest, but I think I heard that Mapquest has pulled that feature. I'll check a little later.

Scott, I THINK you scribbled this down at the last meeting, but just in case....... The Tex Turner Arena upper level parking lot at LMU. The arena has just over 5,000 seats, so that gives you an idea of the size of the lot. I can't remember how the islands and lamposts are layed out, but here is a p...

good course. gave the bigger cars a little room, yet didn't seem to put the lower hp cars at a disadvantage. i usually like the two lappers. my only regret is eating at subway before my run group. there was a time period that i thought i was going to have to forget about autocrossing and go inside a...

as of now, i'm planning to go to the saturday event. anyone interested? are you evo school guys still going to be in town on sat?

something other than a Corrado.

Good thing we still have drifting!

i think that'd be a great choice. i hope you get one because i'd like to see someone local put some time towards autocrossing one.

Chris is right. You should buy Pilson's Scirrocco.

great event, great weather. it felt real good to be on course. for some reason, i don't really seem to get excited about the 411 events, but whenever i get out there, it really gets my adrenaline going.

if the weather is nice, i'll do the saturday part. i'd like to get as much autocrossing as i can before it gets cool.
