Tech will be both Friday night and Saturday Morning for those that can not make Friday night.
I would like to get as many as possible Friday.
Thanks,

Pelli just isn't fair, but first let me pre-face this by saying the reading is the reading and we all must abide by it.

My highest reading at a national tour(Wilmington was the latest) has never been over 91dB. The valley must act like a big bowl catching all the sound and throwing it back at the meter.

I was at Black Lake this past weekend … great site (even if a bit traction limited) and we had less than 80

Plausible - my (our) current concern is it's throwing it all toward the (new) neighbors...

Hey guys! New to autocross, but have done several rallycross events in and around the area, and was wondering if anyone would be willing to let me co-drive. I'd drive my WRX, but it's not suited for anything but offroad and daily driving. I'd pay my entrance fee as well as any gas used. Thought it was about time to get my foot into autocross, and what better time to do that than a charity event!

Did you guys know that...... we play Florida @ home this Saturday? That might be part of the reason of low pre-reg.

Would have had the same conflict with the original date of 9/27. The other option was 10/18, which is Blytheville weekend....or sometime in November, when DST would have been over.

Any big event in the fall around here is difficult. Anytime there is an off week for UT, something else is going on....weddings, brewers jam, etc.

....avoiding UT is why we got married in early August.
