:rockon: Thanks Dave. Helmet will be good. No Mods to the car. How would that class me? Please forgive all of my questions, I have not auto crossed anything other than a Mini and an STi! Thanks in advance.

This event is more of a test and tune than anything so it will likely be a lot more relaxed than normal. Don't worry too much about the class. Let the tech inspectors look it over and suggest what class might be good for you. Just take some time and go over the car before the event. Check wheel bearings, brakes, battery tie down, etc. and make sure it is safe to drive. We have loaner helmets available if you don't have one that passes tech.

This is going to be a fun event,rules will be followed and car can be classed at tech and reg. Multi runs and set up tips to be had, also diff vetrans to ride /run your car.Noobs will also have a more relaxed time to get to know what a course is and how to correctly walk and drive it. Since this is not going to be a points event. Poss chance to drive a higher classed car or ride in it than yours, a very good comparison of the we and them.

I am looking to have a good time teaching a new student how to drive the "Silver Bullet". Its always fun to teach someone that's never autocrossed before in a ASP Vette. :shock: :lol:

Mike,

I would love to help you if we get time. I would love to see our club have a autocross school like we did in the past, but if not you should sign up and do a evo school. Its the best bang for the buck that's for sure.

As long as you can give me some pointers you are more than welcome to drive mine :mrgreen:
Although it's possible that work won't let me off Sunday, I plan on being there.

We've got 25 signed up and I'm not sure how many of those are maybe's....

We going to have the personnel for this?

Sounds like we have people willing to step in as SS and sounds like we got people to set up course...

Are were going to have people that can do equipment setup, registration, and T&S?

I can help out with tech/grid/general stuff.

Right now it appears that I will not be there Sunday except to deliver equipment, computer, and pouch in the morning.
