I flushed the MSR calendar cache and now our events are showing on the website again.

Thanks Michael!

The ten day forecast says dry on Saturday and only 30% chance of rain on Sunday. High on Saturday of 73 and 69 on Sunday. It will be cold Saturday morning but warmer Sunday morning. I'm hopeful.

Looking more and more like a perfect weekend to work out our pent-up aggression with our ground-pounders.

Due to not being able to secure a sitter for Jax, it looks like we cant attend. Can we get a refund from motorsport reg or apply it to a future event?
If not, can we at least gift our spots to 2 folks on the wait list?
Thanks and still cant wait to see everyone!

Connor and i are registered and we got his minor waiver done electronically (he is 17) since they changed it this year, thanks Mark P. for the direction on that. This is the first test and tune i've attended (and first AX in almost 15 years). We are sooo looking forward to it! This was on the schedule, and looks like the same as regular events, let me know if i've missed something otherwise will be there no later than 730am.

We strongly encourage you to be on-site no later than 7:30AM, especially if you are a novice.

That was fun. Unfortunately my tires were well over four years old. I'm buying some new Falkens like the fast Mustang FS car ran.

The test and tune was really fun, Connor and I got @ 8 runs each Saturday, he is totally hooked, and was 1 sec faster than me . This was the first real pressure-test of the 20yr old 325i we bought in Dec, and unfortunately we sprung a radiator leak Saturday mid afternoon, so had to miss Sunday. But thankfully we managed to get it back to Knoxville after stopping several times along the way to check on fluid. I'll be installing (aka cursing) a replacement cooling system over the next few weeks, and expect/hope to have it ready for ETR#2. That's how it goes, was just really glad to get it home to deal with it here ;-P

I should be getting four Falken RT660's tomorrow.

I was at a tire store today for another reason and they mentioned that tire prices are going up by up to 20% on April 1. So if anyone else is thinking about buying tires soon, you might want to move quickly.
