I'm planning to be there to at least set up equipment, and drop off Steve's car.

Have we made a decision on format yet? Two timed sessions of however many runs you want? Regular event, and timed sessions afterward?

This will be my first autocross ever. Pretty excited to see what it is all about and learn some things. I'd be willing to help out however is needed. Just let me know what time to show up. Also, any pointers on what to bring and how to prepare would be appreciated!

Results are posted. Evidently Disney's event set-up was ignored.

Thanks a lot John! You too Ryan!

Oh, and thanks RC for driving the car. Think I'm going to get myself a LSD for myself this Christmas, lol.

I had a blast. Wish I could have stayed for the second session. I've never had so much fun at an autocross. I think I got about 8-9 runs back to back.

That was one of the best designs i have seen there. You never fail to make what little variability we have into not the same only setup.

19 laps through it and it was still alot of fun, of course it is alot more fun when i know how to drive my car fast now.

Want to thank JB,RC,Ryan,Eric and Lin,also Arron and the rest that helped out :rockon: We could have not had this without the help!!!!! Lost count of the runs we all had,and the use of the skills provided by RC ina lot of cars!! I really liked that POPS drove his P car like a racer and the vette guys went to school also.This was a true meaning of a test and tune.For those that ran today hold your heads up high :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:
