SCCA Autocross Event #1

[Jucostud]

This Sunday at Pennington Field in Bedford. You can register online or show up at 7:30 to register there. $45 to run if you aren't a member. 130 registered so far with lots of mustangs.

I'll be there

[brtnstrns]

Just signed up. Didn't realize there would be an event so close to me so if something breaks my towing bill won't be staggering :rotflmao: Hopefully can get my tune all sorted out at True Street this afternoon so I'm not stalling out on the course!

130 cars! Damn

Yeah, wonder if it'll be like one run per car or what. Haha. Guess it'll be a long day.

Maybe 2 runs, and a 30-40 sec course. lol

Will likely get the normal 8 runs just a longer day

8 runs with 130 cars? Dang, that is very impressive. Must be a shorter track then?

[03MachMe]

Apparently I'm wrong. Nick said will prolly only get 3-4 runs. I'm out. Think I'll check out good guys instead

When I talked to David a couple of weeks ago, he said you have to show up at like 7 am at good guys to get a good spot in line. And that you are lucky of you get a 2nd run before they stop.

Not going to run just going to check it out

I'm doing the school on sat, and event on sun. Ran with them in no and got either 4 air 5 runs. Similar number of cars

[jrj512]

Should be 4-5 runs. Likely the latter.

Sweet, that should be enough to prove to everyone I'm a total amateur running a much too modified vehicle for my skill :D

[jrj512]

Don't let the number of people put you off. The SCCA runs an organized event and the number of drivers adds to the variety of cars and increased competition. There will be three or four heats versus two heats at other clubs. As long as the starter can release cars every 25 seconds, then it will go quickly and smoothly.

In full disclosure, I am on the local region's SCCA Solo board.

NTAXS, ER, SCCA, ... I'm starting to see a pattern. My name is Jarret, and I'm a parking lot addict, it all started when I saw my first orange cone...

Made it back to town last night, but with a 101 fever which hasn't broken yet. I'm paid up, but won't be able to attend. PM if you'd like to take my spot. Free autocross!!!

Let me put this gently: "Hell no you greedy MF'r!"

It's killing me, especially missing the school today. Car has the "race" wheels on, camber dialed in, and shocks and struts turned "up". Argh!!!

That sucks. Hope you get to feeling better.

[Jucostud]

Well I'm here and none of you are lol. Good day so far and everything is moving quickly. Pretty easy course to navigate, but lots of turns. Looks like a 40 sec course.

Thanks. Still coughing up green snails, but went to urgent care this morning. On antibiotic, steroid, and my fever has finally broken. :)
