The event is limited to 65 drivers.

You get eight runs at NTAXS events, so you will make four runs in the AM session and four runs in the PM session, with a lunch break in between.

Car Classing is based on engine size:
- Class 1/1R is for engines under 2.3 liters, except Honda S2000 and Lotus
Elise/Exige.
- Class 2/2R is for engines over 2.2 liters, but under 4.0 liters, plus Honda S2000.
- Class 3/3R is for engines over 3.9 liters, plus Lotus Elise/Exige.
- Class S2000 is only for Honda S2000 on street tires.
- Class X/XR is an open class for any engine displacement and induction.

Rotary engine multiplies displacement by 2.0. Usage of forced induction multiplies displacement by 1.5. (This is in addition to the rotary multiplier, if applicable.) Tires with a wear rating under 140 must use the R class.

I'm really thinking about trying to come out for this. I missed the SCCA event and the mama-jama Equipe Rapide event. Haven't gotten to check out Dallas Racewayl yet and looks like it's pretty a pretty decent area.

DirtyD 11-14-2013 01:45 AM

Going to try and make it as well

Grandpa 11-14-2013 10:28 AM

$30 bucks is very doable! Going to check with the wife to make sure the date is available for me to attend. :)

Ryan, with the numbers on the car, is a sticker needed or is tape or shoe polish on the windows good enough? I don't have a helmet anymore, but I'm sure Donnie will loan me his again.

JDBishopArts 11-14-2013 11:56 AM

I'm going!

DirtyD 11-14-2013 12:13 PM

I've seen most people just use blue painters tape for the low tack.

Ryan, I have wondered though, are we assigned a number or do we pick our own? I know you have to put your class on the car (STU, etc.).

03MachMe 11-14-2013 12:20 PM

This group is a little different not the usual classes. We will all be class 3 due to size of our motors. And yes blue painters tape will do. You pick your number when you sign up at the link in the first post

Cool. Thanks for that. I always wondered how the number assignment went.

DirtyD 11-14-2013 12:40 PM

Registered.

Kind of want to get a different helmet now. other than my full face MX helmet I have.

03MachMe 11-14-2013 12:52 PM

I still need one too. Check out cycle gear they should have some fairly cheap

brtnstrns 11-14-2013 01:19 PM

Would like to go but I really need to get my car reliable before beating it up again. 300 dollar rides home suck.

donutninja 11-14-2013 02:03 PM

I have orange painters tape if anyone needs it at the event. I find the blue doesn't show up on the sterling grey. I'll be in class 2 but look forward to meeting you guys!!

STROKD 11-14-2013 05:01 PM

Sounds fun. Ill be playing Forza 5 instead, its a lot cheaper.

I am Legend 11-14-2013 09:21 PM

< will be there. I've gone to every NTAXS event since I moved here. Kinda strange classes but I like running raw time vs Pax times. Its a good apples to apples comparison to other cars. Glad that its the end of the season too, my tires are smooookkked. Hope they hold up....

03MachMe 11-14-2013 10:24 PM

I thought that was you that I saw signed up. My tires are crap right now as well. Will def have to pick up some new RS3s before next years events

jrj512 11-14-2013 10:34 PM

Hello. My name is Jerrett and I run the NTAXS autocrosses. I saw some drivers use dfw50s.com in their registrations, so I thought I would drop by.

Let me know if you have any questions about the event. We do not get enough V8s at events, so it would be great to have you all there.

We can also do special classing, so if you all want to just create a Mustang class, then let me know and we can put one together. Or you can just hang out in Class 3.

I will be posting the course next week.

That would be awesome to have a Mustang class!! as long as everyone else is cool with it I think that would be fun.

Cool. Sign up for Class 3 and I will change you all to Class M once I download the registrations to the laptop. It's easier to just add a class to the timing software and re-class people as needed rather than editing the registration.

JDBishopArts 11-14-2013 10:51 PM

Nice. Welcome!

I am Legend 11-14-2013 11:28 PM

I'm cool with staying in 3. There are LS cars and BMWs I like to go up against as well as mustangs.

donutninja 11-16-2013 12:54 PM

Checking the weather for today because I want to do some painting and decided to look at the 10day. 60% rain/snow? On the 24th. Hopefully the front or whatever slows down and it rains Monday or Tuesday.

Also... Is that snow rain? I have never seen that symbol before being from the gulf coast. Haha

Forecast shows 50/38 now with 20% chance of rain and projected winds NE @ 11 mph.

It's going to be cold either way. But I prefer it not raining and cold.

Grandpa 11-18-2013 12:47 PM

I don't mind the cold, if there is any type of precipitation I'm out.

jrj512 11-18-2013 04:31 PM

Only 11 (of 65) spots left, so sign up quickly if you plan to attend.

JDBishopArts 11-18-2013 05:03 PM

I'm down either way. 555rs in the wet/cold with a blower is going to be fun either way. lol

Glad I'm slow with non-DR tires. LOL

BTW, thanks for stealing the number I wanted. :shooter:

JDBishopArts 11-18-2013 05:24 PM

They didn't have the number I wanted so I was just like screw it. lol

donutninja 11-18-2013 05:55 PM

Cold isn't so bad. Cold and rainy... Still fun but kinda meh.

I've never received the confirmation email either, I always go back and look at the entry list to confirm im on it and never had an issue.

Good idea and I should have thought of that... Long week. Can't wait to kill... err...miss some cones

DirtyD 11-19-2013 11:32 AM

jrj512 , is there somewhere to get a PDF or larger version of the map?

Also, we aren't going to be required to meet dB levels at Dallas Raceway, are we?...

We will have map handouts at the site. I also posted the map at www.facebook.com/ntaxs in case their version is bigger.

No sound requirements at Dallas Raceway, but we will speak with you if it's ear-splitting. That's usually more of an issue with Hondas rather than Mustangs. Kind of like how loud a Min-Pin barks versus a large dog.

jrj512 11-19-2013 08:51 PM

BTW, only two spots left for Sunday.

brtnstrns 11-19-2013 10:11 PM

Dang looks like I missed it by an hour or so. Hopefully a crew this big will get together next year as well. At least I get a little more time to get my car sorted out. :(

Resolude 11-19-2013 10:50 PM

Yup, just missed it as well. Damn...

JDBishopArts 11-19-2013 11:16 PM

Didn't want to get beat by a mustang? lol

03MachMe 11-19-2013 11:47 PM

Can't wait to try out the new shocks!
