Looks like the autocross they did for the Corvair club. That's ER's trailer and you can see Andy's silver truck. There is also a Corvair pickup by the trailer. Several Corvairs in the lot, but probably instructor's cars on the course.

BTW, Equipe Rapide started life as the local Corvair club many years ago.

Hey Jarrett,

If it's raining while we are running the course, do the corner workers just stand out there with umbrellas?

Yep. If you have the means, swing by Academy and pick up at least a rain coat and possibly a full suite (pants). Also consider shoes -- soggy socks suck. When it's warm, I just wear water shoes or sandals (switch into real shoes for driving), but in the cooler weather, you need something waterproof. Consider a second pair of shoes and socks in case yours get wet.

Also bring some large trash bags to store the crap you pull out of your car.

Bring a zip-lock for your phone. You can still use it with wet hands through the baggy, and even talk through the baggy.

Great tips! I'll have my box-o-trash bags if anyone forgets, as well. You can also hit up a walgreens for a Pancho.

Weather forecast only shows 40% chance of rain, so hopefully that decreases more, or tailes off towards the latter part of the day. Really don't want to have to mess with that crap.

I may go buy an awning for the hell of it.

Something came up and I can't make it. Hope ya'll have some great runs!!
