I may actually make it out tonight, practically on my way home from work!!!

Star Specs are ON!

I'm starting to get itchy. . .

Picked up two bags today @ $12.99ea (IIRC)

Wish I'd remembered a few trash bags to protect my trunk. . .d'oh! Its probably been at least 5yrs since I've been to Allens.

Dan, get 2 bags, 3 if you can carry them. One-ish will be enough for the event, but since you are going, we may as well get a little extra.

Adam's volunteered for supplies, so he should have you covered on the usual consumables. The Flowers' lunch service includes paper products, so we're good ...

I'm headed to Allen's tomorrow to grab chalk - how many bags do we need?

Also - any other supplies we need to grab before the event? Its been nearly a year since I've seen the trailer so I have no idea how well stocked (or not) we are. . .

Also (again) - Set of 4x Star Specs on the way from Tire ...

It has begun. . . 8)

Yessir! Thanks-a-bunch!!!

EXCELLENT! Yellow_Colorz_PDT_01

Jeremy (or anyone else) a compromise is also totally an option - if there is a course everyone wants to try, but tweaked, and we can sort the tweak out together/in advance, that could be a win/win!

i can do what helps the most,
am open to help where i am needed most!
just let me know, thanks
Okay, just be sure Jamie has you down for the correct position. I'll keep you in the loop as the course design comes in. (Dan? Nick?)

Nick & I are both too busy to be interested in designing a ...

Alright - time to tap the brain trust!

I want a list of names from those of you who've been around for a while - looking to dig up some OLD folks! Anyone who hasn't been out for a while & needs a good excuse. . .

I'm here! :D

I don't even know if Nick is registered on the forum. . . :oops:

I thought it might be fun to see if we can dig up as many folks who haven't been out in a year + as possible! Who has info for OGs? Sound like a fun idea? Dumb idea?

Also, maybe a year ago we tried a new pizza place ...

Bobby & I are hoping this is going to be a big hit with you guys! We've got a killer media blasting & powder coating rig up and running and we're looking for projects to take on. Everything from routine stuff like valve covers to weird & wild stuff - this is 100% custom work & one-on-one attention ...

+1 in the 'Loved it' column here! Thought the course had a nice mix of tight/technical stuff + all out speed. 3/4 runs had cones for me & I got a good reminder how much I'm used to relying on the ABS in my Silver Miata. As others have already mentioned, well run & well food'd as always.

Fantastic school. It IS a big event to run, but my enthusiasm for AutoX always peaks each year around the time of the school.

It's just great seeing folks explore their cars & their own limits for the first time & then seeing the excitement at their success - I love it! Only better thing is seeing ...

It was owner (I think) and builder. Builder is Dan Rasp's boss so I suspect Dan did some (much?) wrenching on it. Hopefully he can comment on it.


Correction - the car was built for a customer, well before my time. That's all Scott! 8) The car was/is set up for going really fast at Sebring, so ...

Fun video. Classic Minis are some of my all-time favorite cars - yours looks especially nice. I'll have to get my friend Phil back out with his. . .

I put up a very small gallery of the few pix I got from the day, mostly family & friend stuff, but one is of your Mini.

I had a great time out there. Was my first autocross with FAST and with my 190e. Was consistently knocking off time, so I was very happy.

Hope to make it out to the next one!

Sorry I didn't find you at the event - I wanted to compliment your driving on the 190E! I'm a big fan of those cars ...

Naw, the head is basically a stock rebuild. The shave is the only thing that is arguably making more power, but it's within factory rebuild specs. Plus, as you mentioned, I'm not that great a driver so there shouldn't be anyone calling for a tear-down or anything. . . :wink:

I figured this was ...

I want to return my silver Miata to stock 'H' class & all I need to do it is to loose the Teins & get back to stock springs. I've had KYB AGXs & 93LE valved Bilsteins already & want to try something new but don't feel like doing the work to figure out what the hot ticket for SCCA stock class ...
