I can do supplies if needed. I can drop off the trailer and get supplies, I'll have the van, I'm sure there will be plenty of room. Course looks like fun too ! Looking forward to this event.

If nobody else volunteers for supplies, I guess Brian can do it.

Also, I just noticed (via Jeff) that there was an error in the FROC sign-up info post. To be clear, the FROC will be at the MAY event, that's this one. 7 bold drivers have already signed up. Do you have what it takes?

Loren: Does the FROC include current class points leaders (2011) or current "reining (2010) class champions?
Also - if already registered for the May event, is there any other steps needed to register?

All of these question are answered in the FROC Sign-Up post.

I think I will still have this cast on my hand and not be able to compete. It really sucks to see the competition in H get decided like this. I mean after all, I deal with enough of these low blows in fantasy football.

At any rate..Austin you were in the lead before this happen so it isn't like you will be taking first without earning it. Hopefully, I will be able to get healthy and fight Billy off for second.

See you all in June,

Bum a ride from one of these guys with an automatic with power steering! I've seen a guy with no legs autocross (And he was pretty good, I didn't even realize it until I was chatting with him at the starting line on about his 3rd run!), you have no excuse.

I'm sure I could pull it off at some level, but I would not be at my potential and that would be frustrating. I'd rather just wait until I'm back to my regular self.

However, if I were going to run an automatic...it'd be the 2007 260hp Amanti I picked up recently! Oh...that would be interesting. :lol:

If you're in a season points race, "some points" > "no points". You just need to show up in a car that's eligible for your class.

Get over here and sign up!

Are there any spots left? I am in town that weekend and it would be awesome to come back out. It's been a while.

Tommy -- the drill hasn't changed. The last couple of SPC events, we've approached not being able to take everyone on the waiting list, so best get there well before 9am.

Looks like everything is in order to have an autocross next Saturday!

We could still use another body to help with course teardown. I think we'll lean on Brian for supplies, since he volunteered. Jim, did you say you were handling the lunch order?

What else?

Greg, did you (or are you still planning to) get our marble dust?

What else am I forgetting?

Not yet, will be getting it on Tuesday ... 4 bags.
Racing against my NEON is like getting in a fight with a girl, if you win you, you can't brag about it, and if you lose, you hope nobody finds out!
