(See how I did that? Getting all up inside your head. Bwahahaha!)

My mind is like a vast void, all that shit you just said is lost in the void never to be heard of again :rolling: . And I'm not trying to trash talk with you, I'm trying to say I'm going to kick Drew's butt :box:.

I can't wait either, Eric! This event will be awesome. Hopefully we'll go against each other eventually and it will be a photo finish!

I remember having a great time at the last one. I actually had butterflies at the start line (more than usual I mean). It's a lot different when you know you have to drive your best right NOW - really exciting.

Besides this one, there are four other autocrosses at Brooksville between now and the end of February, and two in Ft. Myers. Don't let this hold you back!

But, definitely keep your eyes open for our school in March. The timing is perfect for you. :thumbwink:

So does this mean that when I lose on my first run, which I will, that I'm done running for the day?

Yano, I spent an awful lot of time writing out the rules and info for this event. You should take a minute or two and read it.

First post of this thread. Follow links.

To answer your question, you get 2 practice runs and then it's a double-elimination tournament. (but you really do need to read all of the info)

I did read all the info. For some reason, it wasn't clear to me. Brain farting, I suppose. Clearly, school is detrimental to brain function!

I signed up. Hoping for more than 4 runs, LOL!

Also I propose the Loren-Handicap: Loren isn't allowed to use 2nd gear. [img]http://teraportal.cz/forum/images/smili ... e_face.gif[/img]

Also, I checked up on the weather projections: http://www.weather.com/weather/weekend/USFL0438

Two observations:
1) So far, zero percent chance of rain and it'll be a nice, cool day! High of 74 and low of 64.
2) For this event, even if it rains, it doesn't give anyone the competitive advantage!

^^ One of the many reasons why this format is really cool. I'm excited!

Weather predictions a month out? Waaay too eager.... You need to go to an autocross this weekend and get it out of your system.
