Re: April 15 @ Brooksville
You mean like most cars in Modified R2? Maybe we need to clean house and kick a lot of cars out of R2 and into R1? Jamie can drive in R2 by himself.Loren wrote:If it's a car that is never street driven, gets brought in on a trailer, etc... oh, wait... nevermind...
Being trailered doesn't mean it's a race car, it just means that it's a POS with no tags/insurance.

Re: April 15 @ Brooksville
I know, I know. I gave that argument up a long, long time ago.
Even though you can get away with a lot on a trailered car that you wouldn't on a daily driver. "Grenade" engine? No problem for a 5-minute-per-month trailered "street car". Swiss-cheesed brake rotors? No problem.
Lots of things you wouldn't do to a car that you ACTUALLY drive on the street are fair game for a trailered car. Not saying that anyone here is or would do that sort of thing, just saying.

Re: April 15 @ Brooksville
Well I guess I'm going to chair this event with you my friend. Nothing but a huge three quarter mile slalom lol.Native wrote:I'm in.
14 entries already - all very familiar names.
Us regulars learn "fast." heehee...
I'll co-chair with someone who's willing to do most of the work...preferrably someone wanting to get their feet wet, so to speak.
Seriously I have a idea for a nice course for Brooksville.

Re: April 15 @ Brooksville
Always with the negative waves Moriarity.....True enough. Having an interior goes hand in hand (for most people) with a car being a legitimate street car, which is our intent. If it's a car that is never street driven, gets brought in on a trailer, etc... oh, wait... nevermind...

Re: April 15 @ Brooksville
Hurray for Brian & Steve!
Less than 2.5 days into pre-registration, 34 entries already. Going fast, get in if you can.
By the way... I'd suggest NOT pushing this to other car forums... we don't need 6 random newbs from _insert-forum-here_ signing up... try to just let things be for a while. We have PLENTY of regulars*, and we're not hard to find if people are looking. We don't need extra event promotion at this time.
* We consider anyone who's done 4 events in the past 12 months to be a "member"... we have OVER 50 of them!

Re: April 15 @ Brooksville
So Brian is working on the course and he's gonna do lunch and work assignments and the drivers' meeting and I think he said he was gonna wash my car before and after the event but I told him that was crazy - washing after the event would be plenty
So can someone tow the trailer (Brian's got enough to do, you know?)

Re: April 15 @ Brooksville
That's been happening a lot lately. I think people are trying to update their work assignment preferences, but somehow screwing it up. I don't know if it's the system or the user. (not that I have any control over either) I've probably had 3-4 email notification emails for entries on this event come in with stuff like that in one or more of the name fields (one of them was Charles, I think). But, I guess most people check their entry on the list and make corrections, because the one above is the only one left.Jeremy wrote:haha.myautoevents.com wrote:Stock Race Tire less than 3L [R4] Count: 1

If it doesn't get corrected, I'll figure out who it is and fix it next time I'm in there.

Re: April 15 @ Brooksville
This happened with my entry, too. I had to re-edit my preferences and they worked the second time. Seems like a bug in the MAE website...Loren wrote:That's been happening a lot lately.
