There won't be any easy sticker unless I move to S0

Between super fast Jake, Eva and Doug and 6 people driving WRX's at the sand pit of TBD (so far) it's going to be anyone's event. Still waiting for the fast UK couple to sign up. Enjoy your cruise - we're going on one New Year's Eve. Can I borrow your car and let Philip do an instructor run or two?

Ugh... this is such bait to move across into S2 if I ever heard so.

Where is the course map already?

Steak bonus if there's a map in 15 minutes.

Will be your last opportunity for some time. I'm getting some stock size sticky tires for the other car after sale starts. See where you end up in the FN. Obviously your not going to be in the points in M2. Maybe you can finish 4th in S2 until Gerry gets back? My 4 year old tires shouldn't scare anyone off?

I'll buy fishsticks and barley pops at the Bayport inn if you can best me. Your sticky tires need to -2.5 seconds on your next not so fun run...

What's a barley pop? So we're heads up racing then? Cool. My money's on Jake anyhow until Gerry gets back.

When I get back, I will have sticky tires, sway bars, and a fart can... I will have run out of excuses. Quick - give me some more excuses!

You're leaving Jake from State Farm to your driving for beers?

Just finished final course map revisions. Don't go to bed just yet...

Okay, here's that course map. Study it, there will be a quiz.

Starting my excuses early. Recent concussion means slower than usual reflexes, right hip injury means I might have to try to learn left foot braking between now and then.

Loren, left note on registration re work assignment. Will update as needed.

Now yall here is a dedicated autocrosser!!! Earnhart is out for the whole season and Eva limps on.

Course looks good, smooth, easy to follow and weather proof, fairly open and maybe we'll see 5 runs this time if you morning people don't hit a lot of cones and get a ton of reruns like the last two times here.

Are the dark blue rectangles Super charger stations for my EV?

I think Station 2 course workers are gonna get some exercise. Hopefully they will be youngsters.

Reporting for duty, lol

As long as I don't carry too much speed into the loop, I think I can avoid washing out again... Like Doug said, should be smooth and easy to follow.

Registration closes Wednesday, be sure you're registered! Be sure all of your friends are registered!

Well FSU at Miami with an 8pm start means I won't be up at 7am to drive back from the east coast for this one. Have fun everyone, Les should have the MSM out on the sand lot so I won't be 100℅ absent.

Can you make the late session, Matt?

Lava Speed 05 · Postby **Lava Speed 05** » Tue Oct 04, 2016 11:53 am

I was thinking I could try but being honest with myself I will be drinking late into Saturday night and won't get back to my brother's house till 1-2 am and that's still 4.5 his from the event.

Edit: If it was just me I would still try, but given the fact that Michelle and Trent will be there too it's foolish to think I'll be back in time.

Looking at the registration so far:
Only M0 and S0 don't have a four door car competing in class.
M2 is the biggest class with 20 cars.
In S2 eight out of nine cars are powered by a flat 4, the remainder has a wankel.
100% of S4 has a Mazda badge on it.
