Won't make this, business trip returns late on the 13th so no way I'd actually wake up early on the 14th :(

It's an Open event, which means it's a split format. You could register for the Late session and show up at noon.

I'm liking this! Also I'm pretty sure I have my boost leak sorted out, I found a bad check valve along my vacuum lines.... Image

I'm surprised a 2015 car having a nice chunk of boost leaks. Makes me want to get my car boost leaked tested now. Never done it before :laugh: ..........

Yeh couldn't hurt, the check valve was part of an aftermarket oil catch can setup tho, not sure I had/have any OEM leaks

A person could really tally up some huge cone counts in a few places BUT most of us realize the object of autocross is to beat the frickin' Fastiva by simply staying clean.

Eight ball in the side pocket? Going to be a fun weekend for me and a few others :thumbwink: Carl I haven't done anything to my car other than wipe off the windscreen, add some psi and clean my sunglasses. Wonder what a new 1LE goes good with? Ranch, Italian or a FOcuss Brazilian Waxing?

It's true, if you have the tendency to drive 30 to 50 feet off of the racing line, you could hit a bunch of cones. :headscratch:

Registration closes tomorrow, get signed up!

Looks like I'm the only S4 entry for the early session. :( I hate being out there and not having anyone in my class to compare to!

Oh well. Have to get a clean one in then go for broke haha.
