Station 2 is a "wiggle". They never look right on the map. But, there will be about a 4-5 foot path straight between those cones. You can't drive it straight, even in a Miata. But, it's just a "wiggle". (same thing we've done as a "fishbone" before)

Looks like another "guts" course on the way out. How long can you keep your foot in it?

Wait.

What if ALL courses are "guts" courses.

Whooooaaa.

Hi everyone, I recently moved to the area and I've registered for the morning session in my GTI. I've only autocrossed once before, so I am definitely a novice. I noticed on the safety checklist a mention of "club helmets" -- if I don't have my own helmet, will I be able to borrow one next weekend? Looking forward to meeting you all and having a good time.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Hmmmmm. I don't know if Steve will show or if his car can run in "M"? You will feel bad with my car and 100% power from the last time? Randy can kick ass without paint or full power. You got the balls to bet $10 against Steve? He is pretty good....cept he cheats. 119 or 191 might be available? I'm thinking about replacing all 4 coils this week? Got a sorta slow start today. Hmmmmmm. That would fix your ass twice if I didn't :lol: The Mayor drives what he brung....good bad or indifferent. We will have a do one day with your S2k monster that beat David. :snore:

Late registration is open until 8pm Wednesday, as per usual. All you have to do is go look.

I think I'll be using this cat as my reference for the run down to the turnaround. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, launch down the straight.
