FAST Open Autocross - Dec 14 - Lakeland

[Native]

Steve,
It's time for you to find the $10 bill under the windshield wiper again.

Rules: We both run with the Old Bat but you and I run in Heats where the old Bat (wife) rides with you when I'm working and she rides with me otherwise because you don't have to work because you are special. Tada. I need to know where the old bat is. Can't depend on the Smart Phone tracker.

I spent $2099 on stuff that makes the Vette faster than you remember.

Merely "normal" maintenance no camber or turbos involved. $450 set of tires

The Mayor

If you'd like to pay me 10 bucks to show the Old Bat how it's done, I'm in.
My codriver won't be around 12/28 - I'll be looking for a ride that day, unless you'll be around and are tired of that big ol' heavy wallet that I can lighten up for you a bit?

Okay. We were originally just going to drive down for a visit but I realized Autocrossing is a boring spectator sport and it's a 1.5hr drive so signed us up to add to the point total for everyone and remove some rust:P I can't make the all day sessions anymore but thought we'd try a 1/2 day late one again. Crossing fingers that nothing comes up for this one. Stay tuned. Watch out for guys with an "Indians" bruise on their back.

What fun!

Ok. Thanks Steven! Looks like my car would be GS but has Coilovers, so it would be in modified. My guess is M3, but I don’t see what the M4 restrictions are?

Also, just curious how many runs you normally get per group and if car sharing is factored in? Does one person have to work while the other drives and then switch? We like to ride with each other. Is signing up for morning and afternoon common?

[Loren]

Look on the Modified rules page, it's all right there.

Dual registration is not uncommon. Or one driver running early and one driver running late if you want to do that. Or you can both run in the same group and alternate runs. However you want to do it, we're easy as long as things keep moving.

The course map looks fun but I will miss the dip, and I like the action on the side. Adds a fun competitive spirit. There should be a "FAST Fantasy Autocross" app. Pick your drivers and a win/place/show type of ranking, pony up a few bucks, follow along on the app to see if your drivers win overall points for the year. Any coders in the group?

Steve im not sure which car i will be yet Saturday but let me know your always welcome to co drive with me.

[Native]

Thank you Gene. Bill and I will be floggin' the waggin' again this weekend - and it looks like The Mayor wants to give me another 10 bucks on the 28th. If that doesn't work out I'll hit you up!

Well, wife decided we wanted to do it, but we didn’t get home in time to register by midnight.

[TADcanoe]

Is registration going to reopen by any chance? Said it might if it wasn’t full, and afternoon appears to only have 44 people. Unless I am reading it wrong?

[Loren]

We used to close registration on Monday and then reopen it until Wednesday if we had to. Now we just leave it open as late as we possibly can, which is midnight on Wednesday. Sorry you missed it. VERY unusual for a Lakeland event to not have been sold out last week. Waiting until the last minute to register is never a good idea.

I am glad you enjoy scolding a new member that just moved to the area about waiting until the last minute. I never would have guessed that’s a bad idea with all the whitewater kayaking events I entered and World Championship medals I have in my sock drawer. Wow! So did you want to answer my question or just scare any new people away? If I missed registration, then that’s fine, but I can read and it says that if there are empty spots, there are, that it would open back up until 8 on Thursday.

My wife and I are new here and didn’t know if we could make it until last minute as we are still getting settled in.
So all we need to know is yes or no on registering? No hard feeling either way. We know we messed up.

[Loren]

It's a no. Sorry.
