Here are some corrections, people are still confusing the SCCA and FAST classes.

Class F
310 Woodbury, Stephen 05 Ford Mustang Gt Should be in Class G.

Class G
14 Hung, Frederick 08 Nissan Altima Coupe Should be in Class J.
29 Simpson, Ben 92 Mazda Miata White Should be in Class H.
44 Corbin, Pamela 93 Mazda Miata Red Should be in Class H.
613 Baraban, Andrew 08 Toyota Scion TC Maroon Should be in Class J.

I do know that Steve W needs to moved to G, but how do we know that some of these other cars aren't modified ?

Best guess....

Pam's co-driving Mark's Class G car...just isn't reflected in her entry. I'll change it.

I can vouch that Andrew's Scion isn't modified.

Also, I'm not terribly looking forward to this weekend. I broke a toe on my right foot on Sunday night and it hurts to walk, much less be on my feet for most of the day. I'll probably forgo walking the course.

We'll make it a work assignment to push you around on the hand truck....

course map please?

Kenny, sorry to hear that you're slightly disabled, I had a tow truck run over my foot one time, and I know the pain you speak of. I could bring my red wagon and pull you around the course if some else is using the dolly.

Jack, I have a feeling the course map isn't going to be posted.

so the secret course thing continues! and why???

Perhaps you weren't paying attention when our event chairman had to abandon his post for personal reasons and Jamie had to take over for him? Things are coming together just fine, we'll have a course whether you get to see it before the event or not, chill out.

We didn't become the most popular autocross club in the area by whining about stupid stuff like this, geez!

I've been autocrossing since 1996 and I've never seen a club that REQUIRED all course design discussions to be done on a public forum. It's NOT the norm. It would add time to a process that already takes more time than some people have. We've made a place for people to discuss course designs if they CHOOSE to. If a course designer doesn't want to take that extra time, or doesn't want the extra input, so be it.

No confidence?

Because between getting an access roster to the airport, squeezing in an actual autocross, taking my wife out for an evening, drafting out the run/work groups and work assignments, taking dogs to the vet, and spending the spare 10-12 hours in each day doing things the Air Force pays me for, I'm not done yet. And I don't like designing courses by committee or having 25-30 people hanging over my shoulder while I work, in acutal or virtual space.

Besides, I'm putting features favoring race-tired Miatas over race-tired S2ks.

When it's done, I'll send it to Jeff to post.

+1, except I'd have said it like Edward Furlong taught Schwarzenegger in T2....

It's not about confidence, we just don't post them that often, doesn't bother me one way or another.

I'm not going because the course map isn't posted!

yeah ok so I'm full of sh$t.

Have a good time guys. I'm actually thinking about fixing my Integra's issues (well the mechanical ones) so I can autox it again.

I would like to point out that ... due to the many autocrosses I have missed lately and 20-beer weeks (instead of maybe 8 ), I have gained 6lbs of pure fat.

I'm with you!! I would probably pick up a ½ second if I would drop about 20 pounds.

Hmmm... 2600 pound car, 150 pound driver, 250 hp (I'm probably guessing low on all counts)

2750/250 = 11.000 pounds/hp
2756/250 = 11.024 pounds/hp

Somehow, I think you'll be okay!

You could pretty much swap those last two numbers for me, 220 lb driver, 160 hp car.

I'm a 175# driver in a 106 hp car... don't complain to me!

kickslop · Postby **kickslop** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 10:40 am

Heh, definitely not complaining/excusing

I used to leave my spare in last year. Now it's out, but shrunken and around my waist.

3100lbs
166lbs
290whp / 335crankhp

Should be a good day Saturday, a little chilly in the morning but sunny and in the high 60's for the day. 8)
