It's still funny as hell no matter how you sent it.

Send more. We can take it. I always want to get a head.

Hey Steve, PM me regarding a ride. Maybe we can work something out between morning and afternoon sessions, or just running in opposite groups in the afternoon, which is when we are signed up. Our tires are nearly gone, and we already figured this would be our last autocross on them, so what's one more driver? :dunno:

Oh, ho...Doug didn't mention that when he asked me to drive last weekend! Just so you know...Steve has finished more courses backwards than I have. ;)

At least you didn't spin out on a instructor run then blame it on bald tires. :grin:

FYI, the Early session is completely full, and there are only 10 openings left in the Late session. Registration closes at 6pm Wednesday. (we're not at Brooksville this time, so we don't have to close it on Monday)

Please advise what I need to do to get an authorized guest pass for Saturday Oct 11 meet a TBD. I have driven many autoXs at Brooksville with Florida Suncoast BMW CCA, but would like to check out TBDs as an alternative. Also would like to meet with a friend who is driving on Saturday so need access to the pit area. Thanks :) :)

Registration closes in 44 minutes.
Go to our Motorsportsreg.com page https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/fa ... hWn7_lVhBc and sign up as a guest. Doing so will get you access to the refreshments and lunch we provide. Or if you strictly want to watch, you may show up and watch from the spectator "lawn," which has a great view of the action.

To be a little more clear, you don't have to register to be a guest at TBD. (at Brooksville, you do because it's a closed and secure site) To watch or ride-along, you just need to sign the waiver when you get there.

Pre-registering as a guest just gets you on the list for lunch.

This is all spelled out in the event info:
http://msreg.com/FAST-Open-10Oct2015

And a little more detail about guests here:

Hello Greg. I remember riding with you when you had none of the above and still kicked ass.

Go Greg.

Lucky for you all I'm in charge of lunch.

A Japanese guy hired to scare you would just jump out and yell "supplies".

Happy Halloween.

So, how come we don't have WiFi broadcasting the timing results live on site anymore? Why was that short lived?

Because it was finicky, didn't work most of the time, only about 10 people used it, and we got tired of playing "tech support" for everyone who tried to use it but couldn't figure out how to get their device to not cache the page.

We'll revisit it again in the future. We've been considering some new software that will much better handle live results.
