I won't even notice that I'm accelerating until I'm half way through it.

Great course for a car with torque and a long second gear.

You sold that car, remember?

I'm sort of planning on going to see the most awesome $2017 cars in the USA do autocross for FREE. Then I'm DEFINATELY showing up in PM at Brooksville to show your young asses what I learned from watching people race cars costing less than my wheels and tires!!

It's like a Lornen/Ben extravaganza on Friday followed with beating the crap out of the Loren Mirage that costs a lot more than the Fastiva ever did

The Mirage has delightful air conditioning and I don't have to pull the engine out every other month. But, you bring what you got, Doug...

Oh I will. And it will be "delightful" doing it.

BTW. Thank you for the OMG extra long no holds barred Airport course. There will be no whining from the Miata vs V8 vs shitcans this time!!

This is a "driver's course" for sure.

I'll buy your dinner some Monday for this one.

Doug

Register. If you find you cannot beat an old fart. Ask him/her to drive your car or at least ride with you.

Fun is a simple rule. Why are you smiling? You will know why you are smiling.

Ask the Mayor and ride along. This week I'll be driving a mazda that has been recalled 14 times. Farm Truck put it in the dirt twice at the same event. He thinks he is "gifted" but I know he is a PIA. He can drive my car again with a $15,000 deposit. You can ride for free.

The Mayor

I've registered for this last minute...

I can't get Diane on the registration as a guest or non competitor.

You can't add her to your registration. You have to register her separately. Try that.

You know what happens when Farm Truck doesn't have to help put up a course as a worker assignment and doesn't take everyone's pix other than his own?

He destroys ES at SCCA events matching/beating top ranked drivers in other higher classes. Angela C. calls him the "gifted one" in print rain or shine and on the mike. She has not yet allowed he nor anyone else to race her new Honda R 306HP which appeared today. She did a 50.238 second run killing DS and Farm Truck did only one clean run out of 5 - Check out this:
52.612+1
49.820+4
49.850+1
49.002+1
49.850

I don't care who you are this man has mad skills in his (crappy) old car which he can never sell since it has been sprinkled with pixie dust and flies only over pavement for ONLY him. Look at that string of 49's. He won his class 3 times over even with the cones added in. Yikes.

Come out and run against Farm Truck's times in the OA and place wagers Oct 21st!! His winning time today was insane but that 49 flat was totally unreal. I don't think he can teach "fairy dust" but he can tell you where to find some I'm sure.

Come get dusted by Farm Truck. Sign up Monday!!! A really big shoe.

OK, signed up
Be nice to me it's only been about 2 years since I've autocrossed.

Sure, but you'd be able to change my tires in a flash!

And look at S4...16 entries! (Assuming I have my car back)

So it looks like the morning filled up and my friend is on the wait list. Is there a way to know how many are waiting so I can give up my spot (I'm doing a double) for him? Is it a better idea to wait until the final close on Wednesday in case somebody else drops out?

Postby **Loren** » Mon Oct 16, 2017 9:19 pm

The system lies. There is no wait list. There is never a wait list. Go to the Late Session, it's not full!

He can only do morning. Therein lies the rub. I'd be willing to give up my spot for him if necessary, since I'm already in the Late Session as well.

If you want to do that for him, I can make it happen.
