I love that we're selling out events. I hate that it means some people aren't getting in. :(

I'll try to let you know if there's a cancelation. Sometimes openings come and go before I even see them.

That's on me. I used to wait until deadlines to sign up and this year I'm barely getting into events almost two weeks in advance haha, it's great for the club!

Although I will be super pissed off if I cant get into a points event :binky:

BIG favor to ask. Can you schedule my Dad and me for an early crew work assignment (e.g. tech) and also in the first run group? We need to leave by 12 if at all possible. Otherwise, I'll have to cancel our registrations. Thanks bunches!

Can do, but put a note on your registration so that I don't forget.

There is.

And I thought I'd already posted it.

Okay, I guess I did upload it. I may have even done that before I went on vacation! I just didn't post it here.

Here's the course!

The finish section is highly subject to change. Maybe a little tighter slalom. Maybe a little more space from that to the finish. Maybe more straight area after the finish. Whatever feels right.

Actually you totally lucked out. I have never EVER cancelled an event. I had 2 spots with I and my daughter and MA flight ruined the event for us. So Uncle Loren saved your butt once again. You should let him co-drive your car!! Looks like an awesome course too. :smack:

S5 class-Miatas? I have noticed 2 entries for S5 being Miatas. I have added a switched from a Miata to a Camaro in S5. I have tested both a 95 3.4 liter with a auto and a 98 5 speed car this weekend at the Corvette Club test and tune.
Thanks,Bruce

I haven't reviewed the entries for this event yet. If there are obvious errors, I'll usually catch them.

Friends don't let friends drive crappy automatic Camaros. Get the 5-speed. :thumbwink:

Hey I autocrossed an automatic V6 third gen for years before I finally gave in to the way of the Miata! Just keep it in "2" and you're good to go :cool:
