That's the result of not sleeping. You do stupid things, like check te weather 1 month in advance. I've said it before and I'll say it again: clearly, school is detrimental to the human brain!

Re: SPC, Feb 18 - FAST Duel!
Pardon my frustration... I'm becoming (more of a) grumpy bastard in my old age.
Soooo many people have been asking me what seem like pretty dumb questions about this event. I say that because they're asking questions that are clearly answered in the event info/rules, which aren't hard to find (see first post of this thread... see the registration page on MAE... or just see here). Specifically, I'm repeatedly being told that people don't understand that they get 2 practice runs and that it's a double (NOT single) elimination tournament. SEE RULES 2 AND 4!!! (even if you couldn't be bothered to read ALL of the rules, surely you could read the first four?) Work with me a little, people! 2 practice runs + a minimum of 2 competition runs = 4 runs minimum.
Another thing people asked about was the course map, which is posted in some of the old 2008 threads... but the old links are likely broken.
So, here's the map. If you're having trouble grasping the concept, it may help.
Now that we've cleared all that up... go register, already! (if you're on the invitee list, of course)

Re: SPC, Feb 18 - FAST Duel!
I'm in ! Weather permitting.... and no, I'm not looking at weather forecasts a month ahead of time
, I should be driving Redgie on his very first autocross / autox . Just remember that Redgie will probably make some noise, but don't be concerned, he just needs to get use to being driven the way he is suppose to be driven.

I will probably bring both cars, just in case I need a spare.

Opening the floodgates to the first stage of non-members Monday. If you're a member and haven't registered yet, get on it! 17 slots remaining.
Oh, and I'm open for a co-driver in Fred if anyone's not registering for lack of a car (or a competitive car). I'm in S4, will probably end up lumped together with S5. Fred's got a decent chance of being competitive there.
