That's right! Autocross is 08% driver and 02% car. But what about the other 90%?

I thought it was tire pressure or is it lack of tire pressure

Please someone, I'm still looking for a volunteer to pick up marble dust from Seminole (area near St. Pete) before the event. I need two bags and they weigh fifty pounds each. I physically cannot lift that weight. Will someone please step up?

Thank you,
Joe

Contrary to the apparent popular belief, once you're within +/- 2 psi or so of ideal, tire pressure really only makes up about half a percent.

Related to the March Driver's School - if you are attending in February we will try to meet for dinner after the event to discuss details for the upcoming school. Please bring ideas and suggestions for improvements based on past events.

I'm sorry to be such a high maintenance pain, but it's looking like I can't make it to the 2/12 event. Could I please get a credit for my next one?

Apologies for the trouble.

I can take over Chuck's spot and his timing job. Jamie, if that works let me know, I'll just bring $$ to the event, or could pay Chuck instead.. whatever works.

I may have to monitor timing once to remember everything since I haven't done timing in a long time.... :(

Walk-on's are first come first served. No walk-on has ever been turned away, but that doesn't mean that it can't happen, so get there early. </Native>

It's only high maintenance when you make me do it manually instead of cancelling your entry yourself, as you could have done until just a few minutes ago. :evil: Then Dave could have taken the resulting empty spot.

Chuck, yes, certainly an event credit. Dave, get there early, and there should be plenty of room on the list...there usually is. I have more than enough volunteers for timing, but by all means audit a session...it's a new system.
