Considering the SD Tour was so well-attended, I'm surprised to see only 200'ish entries for Atwater - with only 10 days to go. There must be others who have the same feelings (concrete vs. asphalt); tire-eating venue?

Jason, I was hoping you would come up...I'd like to repeat history and take down the current National Champ in class on my home turf, like I did in '05 in SS...heck, stranger things have happened 
The low turn out doesn't surprise me, too much. Since Nationals has gone to asphalt, the Atwater tour has been less relevant. Throw in our losing the Pro, this year, and the interest becomes even less...

I'm probably going to register for Atwater.....It's a hard place to convince my wife to spend a weekend....Go figure.
Of course, this will be my first autocross in the RX8 and I'll be on old tires, stock shocks and a stock exhaust.......I doubt I'll be much competition.

Matt, nope, Matthew is not flying out for Atwater. Our next co-drive is at the Packwood tour and pro.
Mark, if you run BS, make sure you have your car set looser than you might think you want it...

Anyhow, I think it is going to be a Frank Stagnaro course (fast) and entries are now over 230.

Or I can spend a bunch of money on gas and get to stay in a crappy hotel next to the train tracks in Merced and run on concrete.
How about I drive the Lotus and you or Sean codrive with Mike.
