whenson417

I think Crackers

L8APEX

Cracker Barrel at Delk and 75, 7:30 a.m.

And for anyone who has not been over to see Charlie and the gang at Mazcare, I would recommend it.

Looking forward to tomorrow, and the invite is open to all those that want to hit up Andretti that night. the other travis and I are in, should be fun.

Splan8

Had lots of fun yesterday, saw Trhoads at Andretti and we both did great! Very pumped up for the racing today. See you guys there shortly...

Autocross was great!!!

The results will be posted in the next few days to the boards.

I wish I had more time now, but thatnks to everyone for coming out and watching/running.

L8APEX

The autocross was a hell of a lot of fun. I have not had that much fun in a long time. Thanks to splan8 for riding with me and giving me some pointers. I learned a lot today, and really felt good about how I ran. This car handles so well, it makes it easy. I was dissapointed to see that I got a DNF on my best time, I keep going over that lap and can not figure out what I missed. Oh well. It was fun anyway. It was good to see everyone out there.

I will post the pictures that my brother took, probably Tuesday night. They are on regular film, so I have to go through the old fashioned developing process.

Now I am looking forward to the next one.

Splan8

I really like running in that lot. It has a kind of "city park" atmosphere to it.

Kurtbob, Nabil, Jamie and Trhoads pulled some fantastic runs. I was really impressed with how much improvement we all made to our times. leaps and bounds, really.

It was great to see everyone hanging out...
- Winblue8
- White05
- Valpac

(whoever was in the red RX8 did well too, 800 degrees?)

Anyway,
That was a fantastic day out... you guys did great and I am glad we all had so much fun. On a side note, I think I have 3rd place in CSP... 2 tenths off from the civic with the R compound tires. Wooo!



There is another run in a couple of weeks, check the site if you want to go again. Also, there is a divisional here in Atlanta that I will be going to as well as one in Chattanooga we are considering going to.

I didnt have a chance to look at the final results. I know my friends in the blue jetta got sixth and my sisters s2k placed behind them. I'd like to know where everyone finished though. I'm not even sure what number I was. It wasnt near the front I know that much. I think my biggest problem was I was having too much fun sliding all over the place to realize I was trying to beat the clock. Had a great time though and cant wait to do it again. Speaking of which, when is the next time we can do this?

Oh and that red 8 that was in the last group to race was great. He was pulling around 68s or something. Way to go whoever you are.

There was one black 8 that ran morning and he was interested in joining to forum. I told him where he needed to go and what to do. Hopefully Jeff, I think, will join us shortly.

-----------------

There is also a Street Prepared class you could fallinto but I am not sure which.

Anyway, it looks like your times were inside what the other classes were running, so that's great!

Splan8

Ahhh... second place could have been yours!

There are something like 12 events this year, with a few special races thrown in at actual tracks (little talladega I think). They have a new web site: http://www.soloatlanta.com/


The next autocross one is June 5th at TURNER FIELD and registration is OPEN. If you want to run novice again, please sign up ASAP!



Oh yeah, Nabil, you have run novice twice, so now you get to run with a class. Depending on your mods you will be in STU or a Street prepared class. I will be there again and hope to be even closer to first place in CSP.

Phlash

Nice shootin' Nabil.......Have a great Holiday ya'll!!! On my way to Myrtle Beach! WooHoo!!!

PS - I'm working the rockingham NASA event mid June and am pulling a 30ft trailer to camp at the track with sleeping room if anyone else cares to join....remember...credit toward track time.

Splan8

Cool video. I guess we need to sit the camera higher for the cones, though.

whenson417

Would you mind posting the link to the website to sign up for June 5th? Am I right to assume they will have a novice class again? If so I will see if I can't get a good time with the paddle shifters.
Thanks,
WES

Splan8

Yes, there is always a novice class. They also offer novice schools once in a while (well worth the money).


As for the link, here ya go... http://www.soloatlanta.com/

whenson417

The website is saying that the event is at Turner Field again? Is the website wrong?

whenson417

Does anyone know how to enable cookies on a computer? I am trying to register but the website will not let me do it until I give it a cookie. I apologize for being a dumbass.

Splan8

Whoops, my bad. It is Turner Field.

Splan8

I had hte same problem from my work PC and figured it was an issue with our corporate policy, but now i am not so sure.

Anyway, you can still use the old link:
http://www.joesvideos.com/scca_reg/

whenson417

What car class do I put and also is it safe to list all the accurate information and when is it ok to put bogus stuff to keep Mazda off my back about racing my car?

whenson417

Nevermind, I figured it out. Anyone else signing up for Novice afternoon?

Splan8

I will be there in CSP and will be glad to ride along with you/anyone if I am not also running at the same time.
