Thanks man! It was pretty rough in BSP. We're talking nanoseconds between 1st place and the others. What can I say, I'm a pretty good driver!!

P.S. By the way everyone, I was the only one in BSP :D

From ER email:

Our next event, Summer's Heat, is to be held on Sunday, July 25th at the beautiful
Homestead Miami Speedway. Many thanks go to the hard working people of Equipe
Rapide for obtaining this new site. Last time an autocross was held there was many
years ago, but now, we hope to use Homestead for many events to come.

Online registration is now open:
http://www.driverregistration.com/ev...php?eventID=40

Registration will be open until Friday night, 11:59 PM EST, July 23rd. After that,
you get to show up at the event and wait in line. If you do preregister, PLEASE,
always print out a copy of your receipt. Bring it with you just in case of any issues.
It proves you've paid for the event (you wouldn't show up at the airport without
your ticket, now would you???)

Remember, if you pick an invalid SCCA class (like UNKNOWN), don't be surprised
to find I've placed you A-Mod cause I don't know what anyone has done to their
cars. While I'm sure it would make Norm Fucini very happy to have many new found
friends to run against in A-Mod, I don't believe many of you would want to go against
his Formula ford with the new and improved hair dryer (turbo) on that engine. If your not
sure what class your car belongs in, I recommend you visit
http://www.moutons.org/sccasolo/ as it lists a fairly current set of rules.

Please, be careful when driving to and from Homestead. The police are VERY
particular about speeding on "Speedway Boulevard" and nothing ruins a great day
of autocrossing starting off with a ticket from officer friendly. We always ask that
everyone be on their best behavior on and off the site and to drive safely, we
want you back for every event.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the new site. Remember, it's going to be hot
out and please, bring plenty of sunscreen, shade (tents, umbrellas, etc) and water. The
ER workers crew look forward to this new site and the fun it will bring.

Sincerely,
Carl Couric
(I'm not only the President, I'm also the nut behind the wheel of that Yellow slick laden
beast)

Unhappy Very Upset

IM very upset.......My car is in the shop for a new tranny. They said its my tranny, clutch and flywheel. So if I do race which I was going to I might race in the best car ever made...............A Chevy Calviler....


Now with my tranny I would try to put it in 1st gear (wouldn't go in had to force it) reverse I tried to put it in 5 times (no luck). Now everytime I depress the clutch it makes a grinding sound then a clicking sound, and I put have to double clutch to get into gear. Not fun at all.

well i will see you guys soon i cant wait.

Alex, do you have any 'extra' shirts you can bring with you? I want to buy a medium, but will wait if you have any on hand.

Talking I'll be there !!!

I am registered now. I had to use a different web browser to get the online reg to work right tho. I will be running in B stock again tho. If I make a change now I will have no chance at any season end award. If I stay in B stock I may have a decent chance at some kind of award ; ) currently second in the season points.

Just registered!....Gonna read through some old threads and try and pick up some driving tips, because while I've made a couple hundred passes down the 1/4, I've never done any type of racing that involves turns

great to have new people come out monzter. You will no doubt be hooked

Cyber, I'll find you a helmet loaner there (not mine )

I'll also be doing tech inspections in the morning so look out for the guy with the red shirt and a huge tach on the back of it ( tach inspector )
