I really should look into the TT's. AutoX just doesn't fit the FX as well as more open stuff with longer turns.

Stu, I really think you'd enjoy the TT's. I had a blast....I might try to do both of these.

That corner 5 kinda freaked me out a bit cuz I was nervous I was gonna slide and hit that fence if I pushed it too hard. That's the corner I'm in in my picture where I hit that cone and it's flying up behind my car lol. Gavin, good shot btw lol

PCA is doing a TT the day before. I piggy back the TT signups with this thread.

If I get my truck working (I know it's +1 month away) I sign up. I'll likely stay the night an bring my camper (also if I get that fixed too). I'd also need to slap on the racing pads (damn everything needs work :/ ).
Sunday for sure, maybe saturday.

Ok all signed up for Sunday. New tires are in the garage and I thought I would have my car today but its looking like Monday.

Compared my new rs3 255 to my 245, each tire is 17mm wider so I am hoping for a noticeable improvement.

Scott, those look awesome !

I hope Sept. 11th is a good turn out.....I am looking forward to the AutoX.

Thanks guys,

I plan to drive around a bit to get a good heat cycle on them before the event. When tire rack heat cycles the tires they mount them on a roller and it heats them just from the sidewall flex. Then they let them sit and cool, all done. So I am thinking a short cruise down the highway go home and let them sit overnight should be close.

Its going to stop getting to 100 sometime? right? I am so ready

I believe we have 5. So it's up to Chris if he wasn't to bring his grill. Scott is already bringing the Dogs.

And we'll setup under the DRS Building patio again so long as noone already has when we get there.

I'm still waiting on the company to RMA/diagnosis my truck parts so it's still sitting Idle. I'll still sign up for the Time Trial if I get my truck fixed next weekend.

Yes I can bring my grill, and if this heat is still around....I will bring a Honda generator to power a fan.

So I will bring Chips, plates, and paper towels...with the grill also.
