Default NTAXS Winter Autocross, 1/29/2012, Pennington Field

The North Texas Autocross Series (NTAXS), presented by the North Texas S2000 Owners Club (NTS2KOC), is hosting our annual Winter Autocross event on Sunday, January 29th, 2012 at Pennington Field.

Pennington Field is located in Bedford, the heart of the Metroplex, on the southwest corner of Central Drive and State Highway 183.

The entry fee is $30 per person and you must pre-register at http://www.dlbracing.com starting Friday, January 13th. There is no on-site registration. The event is limited to 65 drivers, so sign up early. Please join us for a great day of racing and fun.

The event will be cancelled if any of the following occur:

- Less than 34 people have signed up by 9 AM CST on Thursday, January 26th.
- At 9 AM CST on Thursday, January 26th, the weather forecast for the event date calls for inclement conditions. In general, we will be looking for less than a 30% chance of rain and a high temperature greater than 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Event cancellation will result in refunding each participant's money. Otherwise, standard cancellation rules apply.

You get eight runs at NTAXS events, so you will make four runs in the AM session and four runs in the PM session.

NOTE THE TIME SHIFT FOR VENUE-REQUIRED 10 AM START

8:15 AM – 9:15 AM Check-in, Registration, and mandatory Tech Inspection
(You must arrive in time to have check in and pass tech inspection prior to 9 AM)
8:30 AM – 9:45 AM Course open for walking
9:30 AM Novice Meeting (mandatory if new to NTAXS events)
9:45 AM Drivers Meeting (mandatory for all)
10:00 AM First car out
(Lunch and course-walk break between morning and afternoon heats totaling approximately one hour.)

Car Classing is based on engine size:
- Class 1/1R is for engines under 2.3 liters, except Honda S2000 and Lotus
Elise/Exige.
- Class 2/2R is for engines over 2.2 liters, but under 4.0 liters, plus Honda S2000.
- Class 3/3R is for engines over 3.9 liters, plus Lotus Elise/Exige.
- Class S2000 is only for Honda S2000 on street tires.

Rotary engine multiplies displacement by 2.0. Usage of forced induction multiplies displacement by 1.5. (This is in addition to the rotary multiplier, if applicable.) Tires with a wear rating under 140 must use the R class.

View the rules and additional information at http://www.s2000.org/nts2koc/autox.shtml.

For Winter Autocrosses, we use different courses for the AM and PM runs. The courses will be changed during the lunch break and participants will be told at the commencement of the lunch break when the course will be reopened for walking. We will also announce when the course will be closed for walking in order for us to begin the second half of the event. The course will be open to walk for at least 30 minutes. Your event performance will be based on a sum of your best time from the morning runs and your best time from the afternoon runs.

Just too much going on. I was surprised to see McShane beat Hiromoto. He's getting fast!

Do not forget that we enforce a 100 dB sound limit at Pennington. See section G-1 of our rules at http://www.s2000.org/nts2koc/autox.shtml for more info.

I would not worry too much about it. It's really has to be a loud car to break 100. You would not like driving it on the street. Worse case, you can jump in my Miata, if you're not afraid of my 100 HP.

Yep. One driver just has to drive in the opposite heat as everyone else in their class.
