yep -- if they've got slots (usually everyone shows on sunday, but saturday is pretty open, as sunday is the only day that "counts" towards division/regionals) -- you'll have to pay $25 i think for late registration, something like that.

It looks like I won't be able to make this event since I'm hosting a bbq today. Definitely take some shots and post them up.

today was pretty fun... very technical course (i was all over the place with the new sways -- finally figured it out by run #5, but probably needed one or two more to really nail it)

tomorrow will be even more challenging as it'll be the same course only in reverse, so instead of a long, widening 720 degree loop it will get tighter and tighter!

i didn't snap any pics, but if someone did and needs hosting space, PM me.

yeah, and i got 100% sunburned (even though it was cloudy, arg!), i'm crispy like a potato chip now.

props to roark, who i think might have had one of the (if not the) fastest PAX times of the day!

I'm burnt to a crisp too. I had a great time, definetly worth the 8 hour drive
I actually think that mpowers had the fastest car time of the car, I'm sure he was the fastest Z though.
Machupo-you did really well this weekend, especially for street tires, that's where you need help, get race rubbers Speaking of which, thanks a lot for the Victo's Driverdog! And I'll be after you in August, so you better look out!

IIRC that was a pretty fast run w/ the surprise ending?

if you need space, just shoot it to my gmail account (nicholas.talbot@gmail.com) and i'll put it up on my domain for you.

take care, and glad you got back to GA in one piece

Yeah only had one tire seperate (should drive slower than 80 I suppose) and one valve stem crap out on the trailer. Good thing I had plenty of spares since I went threw 3 in 1400 miles.
Once I figure out how to down load the disc to my computer I will email it to you. I think Mike has some Video to but have not seen the footage yet.
Let us know if you would like to do that track event we talked about. Jim R. has all ready reserved and several other from the Tidewater area are likely to attend as well.
Oh and did I say there is an autocross the next day at Reobling as well?

Arg! The car is getting a bit different fluid for the rear end this friday, switching from MT-90 to Redline 75W140. Can't lower the lockup% without rebuilding, though... doh! When the engine is going in, i'll see if those guys can drop it down to 60% or so when they put on my new forged halfshafts

It was a lot of fun Saturday and Sunday at autocross. What a sight to see so many 350's auto-xing. Good representation of BSP and BS with both guy and girl drivers. Within the 350 group Mike Powers was fastest both Sat and Sun. (amongst the guys) and Caryn was fastest on Sat with Sheila on Sun.(for the girls) .

Looking forward to playing in your "backyard" in August at Roebling Rd.

Nick, for the ACU4 event I'm bringing the wheels that Mike Hill used for you to see what your times can look like with some good rubber. PM me if you decide not to go so that I don't needlessly handle.

Thanks,

Jim
