$40 bucks for one event? that's pretty steep.

Not really considering they are putting a cap on how many participants can attend. I'd say its pretty good. And you will deffinetly get more then 2 runs in unlike last year:rolleyes:

ASA just had a race this weekend and everyone got 5 runs. Started late but we still finished by 4.

PraxRX7
Yea well if you think $40 is steep for a full day event, but its not steep to pay $20 for a 10 minute go-kart race then ur nuts. (not to mention $40 for a 10 minute dyno run).

You will get a lot of runs, and with fewer people out there will most likely be fun runs etc.

typesly
too steep for me

PraxRX7
Your loss. More runs for me.

How long of a course time wise do you think it will be?

PraxRX7
I havent seen the layout, but we have the full airfield to use (same as the NASCC lapping events). So it will probably be anywhere from 1:30-3:00 depending on car and driving, maybe longer depending on setup.

WAY more room to work with then at the michelin tire warehouse (yay for 28 second laps!)

Its going to be a blast!

Here is a rough sketch of what the track setup at the lapping event was like last year.

Well, lets get the story straight. Is this an AUTOCROSS or a LAPPING event? Which is it on May 9th?

PraxRX7
this is an auto-x.

The track is the same one that the NASCC uses as a lapping track. So its a good size.

The cost for our club to hold a lapping event just wouldn't work at this point, the insurance alone for a lapping event is huge in comparison to an auto-x event.

MAY 9th IS AN AUTOCROSS.

The track setup (pylons etc) may be a bit different. But its the same area.

Wow, who brought out an Arcabaleno?:dunno:

Count me in look forward to meeting y'all:)

How many registrations so far, if you're looking at lap times in the 1:30 to 3:00 min range how many runs are you expecting each person to get. Are you running 2 cars at a time or just one, of course 2 staggered.

Can you buy a club membership at the autox? Then just pay $20 for the event. You have 3 events scheduled and I would like to attend more than one so a membership would save some money over a few events.

I'm expecting we are going to get a LOT of runs, as we have under 15 people registered. Probably as many as you want.

people better come to this or you will regret it. $40 is not steep. You will get lots of runs, and come out of it a better driver and have a better understanding of your cars capabilities. You don't even have to push it hard if you don't want to. Drive at your own pace and to the extent that you a comfortable with. It will be an awesome day. If you don't come, you won't have any idea of how much fun something like this is.

Thanks guys for a great event, sorry I had to bail Mother's day and all. Got in a ton of runs in the first half alone, well worth it. I'm looking forward to your next event.


Trevor thanks for the tips also. Great to meet you guys, everyone was very nice.:D
