03JUL04 Autocross!

[Ebein]

This is our first open event. So I can invite some friends
from work yes?

I have some WRX, Porshe 928/911/Boxter, Firehawk friends
here that like to talk smack!

As long as you kick their a**es. [:">]

Seriously though, you may want to ask Paul (AutoX chair) if it is OK.

At the risk of jumping in here (and not being autox chair), you can invite them. At a minimum, they can go for rides. I would imagine if their cars can pass tech, Paul would probably let them run. BTW, most smack talkers really can't drive an autox if their only experience is street driving[:D], but we can get them on the road to autox excellence!

Have we figured out how the equipment is getting to the track? I can empty my Tahoe and tow the Vette, putting the equipment in the back of the Tahoe to get it to the track. Where is the equipment now?

[Ebein]

I believe the equipment is at Mike S.'s house since he's been
kind enough to bring it every week. The best solution would
be for us to buy the trailer before the 11th and have it
parked at ODS so we dont have to borrow/rent a heavy duty tow
vehicle. We will just need someone to tow it across the
ODS property to our setup location.

[urtoslo]

So the equipment is already getting to the track this Saturday?

The equipment will be at the track this Saturday, will you? [:D]

J/K Andrej, you HAVE been missed the last couple of times. We were wondering if you were out fighting fires, etc.

Ralph was complaining that he didn't have any competition in IIG to beat up on him. [:))]

It is the weekend of the 10th and 11th that Ralph & I will be at Summit Point doing the NASA thing. I was wondering if you would be there instructing?

[urtoslo]

Yes, I am planning on being at ODS this Saturday, looking forward to it actually!

I will not be at Summit next week, going to a hill climb!

[:D]

[six_speed]

from work yes?

Yes, you may invite them but tell them that their car is subject to tech inspection.

[Ebein]

Ok, now we'll see if they have the guts to show up!

[six_speed]

OK. I'm getting very close to canceling this event. It seems that all the usual auto-x'ers are doing something else this weekend and that doesn't leave me much help. There is no way that I can put on an auto-x by myself especially if there is a bunch of newbbies there.

So, chime in if you are planning on attending so I can get a count of the help that I can expect to have.

Edit: I misread Andrej's post but I would still like to know what kind of help I'm getting this weekend.

[Ebein]

I'll be there, i doubt anyone i invite will show up they seem scared of the guard rails in the video I took.

[urtoslo]

I'm going to be there at 10:00am.[:D]

[janderson]

I'll be there. I can help set up and tear down.

[GT4me]

I'll be out in the middle of Lake Anna in a boat. So I am out. Not that you guys miss me, you just miss having someone to rag on, lol! [b-(] [:p]

[Black396]

Not that you guys miss me, you just miss having someone to rag on, lol! [b-(] [:p]

Awww thats only part true. [:))] We wouldn't rag on you thou unless we [:x] you. [;)]

So if you want to wimp out on us we'll understand [[-(]

[urtoslo]

OK. I'm getting very close to canceling this event.


Are we on for tomorrow?

[LilRedCorvette]

OK. I'm getting very close to canceling this event.


Are we on for tomorrow?

Last I heard it was still on. Probably gonna hafta miss it though...have fun![:D]

[Black396]

OK. I'm getting very close to canceling this event.


Are we on for tomorrow?

I just now saw Paul's post from Wednesday. I am ASSUMING that we are still on for tomorrow. I don't have my email address list of AutoXers since we changed email software this week.

Are we on or not?

Does anyone have one of my emails that have the address list left laying around? If so forward it back to me so I can get the list again.


If we aren't on then we need to get an email out to everyone.

[janderson]

I found an old one for you and sent it back to you.

Based on the responses in the thread we'll have at least 4 or 5, wichi means we will probably have our usual 8 or so.

I'll be there to run and to help!

[six_speed]

Are we on for tomorrow?

Yes, we are on for tomorrow. I got tomorrow mixed up with next week and thought that Mike was out of town. Then I got a bunch of e-mails from ppl saying that they are not going.

That is why I posted that I was thinking of canceling the event because I thought I was going to have to borrow Mike's Suburban to get the equipment out to the track. On top of that, I was thinking that most of the usuals wouldn't be there.

One person with Auto-x gear can not put on an auto-x.

I appears that I will have some help so the event is a go. [:D]

[Black396]

Paul has the laptops and is working them. I'm sure he'll get the times posted as soon as he gets them together.

[Akcelr8]

I just wanted to say how great it was to see Andrej and Mike Gyer at the track. Mike's car is one bad mamajama!!

Hey Paul, thanks for trying to get me into 1G but I'm afraid if I tried it at a points event someone might get upset...my car's 2G.[:D]

I'll change it in the system.

Thanks Ralph
