Pay no attention to the raw times. :wizardofoz:

I was thinking about going to one of the Triad events in April. Do they not use myautoevents like it says on their website? Do you even have to prereg?

I have only prereged for one Triad event ever. It was a waste of time. They never "sell out", and get confused if you did preregister. That's not a joke. Just get there with twenty bucks cash and you'll be fine.

Any times >100.xxx are actually minutes and seconds so a time of 101.333 is actually 61.333 seconds...
It shows me 39.+++ sec behind Donna when I actually beat her by .004.
(Of course that was the run where she got charged with a cone from her previous aborted run, but I don't get to beat her very often so I'll take it, even just on paper.) :wink:

If it's the event at Danville that is one of the SEDiv points events you might want to preregister tho, it is likely to be capped.

Video of some Corvettes and a Mini. Courtney Cormier driving Rod McGeorge's yellow monster starts around 5:30, and includes another run. If you pay close attention, you can see John Shealley's Hair in the Morgan staging behind the Mini at 6:32. Ryan, you're welcome.

Someone's posted a revised Pax and raw order list on VMSC's forum. You don't need to be registered/member to view it. Might be a while before the entire results are recompiled unless someone steps up and does it.

After that results fiasco, it shows that VMSC needs to spend some $$ in order to get on track. $200 upgrade the version of Autoxware is cheap.

One thing that would help their program tremendously is dumping their registration person. I know she's the president's wife or something like that, but she's brutally slow and basically incompetent for someone who's been doing this for the 5+ years I've been going to VMSC events.

I hate to be critical, but I know for fact I am not the only one who feels this way. - AB

The solution is simple enough, just don't go to their events :-)

Their registration is the same no matter who is there...been there, done that. If you want to run VMP (maybe THSCC could go back), try NASA-MA. They have maybe 5,6,7 events scheduled there this year.

No, you're not.

NASA is ok, but they're proud of their events ($40). VMSC was $30 for nonmembers.

If you have the best site in the southeast and offer 6 or more runs per event, I guess you can command that kind of money. :lol:

VMP ain't cheap to rent. But it is good to see that it is available again.

It's on the radar, just like other more local venues. I didn't have a chance to talk with Felton on Sunday to get more information regarding 2008.

I don't know how everyone else feels, but I'd pay more to run VMP with TH. In fact, I think it would be *really* great if TH did a late-year TnT at VMP. Would be a big help for those going to Nationals, that's for sure.

That only benefits about 2% of the active THSCC AX participants :-)

And it has been rented by private parties for TnT before.
