Wow, as of this writing, only 13 folks have signed up for the last driving event of the year . Come on, get with it! Should be a great event!! The points race is over and this is the time to come out an have some fun. Bring out that "other car" you've wanted to drive. I was going to bring the 528, but talked a friend of mine at work into co-driving w/ me, so the 3 is back in action for one more event this year. Should be interesting since he's never autox'd before.

Get off your duff and sign up!

In.

Kind of got out of the habit with the pre-paid entry fees starting at the beginning of the year.

That's mostly because for the longest time it said Nov. 2 and Sanford, and I was waiting until things seemed more solid before signing up.

What's left on the Mazda 3's tyres after Sanford will just about last next year's test and tune to figure out how low we can really go on the front pressures. So we'd run the non-points on street tyres, and the Trans Am will be more fun to slide around than groaning about understeer.

So as of right now we're planning to come and do FS on M+S all-seasons. Let's have a nice dorifto turn-around!

Well I can't go on the 9th :cry:

Mr. Blackberry Pearl and I sure are having a lot of fun learning about Routh Stability Criterion, though!

Who's setting up &/or staying Saturday night? Thinking about spending the night to increase the fun factor. Just a simple day of autox sounds too boring, given prior experiences in Danville.

:D

Debbie and I are planning to be there. I just don't know which car yet..... The Miata needs the V710's to compete in CSP. but they don't fit in the car. (Maybe if Wes doesn't show :wink:) We may just run the 328. It's fun, just not as much, plus the BMW's Azinis are almost bald.

Maybe. Or maybe Lone Star. Those rolls were tasty, and so was the Skip Jack. :D

We went to the BW3 in Knightdale last night. Mmmm... wings & beer.
