Been auto-crossing on and OFF for a while now, yet I find myself driving more OFF than ON.

I think it's usually PAX, unfortunately for me I won't stand a chance running in D Prepared lol. If Austin wouldn't be a slacker and would have bought good tires for his Fiesta we could have run it.

What size tires do you need?

We only need a couple more people to synch this up.

The problem is the odd ball wheel bolt pattern of the fiesta most likely. It can run 205/45R16s though. The bolt pattern is 4-108. Stock wheel size is 17x7, so it really needs a set of 16s in order to run any decent tires.

Alternatively the ecoboost focus can fit 225/45R17s on the OEM 17x7s, I was tempted to buy Matts set he had recently. Not sure it would be particularly competitive but it is a HS car, so it had good PAX potential.

Liz and I will be there to try and get last and second last position in CSP!

Damn folks with their non-daily drivers and hoosiers!


Edit: What is the deal with the attendance being so low this year?

Mostly due to being 4 hours away from most of the autocross clubs I suspect. I just view it as we're going to get more runs, and gives us a fighting chance at the club cub.

You take your two fastest times for each day and add them up. It should be fun, but I have no one showing up in our class, just Bernard from triad. Its not a fun class with just two cars and three drivers. I found out that club cup is based off of top ten pax times for each club added up.

Our whole family is going. We'll have 2 days of Autox and 2 days of vacation in the mountains. What could be better. It would be great if we had more THSCC members in attendance. For those who are procrastinating, get off of your butts. Don't make this a “Clash Moment”.

I'm going up with Rob and Steve in the Vette. should be a blast. The other reason it is low is because CCR will only run if the event is held at Zmax and if you use their sanctioned course design and make sure that you do the proper amount of groveling to them. Oh and make sure to chalk all the course so they know where to drive. Absolutely no stop boxes allowed. :twisted: If you want to go register and come out. We go to have fun and meet some of the nice folks from the other clubs.

I'm going. My RE-71Rs are wearing quickly (as expected, sadly) but still have enough tread and don't seem to have fallen off pace. Either this event or our next points event will probably be their last though. I don't have a codriver, so if you're on the fence about going and need something to drive, send me a PM.

If possible we should try to all pit together.
I’m staying at the Comfort Inn, got already someone to share the room with.
