Re: Post Car Classing Help Questions Here!

Rules are fine, as long as they are clear and apply to everyone equally, which they absolutely are not, in my experience with this organization. When I tried to play the game, I got the royal shaft from king KJ....yes, I am bitter about it.

Re: Post Car Classing Help Questions Here!

No one ever agrees here... it is a cluster f***. whatever class letters you put on your car, there will always be someone telling you to change it. Oh, and don't bother to make sensible suggestions; the system is firmly entrenched. With my unclasifiable car, I just race with the other clubs, like PC...

Re: June Divisional

I would like to sign up my car in that event, but I don't see it on MSR, is there a different sign-up location? What is the typical cost for each day?

Re: 2012 El Toro Pro Solo 5/5-5/6

Can you sign up/pay for one day (Saturday), like two weeks ago, or do you have to pay for both days? and Is this a special Pro-event, not open to beginners?

Re: First time Saturday Noob..the good and the bad

Sorry,I thought I had made it clear; maybe you didn't see my earlier posts, regarding registration issues. I signed up my car, (to be driven by someone else). I sent in my check 4 days before the list was supposedly closed to new entries. I did not get on the list for unknown reasons, while others t...

Re: First time Saturday Noob..the good and the bad

Mr Christopher, or KJ, you treated me like I was a dog. No explanation of why or how long I had to stand there and wait. I even tried to talk to you later in the morning, and you made no attempt to explain what the problem was. I never attacked anybody on this board or at the event, and I was not at...

First time Saturday Noob..the good and the bad

Saturday was my first time at a Solo practice. Generally I had a great time, learned some things about my car, from some experienced drivers, and learned some things about how things work in this organization. It didn't start out so well though. I showed up, not knowing if my car would be allowed to...

looks like I didn't get on the list for Saturday. I saw that the list was updated for Tuesday then again Wednesday, I guess there is a chance it took over 4 business days for my check to be received. If I show up anyway, is there a chance my car can run if there is a cancelation? there are 102 peopl...

I checked the entry list and there is no one on it. this is what it said:

Looks like marginal weather Saturday. if it rains Friday night, is it likely there will be puddles on the course saturday morning; in other words, are there low spots that hold water? Just wondering, because if there is, can I bring a broom and try to dry it out a bit. I have no inner fender wells o...

Steve E, I think you entirely missed my point......which really had nothing to do with women drivers. Never attended a Cars/Coffee show......shows are ok, but after a couple hundred of them...............not.

I was going to sign up wednesday, just to make sure I didn't loose my money due to rain. My cars don't leave the living room if it looks like rain. So am I to understand that not only is there a 100 car minimum in order to have the test/Tune, but the maximum is also 100 cars? It doesn't say anywhere...

Leonard, So does that mean I can still run on Saturday, without doing Sunday too? Yes, I read the rules one night, back in November I think.

Re: Post Car Classing Help Questions Here!

In the old days, there was no such thing as Saturday practice or testing/tuning. I was not aware that just running on Saturday was any kind of problem. I was also not aware that there was no instruction available on Saturday. I assumed that both days were identical formats and proceedures, with the ...

Re: Post Car Classing Help Questions Here!

No, I wouldn't sign up for the Motor home jobs until I know the drill. Slips or grid is OK. Course setup/tear down works too. I don't mind a little work, just not to spry these days. I was only planning Saturday attendance, but might be able to do some work Sunday, if you're short. I live near by. N...
