Please PM or email me if you're interested- let me know which shift you would prefer and whether you've worked Tech before or not. C'mon out and wiggl...

Re: Watch Those Tire Pressures !

I believe that was a ladies' school car, and being that I didn't work tech on saturday, I am free and clear nonetheless! Thankfully nobody's found anything that I let slip by accidentally on Sunday... Yet. Just don't look too closely at too many of Mako's pictures. :mrgreen:

Re: Watch Those Tire Pressures !

Snap-on hubcaps are supposed to be removed and should be verified at tech. Hubcaps that are bolted on along with the lugnuts (like this one, if Michael is correct) are OK AFAIK.

Re: Need Tech workers for this weekend

David,

I'm in the first run session, just like Kurt, so if you need someone to fill in for that second shift with him you can put me down.

I haven't worked tech before, but I'm tech chief for the December event, so this opportunity would be welcome!

Re: Ladies School Combined with the Practice

Look into my eyes Davin! You're NEEDED at the GATE. You're getting sleepy. Very sleepy. When I snap my fingers, you will be immediately fully alert and will proceed energetically to a Gate shift. 8-) Ed, don't think I'm ignoring you! The not reason I didn't volunteer is because I (and you, I think!...

I was slated as tech for the Ladies School, and I hereby volunteer myself for wherever I'm needed for the Practice. Just let me know.

Re: Ladies School Coming - Need More Instructors!!!

Lisa, I meant to talk to you yesterday but as the day wrapped up I forgot to! :shock: I figured I'd post my question on the forum in case anyone else has the same one. I'd like to come and volunteer on Saturday. Since I'm new to the club and haven't been around for one of the Ladies Schools before, ...

My third run of the day. 63.024. My first event ever! I took pretty poor lines into the turn after the wallom and the final turn before the end. Critiques welcome.

Re: September Event

Thanks to Theo and the whole E-board and all the chiefs. This was my first event and I definitely didn't realize beforehand all of the work and prep that goes into making it happen. Definitely an eye opening experience and it's a real testament to the team in charge that both days went so smoothly. ...

This will be my first event ever, so I will need to be told what to do, but I'll volunteer. I do have a full SCCA membership. I'm running SK2, which is in the afternoon, and from what I understand there will be a novice meeting/course walk at lunch in addition to the morning one? If that's correct, ...

Re: September 25 Registration Open

Same question as Cam, plus another one: there was no option to pay online. Do we just pay at the event?

Sorry if this info is posted somewhere... I looked around and couldn't find it. Thanks for helping out a noob :)

Re: Newbie to AutoX

Thanks for the input guys. I think I'll use the "No Club" option and wait and see where I end up. And SK2 seems like a good place to start.

Looking forward to my first event. I wish I had been able to come last weekend... now I have to wait a whole month!

Newbie to AutoX

Hi, everyone. After years of wanting a Miata as a weekend fun car, I finally bought one last month- a brand new 2011. I've never autocrossed before, but it's something that's always interested me, and I expect that my new toy and I will share many weekends tearing around parking lots! I would have c...
