Cal Club Autocross Forums

I miss do the pro-solo's, so I would like to attend this year. I'm looking for a ride. It doesn't have to be super competitive car, just somewhat prepped for the class. In fact if your a newbie and would like to try a national event, but are a bit intimidated by the whole thing, I would be your perf...

I keep trying to get you to come out, if you want it the seat is yours.

i openly admit that being in the two driver lane is an advantage. I'm fighting against adding even more complexity to arguably one of the most difficult jobs we have to negate something that I don't see as a competitive factor. I guess you were for it before you were against it. In one sentence you...

Just a point, if being in the two driver lane is not an advantage, then why are you fighting so hard to keep it. I have demonstrated that we can do things differently and not affect event quality or length of time running. Whats the problem with leveling the playing field?

Just to make my position clear, this is what I am proposing: 1: X runs are run at the end of the run group, not during competition runs. 2: Two driver cars must alternate drivers and second runs for either driver can not be made before every other driver in the run group has completed their first r...

If twenty of the forty cars in a group are two-driver, we don't really have this issue. Let's look at this numerically: 40 cars, 60 drivers. As it currently runs: 20 two driver cars go out, two lines 10 cars each. One single driver line then goes. 2 driver line goes again, under current rules it co...

How do you propose to change the protocol for extremely hot days, when it will be to your disadvantage to go out frequently?

Mike

Mike the proposal is to even out the time between runs for everybody. Not have a built in advantage for one group of drivers.

[quote="Marshall Grice"]so your proposal is to make sure that multi driver cars alternate drivers? I'm not really sure I see the unfair advantage to taking two runs in a row (they should still have to wait approximately 5 mins)....the single drivers take all of their runs back to back. eve...

Also, X-runs already have to be run at the end of the heat if they are being taken in the same heat as competition runs. And if they're not taken in the same heat as the competition runs then who cares when they go out for runs? When X runs are run in the same group, you get into the two driver lin...

Well.. at what point do you stop. Actual fairness pretty much requires a national style grid with 3 grid workers, pregistration only so that printed grid sheets can be made up. you could add sweep in there too. Stopping half way seems kinda arbitrary. Your not thinking out of the Box Aaron. You jus...

Sucessful events is what comes first. How you get there is debatable.

An event cannot be successful if 3/4 of the participants are not treated fairly.

Marshall at Nationals you will not get your second run until everyone has completed their first run. The advantage is that the second driver will get to have hot tires on their first run. Still applies here. and the disadvantage is that the single drivers will still be waiting 15mins between runs a...

running the 2 driver lane twice as often as the single drivers is exactly how nationals does it. If you're a single driver car at a national event you get 1 run about every 15 mins. where as the multi driver cars get runs about half that. It is an advantage to have more than one driver in the car.....

An alarming trend has been creeping up at the events. The two driver lines are now out numbering the single driver lines. I just spent a very frustrating day at the event. Things were great weather was cooperating. Then all the good vibes went away once the third run group started for me. The third ...

And Lots of Money. Parts are not cheap for this car.

What many of you may not know is that if it wasn't for Renee there would be no SCNAX. Back in 2001 in my first year of autocrossing, I joined NO$ and became friends with Renee and Craig. I was crazy for the sport and attended every autocross I could find, BMW, Corvair Club, VW Club, San Diego and LA...

So, the numbers for SK1 look like this: -------2011--------2012 SS 0.83986 -> 0.84084 AS 0.82418 -> 0.82712 BS 0.82222 - >0.82614 That's exactly what I was looking for. Looks like SS got a break. I usually never stay around long enough in one class to know what's going on. :D Next year might be dif...

If this is for Saturday only, I will volunteer to be your assistant chair.

Except its an Owl, not an Eagle.

There is an inherent difference in teaching styles and communication between men/women. We train people where i work all day and I see this first hand very often between our male/female trainers and their interactions. If I may say, there's no ill will intended in the decision to have women instruc...

How about a Z car?
