October 24th 2009 SCNAX CUP is BACK!

[Michael Smith]

ah right. thx

[Art Rinner]

I have amended the SCNAX cup rules to accomodate co-drivers, see text in BOLD

[Andrew Bingham]

Missed that this was about the Oct 24th event because there is no date in the thread title... Have to say that I'm kind of bummed... My family (mom and 3 younger sisters) is coming out from VT for the weekend and I was planning to give them rides at the Saturday practice...

Saturday flyer updated with $65 entry fee (lunch provided).

Why can't you give them rides? It's not a championship..... heck many Cup runs are taken with the owner in the passenger seat giving tips to the team driver.

[Mako Koiwai]

I was going to ask about that ... so in effect we can have car owner/instructors riding during competition runs?

Andrew ... put your name on the list ... say you want to be part of a SCNAX team (Which I now see you've already done) ... and your family will get lots of rides!

Also X Runs on Sunday ...

I don't think we ever went as far as making a limiting rule, but it was expected that the only instruction you would receive on competition runs were from teammates, not outsiders. Passengers by definition are different than instructors (think championships), and as such are dead weight.... (or maybe counterbalance weight ) .... but along for the fun of the ride, not to provide instructions.

[Marcus Russell]

Get there early, work right away...then play all day... how can you beat that?


Would you like to work tech as your work assignment for 10/24 and 10/25? Do you think you can get to the track early? (No, Homie.. I mean early)

Do you enjoy looking at other peoples cars and scouting the competition? (Not that I've ever done that)

Do you have the ability to write legibly on a tech sticker? (not that it has stopped people in the past)

Do you look good in a pair of gloves? (I highly recommend you bring some gloves...sometimes there's fighting)

Well if you've answered yes to the previous questions then I have a job for you. This is the official open call for tech workers for the SCNAX cup and points race the following day.

Interested parties should respond this thread and indicate if you would prefer to work tech on Saturday or Sunday.

Okey Dokey, SMokey... I'll see you when I see ya...unless I see you first

[Mako Koiwai]

So far you can only get in to this event if you're on a team, correct?

[Michael Bradley]

Marcus, I should be able to work tech both days in the morning for sure. I'll let you know later about maybe doing the afternoons as well if needed.
You know me, always early. ;)

[Craig Naylor]

Saturday: Yes.
Sunday: No

[Timothy Aing]

Yes to all of your questions above. I'm available to work both days if needed. Thanks Marcus!

[Jonathan Lugod]

i am open both days.

[Collin Webster]

I did the championship event in December last year, Pro-Solo at El Toro in 2009, and... shoot, a bunch of practice events. I would guess I don't qualify, even if the pro-solo event was equivalent to more than one event in terms of number of runs?

On the other hand, I'm not a very experienced autocrosser, so I might be dead weight to a team. I do however, have more than one car to bring to the match, if an exceptions were to be granted ;)

'08 MazdaSpeed 3 - STU, Dunlop StartSpecs,
'89 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II - Fresh rebuild on almost everything
'02 1.8T Jetta - STX, Eibach suspension, bit tired Bridgestones

Kind of eclectic mix, sure to bring them to other events this year.

One of the reasons you have to list your last three events is to get your "handicap". Less experienced /high handicaps drivers can be a boost to a team if they happen to improve at the SCNAX Cup event. Novices are sometimes considered one of the winning factors. :ibrightdea:

I dont have any events this year... wonder if I can use my events from previous years...
it's a driver's handicap right?...dont think my driving improved since...

I agree. If you can provide your last three events thats fine as long as the times can be confirmed.

Thank you.

[Ron Tsumura]

I know this is late, but My son, Ryan, Bill Chin and I are interested in forming a SCNAX Cup Team. We have 2 RWD cars and a FWD car. Seeking someone w/an AWD drive car to complete the team. If interested, please contact me through this website (private message) or through the Solo2.com site.

You know you don't need to have more than two different car types? Is it that you want to drive an AWD?

[Lisa Severy]

Thanks, Ron! Guess I should have read the rules!

OK, so we are looking for another potential team member of any type. (RWD, FWD, AWD not too sure about Karts, though....)

[Steve Towers]

The Camaro? the C4?, and what is the FWD?

[Lisa Severy]

My 2002 Celica (automatic) on Azenis. Not "autocross" prepared, but way fun!

[Steve Towers]

Lisa,

If the rest of your group can put up with the (very) senior member from the former team "Viagra", then I'm game to give it a go.

Maybe I can get a seniors handicap!

If you'd care to respond by PM you've got my email address.

[Michael Bradley]

Marcus, will you be letting us know who will be helping with tech soon?

Hi Collin, were still looking for members, and need a FWD car. Both Ken and I have many years of experience. If you can find the three events of results for Art, we would be interested in having you join us with the STU car.
