I suggested that earlier. We could try to meet on a friday at a resteraunt for food and drinks. I think most people are near the Base, but that means we cant have fun driving there together. Im suggesting Papa Doux (?). Great Seafood.

Hey Will,

When can we expect to see Race times.

JFroTurbo

that sounds like a good idea.. I wanted to try that place Papa Doux

Zeblien is the owner of the car... His name is Eric.

Hey Ocho, I've got the race times into my spreadsheet... have been a bit of a slacker in getting them over to the webmaster to be posted. Have been a bit unusually busy lately :-/

I'll get that emailed out to the webmaster tonight and hopefully she'll have it all posted in a couple of days :-D

Hey txag were they still going to post the time results from the last AutoX event in October?

txag98

Heya Stinger,

Yeah, the results should get posted before too long. Man, it's scary how big the delay has been on this one. Pretty much things have just been crazy and I finally just sent the raw spreadsheet to the webmaster... hate to burden her with having to manually punch in all that stuff, but I just don't see when I'll have the time :-(

Too much chaos in the past few months to really list it all, but we've definitely had a rollercoaster the last few. Looks like we're finally going to be coming up for air though soon. Any get-togethers / drives planned anytime soon?

Hey guys, for those that don't know, the first event of the year is tomorrow. Hope to see some of you there - warming up for next weekend!

I should have known it was tomorrow....rain is in the forecast...it had to be tomorrow!

How did the auto-x go last night?

NMOcho

It was fun minus the little bit of rain and cold. only two 8's total there .
Left early for some beer and food..

txag98

Sad to see so few 8's come out. I wasn't able to make it b/c I was out of town the whole week for a family emergency and got back saturday morning and promptly went to sleep ;-)

BTW, church auto-x this weekend... anyone going to be able to make it out?

I might not be able to bring my 8 this time... Dudley's out of town and he took his pickup, so it looks like I'll have to bring my $800 mean-machine S-10 to move cones around. Yarrr!

stinger

I am going to try to txag. Just not 100% sure. My youngest has a dance recital on Sunday and there is about a million and one things to do still. I sure hope to make it! Thanks for the reminder!

stinger

Well I will not be able to make it to the Auto X tonight. Unfortunately there is just to much going on this evening that comes first! Sorry guy's! I hope you all have a great time! See you next month!

txag98

So sad... not a single 8 made it this time... I couldnt' even bring mine b/c I had to take my pickup to get cones and whatnot :-(

There was an SCCA C5 Z06 vette there last night who had racing tires on his 2nd two runs after things dried out. Was sick how fast he went through the course... and this one was probably the twisiest one we've done.

I just saw a link over at RSW for another Auto-X over at Sagebrush Church for June 16th over on the west-side off Coors.

It's got a date conflict for the next Hope Church race date, guess Father's Day weekend is a popular date. They're also doing an auto-show that Sunday too it looks like.

I'll have to see if we can move the date for the one at Hope forward or back a weekend if I can. If I can't, I'll probably just cancel the June event and go to that one so I can drive ;-) Gotta find out more info first, but it should be fun, they have a much bigger parking lot than we have ;-)

txag98

Someone put up some vids from last weekend of a couple runs.

http://racingsouthwest.com/forums/in...dpost&p=691760

There's a loop in the track and a VERY tight back corner ;-) Probably too tight, but oh well... was the same for all.

stinger

txag98That looked like one heck of a WILD COURSE!!!!!! I wish I could have made it, but my kids dance recital was the next day & I had promised that I would help with the load-in, setup & then after all was done the tear down. Let me know if you are still going to have the one in June or if you are going to cancel it & go to the other one. I may have to join you! As it stands right now I am free that night. I sure hope things dont change between now & then!

txag98

Yeah, that was a tight course... but looked fun. Was scary how fast that Z06 went through it with racing tires...

They have a web page up for it now... I think the plan right now is that we're thinking to try and change our date, but if we can't then we'll just cancel and go over there for that one. If they're going to start up a regular thing then Dudley will probably coordinate with them so there's no date conflicts... then there could be 2 auto-x's per month ^_^ ... how cool would that be!

Here's the website, btw:

yah that zo6 was just stupid.... it was all fast and crazy... anyway good times.. i hope to see more rotary out next time

stinger

Hey txag98 any offical word as to if the church is going to have the AutoX this Saturday 6/16/07?

txag98

We've cancelled our Auto-X at Hope Church for the 16th to not conflict with the one at Sagebrush over on Coors that will be on the 16th. They have a huge parking lot and it's their first attempt. Rumour is that if they get lots of attendees they may make it a regular thing.

Soooo, we've pushed our Hope Church auto-x to the 23rd instead.

I saw in another thread that there's a rotary meet that afternoon. What better than to get a crew to head from the meet to the auto-x ^_^
