I had not thought of that, but yes, that will be pretty cool.

White05, are you going to make it out with your video camera?

L8APEX

Does anyone know if we need to have numbers on the car for this event if we are going to run the novice class. I created my login today, and am going to register, just trying to make sure I have everything I will need.

uacolon

they provide numbers for you when you pay at the counter there

L8APEX

I saw on the reigstration that they provide numbers, but they have to be taped to the car. I was wondering if we could provide out own, to avoid the tape issue. Does the number you get change every race? Is the number out to the left of our name in the entry list the number that we will be assigned at the track. Sorry for the questions, first autocross event for me.

Well, I am signed up, 3rd 8 in the novice afternoon class. :D

uacolon

No I don’t believe it is. I signed up 12th person last year and my number was 15.
As for the tape I used some white vinyl that I got at a sign store which left no glue
Residue on the my black 8 it holds on really good

Has anyone received any more information about the dyno runs and where
it is located?

also can i bring a good friend of mine to do some dyno runs on his car even though he does not own an rx8?
or are we trying to make this an rx8 event only?

L8APEX

Add my name to the list for the Dyno day!

but just had knee surgery 2 weeks ago
i can walk and drive but not run
wich is going to be required to work the autocross
to pick up the cones

Splan8

Still waiting on location, hopefully get that today. Sure, bring your friend. I don't think anyone will mind having a "non-8" or two out there... Maybe we will make a convert out of them anyway.

oh man, I thought we were doing dyno day the weekend before (the AMS event)? I'm gone the next weekend....."sniff"

L8APEX

Is anyone planning on bringing an air pump to the Autocross event?

Just ordered a helmet, M2000 rated, so that should give it some time to be used.

I was reading over the rules for the Stock B category, once we have to move out of novice, and it looks like having the intake keeps us out of that group. Splan, what group would we classify under after that, it looks like the Super Street is more modified. Any ideas?

Splan8

There is usually an air pump there...

As for classes beyond stock:
STU class is next. Up against some steep competition car wise, but drivers in the class are usually just out of novice category because there is not a national trophy available for the class yet... You would also be wise to examine the street prepared classes too and consider running there...


What I mean is this:
I wanted to campaign a miata this year, working towards a first or second place finish. I looked at the stock class results from every 2004 event. As I was looking, I saw that CSP (intakes, exhaust, suspensions allowed) were always slower than stock classes. Every time by 2 or more seconds.

When I asked those in the know about this, they said that it is MUCH cheaper to campaign a stock car at a national level than a CSP car. Results are what they are, so I am prepping a CSP miata for regional only competition. Besides, I like modifying the car beyond stock.

Oh, and at nationals, there are always CSPs that are much faster than stock. We just didn't have many here last year...

Splan8

whenson417

I would like to add my name to the list for the dyno day but I need to check my calendar and see if a friend is getting married that day. Depending on the time of the wedding will depend on if I can make it or not. How long does an event like this usually last with say 10 or so people?

Splan8

I am not sure how long it will take, but we can all be flexible and I am sure you could jet out after you do your pulls...

If you have any interest in the Autox, you need to sign up ASAP to reserve a spot. Remember, you don't pay unless you race. But if you decide you want to race and there are no spots, you will be *out of luck*...

L8APEX

I can do andretti that night, hell i can do anything that weekend, I have it all to myself.

L8APEX

^^I agree, we need someone there with a video camera for the dyno day, and then one at the track to film the cars from outside the car. Makes me want a video camera.

Bought a helmet instead, that means I am hooked. :D

L8APEX

Sure does, I am looking at the August NASA event. I don't think a thread is started, but I am planning to do that one. I wanted to do the last NASA at RA, but I was out of town that whole weekend.

uacolon

i was planing on bringing
my video cam and tripod also
a digital cam

would be cool if others brought a back up in case

L8APEX

I am bringing a digital camera and tripod as well. I thought about bringing the SLR, but it is a pain to develope pictures these days.
