i would have signed up but i didnt know if i was busy or not. sucks

 

i know edwin lol

 

I don't understand the hype...

there are auto-x nearly every sunday from about 4 car clubs, but everyone auto=x ONE TIME A YEAR at this one...

-Gagan

 

More like others *****ed and forced the organizers to goto a pre-reg system.

Don't look at it as an autocross....since as that measure alone, it is pretty lame. Rather, look at it as a spectator event.

On the bright side, if you are one of the folks who does autocross regularly it can be quite an ego boost to go run this event and SPANK some cars that would be a whole lot faster than you...IF they were well-driven . I know my Impala SS got that reaction more than once in the past

 

That is true until some really quick cars show up! I remember there was a red beetle spanked everyone many years ago. I wonder what happened to that car, it was great seeing a beetle sliding around every corners, and it was long before anyone has ever heard of drifitng competition.

 

Nope

 

That old bug was driven by a very good driver (wanna say multi-time National Champ?), and was a bit more prepared than may have met the eye

Last I heard, the car was for w=sale and owner was getting out of racing...

 

Was that Jack Van Wettering in OSP ,Ed ? Talk about old school !

 

Yep, that was Jack...thanks, his name was slipping my mind

 

I was going to go, but a change of plans at work happened so now Sunday at 12pm I am flying off to Nashville then driving to Bowling Green Kentucky.

I hear the only things to do there are eat fried pickles at toot's, and see who can out-drink the Californian boy. :x

 

mcdrama : Well, there is also that little car plant in Bowling Green that happens to make the C6 Corvette...including the Z06 . And yes, factory tours are available.

National Corvette Museum is there too. Well worth your time and the price of admission.

 

sweet! I am so there!

 

well, back to the topic!

I will be there and planning to run in the afternoon, but the registration closes at 9am. From what I remember, people have to wait in line for hours to run.

Is it a good idea to get there at around 8:30am, have the registration done and then leave for an hour or so, then come back for the course walk at lunch and then wait in line and run in the afternoon? I am thinking to run in the afternoon will give me some advantage because the morning cars will sweep the ground clean.

 

i got to school at purdue university, now in cupertino for summer.. but i played against bowling greens hockey team once. that place is horrible.. nothing.. but..


.. well nothing..

 

so fun today!
