And btw, what time do I show up for the tech inspection? And I'm assuming I'll need to bring water and lunch?

Lastly, I'll be leaving the San Jose area, by Santana row. Anyone caravaning?
Last time I went, I brought just a water bottle. I may meet up with you around 680 and 237 maybe? wouldn't make sense for me to meet ya at Santana row since its south for me.

You don't necessarily need to pack a lunch, there are places near by to grab food and there's usually a taco truck on site. Although, the taco truck hasn't been confirmed yet for this event. I'll be leaving from Berryessa. But I'll be leaving late as I don't need to be there before 11:30.
I see. Problem is I have no idea what run group I'm in! Sm?

Good idea. I wish I got into it before I started upgrading

If you're chassis brace is an h brace you're in FP, which is run group 5. You should show up the same time as Jourdan. You can choose to run in FUN FP and run in whatever run group you want. So you could go in the morning but you should be there by 8 at the latest then.

True story. When I first got into AutoX, I realized that all of my mod choices were terrible. I started with a super slow car in DSP. Then I took almost everything off and had a competitive car in G Stock. Now this year, I'm going back to DSP. But now with proper parts.

The chick magnet is still SM. You could run illegally in STX like you used to, just like a certain someone who ran a certain stock class illegally..... But you know how it goes, no one is going to do anything if you aren't beating them.

I'll just run SM. The car is no where near competitive. Old, skinny tires, blown shocks, dying motor, etc... Just want to throw the car around.

Truth. I wish I had started bone stock also. Learn the limits of a stock car before adding on new parts and learning the intricacies of each new addition.

If you want to run in class, you can be SM with my brother and a few 400+ whp Evos in run group 2 or T2 SM (a street tire only class for all *SP and SM cars) in run group 6 with Huck, Matt, Gagan, and Jourdan. If you don't care about running in class you can be in whatever run group you want. For run groups 1-3 you should be there by 8 to register, walk the course, and get your car ready. For run groups 4-6, you need to be there and registered by noon.

If newbies would like to shadow me, you are welcome to do so. I haven't been auto-x'ing for a few years now, but... I can kind of generally make my way through things. I'll be running run group 2 with the SM crowd.

I'd be more than happy to help you figure out your numbers, get registered, signed up for work, course walk, etc. Everything to bring you up to speed on auto-x'ing.
