P.S. Shawn and I will be there in my B-stock RX-8 (#90/#190). See you folks at SGMP!

Should get to meet you there Chiketkd. The guys have convinced me to finally travel to a few events this year. Hopefully I will be able to keep improving in STU.

Cool - I'll be hanging out with Disimo & Ruggles from your region. Come on over and introduce yourself.

Link to entry list is now active. Looks like many people (myself included) are having problems with the online reg system. Only IE seems to be working.

Looking forward to it!

I can't sign up. I'd like to do it before I go on vacation, but so far no luck.

The newest version of IE seems to be giving people the least problems.

Alright - I'm registered.

I haven't used a Windows system in years. I guess I'll sign up when they make it not suck.

Registered!!! Wish it was sooner. The damn RE-11s should be great, but unfortunately, I will be trying out the Kumho XS's that I just recieved yesterday. Considering neither Kumho or Dunlop pays any contingency money, I wish that I would have gotten another set of Dunlops.

Registered. I hope to not be the lone entrant again this year in ESP. :unamused:

No, I'm bringing a friend with me who is developing an ESP WRX. He'll be happy to have some competition, and if the weather's crappy, you guys should have a good advantage over the Pony Car boys!

When did they annouce the 09 contingency programs? Links?

I'm betting Kuhmo announced theirs about a day or two AFTER he placed his order! :devil:

There were no pony cars last year. Jose and myself were the only two entrants (same car) in ESP last year.

Have your friend go ahead and register! :D

Are you going to have a co-driver this year Phil?

Not as of now, open to considerations...

Me me me waving arm in the air.........

actually I have some freshly aquired I-Speed power so I want to beat me some civics

I'm having trouble registering. Keeps asking me to pick an event fee when I already have.

^ Ryan, do you have Internet Explorer? If so, try registering on that.

Yep. Already took care of that...bah humbug.

Hmmmmmmmmm.....drive my own (FSP car) or Cockroach a ride with Phil????


Bill

Bill, I'm going to join the obnoxious colored wheels club before Dixie :P.

Not as of now, open to considerations...

If I weren't set on running STU, I would definitely have liked to drive with you Phil. As for STU, I hope lots of people sign up, and I hope I drive well.

Bill, I'm going to join the obnoxious colored wheels club before Dixie :P.

sueeeeeeeeeeet...What color???? Purple???? Blue????
:lol:

He tends to drag his feet about registering for events, but I am pretty sure he will make it. Another local guy, the one who ran a SM Thunderbird Super Coupe in several NT's last year , is putting together a CTS-V in ESP trim (yes, yes, he marches to the beat of a different drummer!) and might actually be pretty fast. He is planning to make the trip as well.

So I'm doing my best to hook you up with some ESP competition. How about sending me some BSP guys, so we can make a class for contingencies?:disco:

I hope you bring yours. I am currently planning on being there myself. That said, if they don't fix the registration system, this season will be a lot less eventful for me.

Find me some light-ish 18x9.5s for a decent price and you've got a deal. ;)

CTSV in ESP? Is that right?? (runs to rule book)

Working on two BSP STi's here in Jax. Nobody is biting as of yet though...will poke their ear this Sun at our first event.

Son is quick! They were both there last year IIRC...

I might be there in ESP, but, have to buy a car first, lol

Which year would be better for ESP 07 or 09 for a WRX?

sueeeeeeeeeeet...What color???? Purple???? Blue????
:lol:

Bright orange! Think Porsche RSR/Safety Cone orange.

Bright orange! Think Porsche RSR/Safety Cone orange.

nice...although its been done..;)....McCance did Safety Orange on his RPF-1's...looked great...definitely stands out...:)

Bill

Yeah, that's the goal here...haha.

Between sponsor stickers / contingency stickers, I'm going to be driving around the most ricetastic Mazda3 in town. Makes it even worse that it's a stock class car, that appears....well...stock.

I'm game for a cheap HS or FSP ride.

ST class is up to 5 already

I think you need a codriver :devil:

James, we can arrange for a co-drive, if you want. Contact me outside of this thread if you're interested. I may not get back to you right away as I'm on vacation at the moment.

He's talking about minimum participation numbers for contingency payouts. The more participants, the more places will get something typically.

I was asking Bill about his comment in bold, I do already know about filling a class up for contingentcy (lucky if any of that will happen this year), which was why I posted ST has 5 already. Please don't take this post as being smart ass, I am still somewhat a n00b. this will be my 3rd NT event

Dave

No worries - I just didn't notice the part in bold. I figured if you edited it at all, you'd edit out the part you weren't replying to.

That said, I'm registered now. I figured out where I could get a chance to try IE7 on the site. I'm on vacation in Hawaii, but I VPN'd into my work network, VNC'd into our Windows virtual machine our webmaster uses for IE testing, and registered through that. It worked. And I've given an earful to the registrar and IT person listed on the SCCA website about how pathetic it is that people are required to use a second-rate, insecure browser to register for an event.

Now, I just gotta get down to the middle of nowhere. I'm sure the 20 hours will just fly by with no stereo, no AC, a deafening exhaust note, and aluminum race seats. Woohoo!

Dave...Dave....Dave....I was merely stating that you and Mr. Wilson would make a interesting diving combo...thats all...RELAX man....sheeeesh...

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh Neil is registered...wahoooooo

How's the weight savings coming along Dave? Have you weighed your car recently? If you want to beat the civics - weight needs to be a priority.

Btw, as you ran the Dixie event last year, you know the type of course that will be laid out at SGMP. From folks that run there all the time with the Dixie region, the courses on that lot don't vary too greatly. Definitely set your car up for transitional elements/offsets (that's where the civics are deadly) and maybe a tad looser than normal to keep understeer at bay.

Bill I had no doubt you had very good intentions(Always) I just ment how would it pan out in your mind?? dang I should have just PMed you

I have the biggest respect for all of you people here, and would love to learn from all of you.

I don't see much to save legally so I went with the few extra HP I could get to start with.

Yes the course is very busy and Fast but my car is Very neutral now and I have some new Bridgestones and have learned alot at some bigger lots we have locally (Michelin Proving Grounds, Carowinds). But I am always open for input. Thanks

I'll talk to you through pm/e-mail. You need to be right on your minimum weight at Dixie and every national event you attend.

Hey I'm not the greatest driver, but my co-driver is better than I am. I told him when we started our co-drive partnership that I was going to give him a car that was capable of winning. At Nats my car weighed 2,830lbs which put us at one of the lightest 06+ RX-8's at Nats (if not the lightest). There's a lot of weight to be saved, it may not always be pretty though...

Thanks I am always open to help. I can say one thing about the reflash is I am still pulling over 6k now :banana::banana:

Read the rulebook. Practically memorize the section about your class. Then interpret what "x" allowance really gains you. *SP rules allow a lot more weight redux than I even realize at this point...I sure ST is the same for you at the moment. People looking over hollis cars usually come away with several more ways to make their car lighter in very short order..

Dave, read through this thread (especially posts 6 & 7): ST 2.5RS Weight (http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1129591)

I imagine you'll need to keep your a/c in that car for '09, but if you still have the stock seats, a good target "racing weight" should be 2,700lbs flat. Corey's car was in the 2,650lbs range.

I guess the best place to start is weigh my car and post tomorrow. Snow in the morning :devil: Thanks everyone for your input, I take it any Battery that starts your car is acceptable.

Video: Personal best at Axis vs Allies Dec 2008 at Dixie Region's SGMP (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvs3FRCyG4U) for anyone who would like to see a non-NT course at SGMP.

Done and Done...:)...BTW that was me who sent out a facebook Schedule....:)

Bill

Correct - you need to know what she weighs now and work from there. Ask my co-driver, I weighed my car at every NT and pro solo we attended in '08 as well as at Nats. I did little things like take out all my cd's, remove the front license plate frame etc. to legally drop weight. It all adds up...

Correct. I'm sure many can give you advice on some lightweight batteries to use. Braille batteries come to mind but they're others that work just as well. One thing, with a lightweight battery, be sure you have a strong battery tie down or else you will not pass tech. If you cannot get one fabricated between now and Dixie, keep the stock battery and shave weight somewhere else (racing seats, etc).

He was just talking about my calm demeanor and uncanny ability to whomp arse while flying under the radar....right? :)

I am weighing driving vs flying costs now, plus any codrive costs that may be incurred. I need another job :(

Bill, it looks like Jinx is laying claim to FSP #193.

James, you need to see if you can talk Trey into bringing the Subie. He told me no, we need more people to prod him. :)

Bill, it looks like Jinx is laying claim to FSP #193.
LOL. Bill had the 93/193 number first. Looks like Jinx needs to change his number...or maybe offer Bill a co-drive? :p

I guarantee that if you guys leave it as it is right now, when you go to check in, Jinx will have 93/193 and you'll have to choose something else.

Just saying. I generally get 34 in whatever class I'm running if I want it for the same reason.

Do you mean that you usually get 134 to ensure that you get 34?

Oh man. My heart jumped a beat thinking I snoozed through registeration again. Until I read the next post. Nice one. :LOL:

Does anyone know if the problems with the reg system have been fixed? 59 registered as of 9am this morning is not inspiring...

Registered. I hope to not be the lone entrant again this year in ESP. :unamused:
Your wish is answered - you have another competitor!

We still have two months. I'm not sure if we are really off pace.

Your wish is answered - you have another competitor!

Only 3 more to go! :)

ROFLCOPTR! :lol: Are they trying to keep people out of this event?! :rolleyes:

Closest airport to the event site, other than the county airstrip? Need to fly in from Houston. Thanks.

Nevermind, found Hou to Valdosta $407 r/t...or $218 r/t to Jacksonville FL. Hmmmmmm.

Closest airport to the event site, other than the county airstrip? Need to fly in from Houston. Thanks.

For regular commercial planes, you're looking at Jacksonville or Atlanta. If you are going small, then Valdosta has an airport.

Then I'd have to hitch a ride, or get a rental car from Jacksonville to Adel, GA about 144 miles. Not sure if I'd end up about the same cost or not, but saving $10 in the end is actually worth it to me now that my job sucks :)

Edit-- planning out loud, rental car is $104 from Fri-Sun night plus fuel for 300 miles.

Or, drive 1650 miles round-trip and take two more days off work. No thanks!

Leave Houston at butt-crack AM, land in Jacksonville at (or before) 10am, hitch ride with one of the JMS-ers, stay at same hotel as co-driver, hitch ride to airport Sun evening. Leave Jax at 10pm to arrive in Houston at 10pm (gotta love those time changes ;) ), throw $20 to driver for extra gas and trouble.


just a thought....

My personal plan is to take thurs fri and Monday off....Relax and get stuff together for the trip Thurs.....Ride up Early Fri...do some practice runs....off we go..:)..come back Sun Nite...usually home by 8.30 pm ....and take Monday to relax...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm sounds very interesting guys!!

I forsee a caravan from Jax to Cecil Friday AM and Sunday PM. ;)


I will not be taking off Monday though. Have to keep the vacation time in the bank in case there's more Black Lake events in the future or if I do actually decide to roll up to Peru, IN for that tour.

Only 3 more to go! :)

That was my buddy I mentioned from Chattanooga, Robbie Peterson. Our CTS-V guy is also intending on entering but is not in a hurry to register- it is still almost 2 months away, remember- but I expect he will make entrant #3. So theoretically, all you guys need is a couple co-drivers in some of those cars...

I guess I will be there before lunch on friday, Pray for no storms

^^^^ yeah...win some tires...:)

^^^^ yeah...win some tires...:)

that would be awsome for him ;)

I could very easily be talked into codriving an ESP wrx to bump up class numbers...lol

So theoretically, all you guys need is a couple co-drivers in some of those cars...

I might have a guy in mind for mine, testing him out this weekend. If he beats me in my own car he won't be coming. :p

I'd be more than happy to beat you in your own car. I've done it both times in the STS2 car that I codrove last year. I drove some kC guys car before. AWD is fun. :D

Just tried. Not fixed. And no response to my post on the SCCA forum telling them about it.
Looks like they need a new IT person on their staff...
RE: Registration system for the Dixie NT

To: chiketkd@yahoo.com

Chike,

Thanks for the note. I am aware of the issue, but neither I nor the IT
DEPT has a solution for the problem. I admit that I am not a computer
person. I have been instructed to tell everyone to use Internet Explorer
instead of other browsers.

:sadbanana::sadbanana::sadbanana:

Anyone know either of the people registered for STU? Who's planning to reg that hasn't?

I have a ride offer :)



ps thanks chike!

Justin, no prob. You'll have fun driving Martin's STi - I kow I did! :cool:

I know John Lawson is from the same scca region as Ruggles, Disimo and Mike King - he's on this board and if you need his username I can get it for you. Hopefully, one more person will sign up for the class.

Looks like they need a new IT person on their staff...

Sorry, I like my current location. ;) While it would be cool to be IT for scca, their location is limiting their talent.

I've written two online registration systems for two different clubs. Both are IE/FF/SF compatible. It's not hard, you just have to know what javascript you can use. Best option for all is server-side validation instead of client side. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k192/penguinlordphoto/smile/26.gif Not to mention the udder failure of myscca. That site was doomed from the get-go. The scca "portal" is an extremely poor design as well.

Just fax it in. If you're registering online, you're using a credit card anyway.

I snail mailed all my entries last year, and had no problems.

From what I understand, that's a sure-fire way to miss the DC ProSolo. I sure hope they fix this by then.

From what I understand, that's a sure-fire way to miss the DC ProSolo. I sure hope they fix this by then.

My codriver didn't register for the DC ProSolo until May. He got in. In fact, I don't know of anyone on the "wait list" these past two years that didn't get in.

It's become so ridiculously legendary, that everyone and their mother signs up for it, on the "off chance" that they are going to go, and then a metric fecal-ton of people cancel in the months heading into the event, as they realize they can't/don't want to go (for various reasons).

Karen

Well, that's comforting then. I guess I've got less to worry about.

So there are people here that do not have access to IE ???? Wow I am amazed. Is IE so hated like Bush that some people won't even go there??

IE7 is only available on Windows. Some of us are smart enough not to use it. If I were forced to use Windows somewhere, I would still avoid using IE7 at all costs for safety's sake. And if I had to open it up to do something as simple as register for an event, I would loudly complain. It's a sign of a severely incompetent web developer in this case.

it was a joke, smile

My codriver didn't register for the DC ProSolo until May. He got in. In fact, I don't know of anyone on the "wait list" these past two years that didn't get in.

It's become so ridiculously legendary, that everyone and their mother signs up for it, on the "off chance" that they are going to go, and then a metric fecal-ton of people cancel in the months heading into the event, as they realize they can't/don't want to go (for various reasons).

So true. To add to that, I think there have been open spots available the last 2 years. So retarded.

Still my absolute favorite event every year.

John

Still my absolute favorite event every year.
+1 I'd have to agree. The DC region definitely knows how to put on a great event!

I'll have to come over and introduce myself this year John. Been talking to you so long on the internet, I'm surprised we haven't met. Btw, nice driving at Nats - you were right there with Berry over both days. :)

I had a lot of fun last year, even though I drove (more) poorly (than usual) and the drive home and the next day at work was absolutely miserable.

I wish I could get to more DC events during the year. It's really difficult with two boys under 4yrs old right now.

While I was reasonably close to Tom, Aaron was definitely faster than both of us on each day. If it weren't for his cones on Wed he was gone. He still beat Marshall for 3rd with a cone.

I'm jealous of all the people who are gonna hit this event in March...it's serious frozen tundra winter up here. My garage has been in the 30's for weeks and it's insulated.

Registered- it's a celebration bitches!! Now...I wonder if the Tarmac 2s will be in and on the car by then....hmmmmm here's hoping.

I'm in an '06 STI with basic prep- F/R sways, RE01R, turboback. Should be fun, if underprepped. SEE YOU ALL THERE!!!!

Glad you'll make it Justin. I got an e-mail from Martin last night - the coilovers and Vorshlag camber plates are ordered!

80 registered as of 1/28/09 @ 9pm.

7 in ST with at least 3 more coming. lots of cool parts ordered to go on before the event :banana::banana:

only 2 in ESP still. :unamused:

just ordered the new wheels, lining up more parts as well. :)

You will be in STU I hope. Still have many weeks, so I definitely hope that they come in soon for you. I have the Tarmac 2s, RCE camber plates (front), and Cobb sways (f and r), but no power mods yet. I can get the components, but would like an STU tune lined up before I put them on. I just mounted a new set of Kumho XSs, but might have on some RE-11s for Dixie. I hope STU gets many more entrants.

STU definitely. Reg'd as 122- Justin Rest

Updated 1st post with 2009 event schedule...

well it seems the Dixie registration is borked...completely...:(....I emailed them earlier...still no luck..

Bill

What is wrong with it? I just registered using firefox without problems.

can"t look at entry list..:unamused:

They did fix the Firefox registration problems, which is awesome. That said, it's still not right. As Scooby South noted, you can't see entry lists. I also found a potentially more problematic bug for anyone who's registering for a few events.

I registered for the Toledo Pro without issues. Then I continued to register for the Finger Lakes Tour and noticed that the $95 price was still by the "Recalculate" button and the "items" I could check off to register for were still the Toledo Pro entries. The top of the page said I was registering for the tour, but the bottom of the page was definitely not. I closed my browser and started it up again to ensure I could enter the site with a clean session and it worked as expected. But I imagine a few people may be getting double-registered for some events, or at least paying too much. Perhaps some people are getting registered for ProSolos for only $90 - who knows...

I'm glad to see it's fixed somewhat at least. I hope they get the rest of these issues resolved though. A lot of people won't register without seeing how their class is shaping up first.
-N

can"t look at entry list..:unamused:

Entry list is not registration.

Also it is only the links on the SCCA site that are broken for the entry list. If you use the link Chike has on the first post of this thread it works fine.

The problem is all the links on the scca site have an extra space at the start of the event key when trying to look at registration lists.

example from finger lakes tour
http://ams.scca.com/netforum/eweb/dynamicPage.aspx?site=scca&webkey=9923d8a8-4595-4138-986e-5a66d470be49&evt_key= e661cae0-d786-4858-b8fb-9f174e3e84b0

If you remove the extra space from the link right after the evt_key= it works fine.

http://ams.scca.com/netforum/eweb/dynamicPage.aspx?site=scca&webkey=9923d8a8-4595-4138-986e-5a66d470be49&evt_key=e661cae0-d786-4858-b8fb-9f174e3e84b0

Still waiting for my tax refund before sending most of it to the SCCA. Hopefully they'll have their reg act together by Friday.

Woohoo!!! BS made a class. :)

As did STU...with a 135? lol cool

I too saw that the 135i took care of STU, but I hope a few more register. Justin, your ears should have been burning this weekend. A few drivers were excited to see that I registered, and they were telling me about you. Nothing specific, but they know you are not new to this.

Should be a fun event!

Just so you know, the 135 is RedTRex here on nasioc. He's part of the JMS crew. He's a former wrx owner. he still has a tribeca I think...although we tend to hold that against him. :lol:

inmledoml23, he was the guy driving the red forester at the subaru challenge.



ESP still needs 2 more!!

^^^^ Hiiiiii Triiiibeeeca.....

I didn't know that was him in the red forester, but I did think that he was part of JMS. I believe that I watched a video recently of him in the 135i. I got to drive one (showroom stock) on Sunday for a lap and it was a nice car. I used it for STU, and lost by two tenths to a well prepped Evo, but could have done much better with a couple more laps. It was an auto, and I chose to just leave it in "D". I wouldn't have been able to get that close to me in my car, but probably within a couple of seconds. If RedTRex can get some coilovers, camber plates, and some good tires (the runflats suck), the car would be really fun to drive. I can't imagine how much power it would make on a nice STU tune. That thing would be a handfull!!

Good luck getting a few more in ESP.

I hope we all drive well!

^^^ true...this is really his first 'major' build....as he was in DS before...he's already done a catback...supposedly tires are on the way...and he's looking to do th Vorslag plates before the tour...Oh..did I mention its his first one...Decent driver...has run this thing for about 6-8 monthes now...we have a pretty competitive STU group locally and talk bunches of smack to one another...so its all in fun...His biggest benefit is he know's the track surface and will continue to know it as there are 2 local events at the site before the tour...

Definitely from Florida (born in Palatka:unamused:), but my name is John Lawson. Still need to edit my number on the registration, because they won't let me run 171 without a codriver. I doubt you will find my name anywhere, as mostly stick to local events (Ft. Myers or State Championships). I just want to be reminded how much I still need to learn.

See ya there.

Outta that bag? People from South Carolina all the way to El Cajon, CA knew last week. :p

As did STU...with a 135? lol cool

So why dat funny :huh: ..... win, lose, or draw you will definately be earning it. :devil:

STU is a fun class to run in, and most of us would like to see some rwd cars that can compete. The problem is getting the power down with the rwds. Rick, what tires will you be running? I am on the Kumho XS's right now (brand new), but I might change to the RE-11's.

Outta that bag? People from South Carolina all the way to El Cajon, CA knew last week. :p

2?

--KC

Still trying to decide between XS's (49%) and RE11's (51%)......:)


SGMP seems very slippery to me (at least on the RFT's) nonetheless getting the power down was the easy part; keeping the front end in-line proved harder, but better tires and camber will cure that.

At your current power level, getting it to the ground is not that difficult, but if you were to run an agressive STU tune (+40-50hp), then you might struggle. Regardless, you won't get it down as quickly as the AWD's on street tires.

Concerning SGMP surface, the XS's might prove to hold their own when the grip is lower (softer sidewall). Part of me wants to give them a shot since I have them on now.

So, are we gonna have some Subies in SM?

He is from florida...so am I...and...so is Superman...lol

Thanks for the confidence. I usually am pretty consistent, but down here, we have great drivers in different classes, so it is hard to know where I stand. DiSimo has to be off for me to match up with his CS PAX time, and it would be the same with K Rankin. We have good STU classes, but no good mixes of good drivers and good setups. The Subaru Challenge course benifited me well.

BTW - you may have to deal with 2 of us (2 different 135s), trying to get another local to show. From what I hear he's good - but I will see for sure this Sun (8th).

Should be a fun weekend! I hope we all drive at our best. I look forward to seeing the Blue 135. I wish that I could watch it out on the course.

Super! I hope a few E46 M3's register. The 135 I drove was stock, but it still reminded me of an E46 M3. At least in regards to power delivery and balance. The M that I have got to drive, is BSP (ASP at the time) prepped, but on great street tires. I wish my STi had the same front end behavior (turn-in and balance) and gearing (and/or rev limit). The course I was on favored my car with a virtual drag-like start, and a turn around that was better for my gearing (low part of second but too high for first) and differentials. This meant that none of us could get the M3 below 31.0 compared to my 30.5.

You guys crack me up .... this should be an interesting race...

Rick you will have the most fun you ever had autocrossing, unless you expected to win. :banana: I knew I wouldn't last year. but plan to be in the top 10 in ST this year

Oh, yeah, Hi Superman! :lol:

I now have an H-Stock co-drive available in an '08 Mazda3, fully prepared on A6s. Let me know if you're interested.

So who's staying where? From what I hear, Adel is pretty empty and camping isn't really a viable option. I guess Valdosta is the place to go for a decent selection of food and places to stay.
-N

Valdosta is 12 miles away down the interstate. We stayed there last year, but my co-driver and I wanted a place a bit closer to the event site this year. IIRC, we went with the Super 8 Motel in Adel. The SCCA staff will be at the Days Inn in Adel. We'll probably go down to Valdosta for dinner one night to hang with friends.

Scooby South and I are at the Day's Inn in Adel.

We'll venture to Valdosta for dinner each night most likely. Easier to drive longer to dinner and back than to the event.

Alright, I'm booked for the Day's Inn too. If anyone wants a bed nearby, I'll split my room fee with someone who wants to join in. And a cheap co-drive opportunity in my car is still available.

For which car are you offering the codrive. I assume the FSP car. I will be in STU, but if the car is competitive, my brother might be interested.

I've only got the FSP Subaru (http://www.jenandneil.com/28fsp). As for competitive, that's all a manner of speaking. The Impreza is most definitely not the ideal FSP car and its arguable that it can never be competitive with the ridiculously lightweight Civics and GTIs and such. That said, I'm trying to change that perspective. It's at least locally competitive, but this event will be the first time I get to go up against the names that typically dominate FSP nationally.

If you're interested, PM me outside of this thread...

Got it - well, save me a spot then (#128 FSP Neil Schelly) and I hope someone will step up to be #28FSP too. I'm still open to a co-driver and the car's starting to look really mean for the coming season!

Well, looks like I'll have a BSL co-driver. Hopefully she'll like the RX-8 and drive it in BSL @ Nats. :banana:

Shawn and I will probably pit with the WDCR people. Hopefully we'll all be close by. I'll definitely stop in and say hi to the JMS folks!!! :cool:

Phil,

Looks like you should save Shawn (moxnix) and myself (Chiketkd) a spot with the JMS crew. Shawn is #190 BS, while I'm #90 BS.

Seems like not many WDCR people will be going down to Dixie this year, but hitting the Finger Lakes NT instead.

Bill, I thought the rule was if you want to do the pirate thing you have to drive an XP car with nascar aero.

Bill, I thought the rule was if you want to do the pirate thing you have to drive an XP car with nascar aero. Your probably right...:lol:.....but this year....like Obama....we have to do "something"...so we are trying to buck the traditions...:banana:




of course unless its cliche'

so....whos' got the "Mazdaspeed" flag....Chike or Ryan....:)


Bill

so....whos' got the "Mazdaspeed" flag....Chike or Ryan....:)


Bill
I don't...maybe Shawn has one he could bring????

Ask Shawn. If he doesn't, I'll get one.

No Mazdaspeed flag here.

I'm trying to freaking find one at the moment, and can't anywhere online. Any recommendations? I'll buy whatever. Oh, Shawn, I'll be in Springfield, VA the weekend before the tour if you want to grab a beer or something. Visiting family there. I could venture down to PWC, bought the Mazda at Malloy down by your neck of the woods.

Oh, and my genius roomie used my "tire sprayer" as an actual garden fertilizer.....great day....
