Dave said he would be extremely mad at me if I didn't make a novice school. Bummer the April is full, I will have to sign up for June.

Maybe the sentra will like auto-x if I can't get the new project going by then :)

Dave who, anyone I know?

The April school filled up in less than 2 days, I plan on going since I only have 4 events under my belt. Aside from a test and tune day it is the most seat time you will get for your money, plus there are instructors there for nothing else but to help you drive better.

I think I will do the June school.

I just signed up for the June school. I decided I'm going to try autocrossing this year at least a few times. Should be fun!

For people wanting to sign up for the novice school and all the MAC events they can be found here:
http://www.myautoevents.com/pls/mae/frmEventList.Show?pstext=minnesota

Keep in mind that MAC runs events in conjunction with other groups so they aren't listed there, but a link to signups is usually listed on the forum at www.mnautox.com and they're always through myautoevents.com.

Found this video of 8-time national champion Mark Daddio in his Evo from last year's Pro Solo event in DC:

If you think that's still slow, imagine yourself in the car, it's fast. The course is a little short, but that is a fast course.

I don't know his exact setup but I remember FP green, AEM and everything else you can imagine. At one point he was running 18x10s up front and 17x8.5s in the rear to help the car turn.
