Poor turnout on the road course last year :( Hopefully we can fill it up this year and have it all weekend in 2012!

Many of us run that type of tire for lapping days, anyway...it isn't racing.

Anyways, typically most the auto-x stuff around here is lower speed. Point being is your not running corners or sweepers @ 60+mph.

You're running at the wrong autocross events. :nod:

Any rough idea the effect on cost to run flying laps? At MAM if i recall it was only like $10-20 to rent a transponder for the day.

if everyone was willing to pay the extra $20 then it wouldnt be a problem. We cant have just 10 people want them.

Yes.

Went out on cold tires last year @ MAM and that was a handful and wont intentially be doing that again anytime soon. Whats the reason for not having a 2 day event this year?

the big track is being used on sunday. Hopefully next year we'll have the big track both days again.

If anyone wants a flying lap time, just talk to me at the event and i can arrange it for you. However, and obviously it wont count for the HSAX competition that starts at 3pm.

Not a real huge fan of auto-x to start w/. That and the car just spins the tires in the low gears which really makes it pointless. Would much rather run open lapping road course then auto-x any day.

thats why i feel option 3 is the best of both worlds. its basically a full lapping day, and as a bonus, we'll be doing timed laps at the end.

As would I, but I'd rather have seat time than sit at home.
