I got a spot for Sunday's Test & Tune event at DCTC! They opened up 10 more this morning so act fast and register if you're interested.

Argh, I was planning on taking Emily's car since the event was full. Now I want to autocross but she made plans with her mom on Sunday.

Gotta be a member too.

They posted the official times from last weekend in Iowa. The A-stock s2000 with hoosiers dominated the stock classes. They didn't have a street tire class.

Anyone else besides Janelle and I going to the test & tune at DCTC tomorrow?

**Kracka** · 05-10-2009

Autocross was awesome today! I absolutely love the test & tune events

Pretty much unlimited runs, 2 courses going at once, and less course working...that combo can't be beat. Janelle came along with me in the morning and did 4 ride-alongs (some of which with her eyes closed). She didn't much care for taking rides, but she did say she wants to give driving, or at least the novice school, a try sometime.

s1ngletracker · 05-10-2009

how many runs do you think you got total? That sounds pretty sweet.

MustGoFaster · 05-11-2009

AS many as you want! The most I have heard of anybody doing is 47 runs. After that, you just get bored an stop, even with trading cars. To put that in perspective, a full year of AX runs is 54 (9 events, 6 runs each) In the morning, the lines can be a little long. But in the afternoon, there were a number of time where, as people pulled up to the line I told them "go when ready" (I was the starter for one course)

I did 11 runs. 8 to learn a new car and R comps. 3 in an STS Miata. I tried to find some other cars to drive, but felt a little uncomfortable going up to people I didn't know and asking to drive their car, so I didn't ask a ton of people.

**Kracka** · 05-11-2009

I did 15 runs and figured that was enough since I want these tires to last me through the summer.

s1ngletracker · 05-22-2009

Who's going this weekend? I'll be there, once again with my shitty tires. You'll probably hear me a mile away squealing

**cmspaz** · 05-22-2009

Is it a COM event this weekend? I don't see MAC having anything scheduled.

s1ngletracker · 05-22-2009

Yeah, PCA/COM at Dakota Tech

MustGoFaster · 05-22-2009

I'll be there driving the EBS.

**cmspaz** · 05-23-2009

I'll be working, not like I would have passed tech anyway. I was just curious.

s1ngletracker · 05-24-2009

Hrm... great, alarm didn't go off. I'm assuming if i went and showed up after tech inspection and sign in is over, they'd just turn me away.

Correct.

MustGoFaster · 05-24-2009

Was a good time. I got 2nd in XP, Steve (the car owner) beat me by .12x seconds. But still a very fun day!

s1ngletracker · 05-25-2009

I gotta say, rallyx is almost as fun as autox. Tried it out today, had a great time. Definitely made up for my oversleeping blunder

**cmspaz** · 05-27-2009

You say almost, so I'm guessing you don't have as big of a soft spot for sideways as I do.

Anyway, here's proof:

But was what really cool to see was this:

I'd say more fun, but I had a damned time trying to get my understeering biotch sideways!

Got some snow tires, next event its game on!
