[snoxracer183]

AX Event #1 at Noah's Ark

Time:
May 2, 2010 - 7:30am
location:
Noah's Ark Upper Parking Lot

The first event of the year. Join the gang for a new venue with lots of room.

The Cheese Wheel people will be selling hamburgers, brats, chips and soda for lunch. No need to leave the area for lunch. They will also be helping out with working the course.

Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. As you know for the first event everyone needs to fill out a new registration card for the year. You will receive this at the gate when you sign in on the waiver.

Tech Inspection is from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. and the drivers meeting will be at 10:00 a.m.

Since this is a new venue and we hope to be able to keep it, please have respect for the property. No warming up of tires in any manner.

Entry into the lot will be from E. Lake Ave. off of Hwy 12.


Anyone plan on going to this?

If I can get the wheels rounded up from mrslysly I will be heading down.

[Dizmm]

i'll be there.

[SgtRauksauff]

I'll be there.

Should be time at some point for a quick run to Log Cabin for some Chicken Pot Pies, too!

[WhiteEightBall]

How much? I probably wont have the money anyway since the motor is coming in some time this week.....

[TomKat]

I'll be there for the chicken pot pies.

[SgtRauksauff]

MSCC members are $25, non-members are $35, $10 late entry fee.

[TomKat]

How much are the pot pies? Do you take pay pal?

[DontStopMe]

hmm. not sure if want to participate, film, or just stay home. Only time shall tell.

[fronzoos]

I might be heading down, not too sure. Dep. on weather I can get the wheels on the vette in time... Maybe I'll cruise down for the hell of it?

[StephaniEvo]

I should be there.

[Getsideways]

i will be there

[VPT]

I believe I am busy and broke so I doubt I'll make it.

[snoxracer183]

Rims came back from the powdercoater today. I will be down there on my Hoosiers :)

[SgtRauksauff]

By the way, according to everyone who's gone there physically, it's MUCH larger than even Miller park.

Just for some comparison, here's a couple of google earth screenshots, edited with yellow where we have access. First one's Noah's Ark, second one's Miller Park. I tried to keep the scale as close as I could, but it might be a little off. I'm not sure if we've got the left-most area at Noah's, which is why it's got some awful question-mark shaped things on it.

[snoxracer183]

Am I correct in saying we do not have to pre-register? Or am I missing something on the website

[TomKat]

You do not have to pre-register.

[Dizmm]

Yay trees to run in to!

[SgtRauksauff]

Yay trees to run in to!

lol!! The gap at the south side, where that tree-island is, is about 4 car lengths end-to end, to put that in perspective.

--sarge

[Dizmm]

Evil, are you coming to play in the dells???

[BLAQK]

no go for me :( car wont be back from the body shop by then

[snoxracer183]

Do we need to bring numbers or are they supplied at registration?

[TomKat]

Bring your own numbers. A roll of masking tape always works nice.

[devlish]

Do we need to bring numbers or are they supplied at registration?

c'mon now... support your fellow racers... i make magnets!!!


also, Nick... i've had yours done for quite a while now!!! i haven't been able to make TT though at all. i'll get them to you before the weekend one way or another!

[snoxracer183]

How much do you charge Mr. Devlish?

[devlish]

$1000 or less.

actually, i just did some static clings for Miciashashasaaa's windows this morning, so he can use them for high-speed stuff too. they'll go on the inside of the windows, and should work beautifully for him!! $30/set for basic magnets, white + 1 color. $35/set for static cling, 2 colors. white is usually best though if they are tinted windows, most other colors are semi-transparent and end up looking very dark once inside a tinted window. size is standard 8x12 overall. with 7" #'s.

[Kiesgen117]

I'll be there for the chicken pot pies.

No! Kitttty!!!! thats my pot pie!!!!

I might be there debating between the WAI event in Milwaukee and this, Milwaukee's looking better to me though...Cheaper and awesome courses...

[TomKat]

Cheaper? I don't think so.

[Jettaman]

What time does registration closer? i will prob be there.

[SgtRauksauff]

Registration is 0730-0900. Late registration is 10 bucks more.

--sarge

[TomKat]

What time does registration closer? i will prob be there.

9am. Get off your butt and get those snow tires on that automatic Jetta.

[WhiteEightBall]

ugh.

I'll see you guys there.....

[snoxracer183]

Is there a convoy leaving from SP tomorrow morning?

[DontStopMe]

I'm leaving now. :)

[snoxracer183]

I'm leaving now. :)

Well where's the party at tonight then?

[DontStopMe]

Well where's the party at tonight then?

Wilderness. Stop on by.

[JDL1527]

Ok guys, talk me into going, im on the fence.

[djchubbs]

How long does it take to get to the dells and is there a convoy leaving from mfld

[TomKat]

I'm leaving from Race Central at 5:30am. Dizmm is leaving at 5:45am.

[paulmeisterpk]

Work sucks. I'm only like 20 mins away and I can't GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[northsydryd]

[VPT]

Nice day, to bad I couldn't make it.

[TomKat]

Fun event. Great location.

Nice driving Dizmm, Getsideways, Turbo Chick, and SnowX.

[Getsideways]

fun event definatly a way to test your car track was bumpy and abusive as could be fairly fun tho , everyone drove great today good battle for the top spot too ha

[Dizmm]

^ yes it was. haha. Our last 2 runs made my day.

The Monks pizza burger was outstanding.

Tight and technical course. really had to focus and not drive by the seat of your pants.

[DontStopMe]

I had fun despite missing 3 runs. I think i need to learn how to take the longer sweeps corners a little better.

[snoxracer183]

That was really fun for my first parking lot autox. The Hoosiers were incredible. Can't imagine a brand new set of those babies.

Great driving by everyone from CWSCC!

Any rubbing?

[snoxracer183]

Any rubbing?

Nope no rubbing. Guess it's time for some 255s :)

[DontStopMe]

Thanks again to northstdryd and whiteeightball for getting some footage while I worked on my car.

Andy, I owe you a clamp.

Also, I would love to see pics of my car since I have none with the blue evo at events.

[Dizmm]

[WhiteEightBall]

Not a problem man. Thanks for the ride.

Too bad I didn't make it in time to actually participate but when I woke up, I was still DIA at 9 a.m. Shouldn't have went to sleep at 5. Probably should have taken it easy on the liquids Sat. night.

Even as small as they made it, it was still pretty technical. Makes me excited for more events. I was really in no condition that morning to do much except sit around and wait for everything to stand still.

--sarge

I agrree! Well maybe mine should read 6-month old econobox

[WhiteEightBall]

All our econoboxes need to compete with each other.....

[SgtRauksauff]

Just wait until I actually have bushings in the front that aren't disintegrating. and get an alignment. MUUUUHAHAHAhahahahaaaaaaaa........

oh, and maybe some fresh tires, not at the end of their life.

and I should be seeing close to 20 more hp by month's end, I hope I'll have the time to get things tuned before the event at Sugar River Raceway, or the next event at Shawano. 20hp isn't really a lot, but it's an 18.4% increase of where I'm at right now, which is huge, IMO.

Nope still trying to fix my car. I did get some good ones of you, ill get them up at some point.

[WhiteEightBall]

No pictures yet?
I got some video of you with Pauls camera.

[DontStopMe]

I got some video of you with Pauls camera.

Actually I don't think you did. I think you only got the other Mazda 3 that was there. Video will be done Tomorrow.

[WhiteEightBall]

^ SoB!!! I think you're right..... The one I got didn't have fogs..... Damn. Sorry snoxracer!

[northsydryd]

Actually I don't think you did. I think you only got the other Mazda 3 that was there. Video will be done Tomorrow.

hey i got a bunch of pics but my cameras must have gotten dropped or somthing cuz my computer wont copy them off the camera so i can post em.i dont know whats going on with it but if you or anyone else wanted to give it a shot just message me .the camera will have to be picked up cuz i broke my car monday night.FINALY

[SgtRauksauff]

maybe try pulling the memory stick out, and using a card reader on it, instead of the USB port of the camera itself? Otherwise, good luck, it might just be a toasted/corrupted card that needs reformatting, aka losing all the pics on it.

--sarge

[northsydryd]

i got most of them off but some are not so good heres a couple of them .i will try to get some more of them tonight

[DontStopMe]

Video is done. If you were in group 2 or 4, I probably didn't get too much video of you because I was running in those groups.

*fart* HAHA I got a kick out of that. Great Vid!

[TomKat]

Another awesome video. Great shots - great angles.

[Getsideways]

Yeah another good video thanks for working so hard around all your intercooler pipes popping off

[VPT]

Looks like fun! It is good to see different cars for a change! Just seeing evos all the time is quite sickening and boring.

[WhiteEightBall]

Awesome vid paul. You liked some of the footage I got, I see. haha. cool.

[SgtRauksauff]

Very cool, I liked the Johhny Cash song at the beginning!

No kidding right. On the way down I hit a huge cloud of bugs. Should have seen the windshield before I stopped and cleaned it off.

[WhiteEightBall]

^ I did too the day before. I still have the bugs.... unfortunately....

[devlish]

nice video! like the slow-mo stuff at the start.
