Sunday Oct. 14th - lapping day at USAIR in Shawano
Sunday Oct. 28th - autocross at Golden Sands in Plover and night autocross.

[TomKat]

Do the ladies want to have the bitch-cross in Marshfield (Sept. 16th) or Plover (Oct. 28th)? If it's in Marshfield then Brittany will have the home court advantage.

[turbo chick]

I have no preference. Does anybody else?

[devlish]

you won't hear from GLHottie for another week i don't imagine... she's in Korea.

[DSM Girl]

Doesn't matter to me either, just let me know the date and I will try really hard to get off or see if the one other girl will switch with me.

[devlish]

autocross at shawano Sunday Sept. 23rd ? where is this timed event being held?? on the shawano track? or parking lot?

[Pointdsm]

at USAIR

[turbo chick]

The autocross will be on the track. Cones will be set up on the track to make extra gates, most likely on the straighter portions, to slow the speed down a little.

[Pointdsm]

Slow the speed down? Its shawano..not blackhawk TC.

[TomKat]

Let's shoot for the b.c. at Marshfield on Sept. 16th. If all the ladies can't make it then we'll do it on Oct. 28th and Golden Sands.

[devlish]

GLHottie might either be in Milw on the 16th, or picking me up from the airport. i'll check with her next time i call korea and get her thoughts on that weekend though.

[turbo chick]

Slow the speed down? Its shawano..not blackhawk TC.

I didn't say that it was too fast for me...the speed has to be under a certain MPH to be covered by the insurance as an autocross. That is why it needs to be slowed down.

[Pointdsm]

I was thinking thats what you ment, but i thought it was under 80mph, and if your going 80 at shawano.... 8)

[EVILUTION]

Sounds like someone thinks an insurance inspector might be spot checking.

[TomKat]

At any event insurance rules must be followed. If something bad happens and you weren't following the rules.....Uh oh. :o

[devlish]

better safe than sorry. it's not a one time deal either, i assume they'd drop you for the rest of the season as well... but i have no idea how hard it is to get insurance for an event like that. my guess is it's easier to stick with what you've got than to find a new Ins company.

and i'm pretty sure some cars do hit close to or over 80 on that back stretch at shawano. (or was it 60??)

[EVILUTION]

Well autocrosses at Shawano are normally slower than lapping days.

Hopefully they don't disrupt the smooth flow of the lapping day layout. It's slow enough the way it is.

Simply tell the drivers at the drivers meeting to keep it under XXmph. That should cover it.

[devlish]

Simply tell the drivers at the drivers meeting to keep it under XXmph. That should cover it. becuase i'm sure you'd be the first to set the good example and pay attention to your speed and not worry about your times.

[EVILUTION]

Its no different then telling someone not to pass in a corner.

[Pointdsm]

Well, at the last lapping day some people thought that would be ok and nearly wrecked to rx7's!

There has never been an autocross at Shawano. The one if Sept. will be a first.

On the radar gun Zoey hit 76mph on the back straight.

[EVILUTION]

I remember taking the PGT to Shawano a couple times with timing gear. It was called an autocross at the time. Was able to catch air and hit my 8k rev limiter. PGT and Type R ran within .02 of one another.

[turbo chick]

I was there that day!!! And the Firehawk almost took out the timing lights when he went off track.

[EVILUTION]

Light weight FD wheels with R compound tires.

That wasn't an autocross. We just set up the timing gear and made runs like a lapping day. That was when the track first opened up and I believe that day they were working on the back section of the track making us use the just the front part of the track.

[TomKat]

Schedule updated. The Marshfield date didn't work out. I'll repost when it is finalized.

[devlish]

way to go, thanks alot. i cancelled my trip to ATL so i'd be here on the 16th for the marshfield autox.

geez....














just kidding. update when you can. thanks.

[GLHottie]

I will not be able to attend any event that is during the week... I unfortunately have this thing called a job.

[TomKat]

Listing is updated again. The event at Marshfield Super Speedway is going ahead for Sunday Sept. 16th. However if the circle track races on Saturday Sept. 15th get rained out we get bumped.

So check the website the day of to check for a possible cancellation.

[Pointdsm]

[devlish]

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

[DontStopMe]

My car runs like ass when its raining. stupid GM MAS.

[EVILUTION]

me and Miccccaia did a 3rd gear power slide in dizmm yesterday. it was kinda scary as there was traffic in the opposite lane.

You guys need to let me know when you're out pounding around. I'll tag along.

Also .... have you found any lapping days for BHFs or possibly Autobahn?

I told ya I'll do it if you want.

$175 for an auto-x?!?!?! I will attend the auto-x at WIR on the following day.

[Pointdsm]

Yea, now that you know there is an autocross sunday :P . I'm excited for next years lapping days at BHF, wish they would have more than one.

[EVILUTION]

I wish these events were published somewhere.

I've been to BHFs a bunch of times and I never once get an email from any of those clubs advertising another event.

I'm thinking I may attend another one of Feff's events. I would like to run MAM sometime.

[EVILUTION]

I wish people would post about lapping days. I would have been all over that one.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

[Pointdsm]

Same here, all i knew about was the autocross!

[SgtRauksauff]

There's a lapping day at Grattan on October 12th, put on by the same guy as the one that TomKat, Evilution, and myself were at back in April... i believe $165 for the day.

Since I don't have a car in proper operationg condition for a day like that, I'm not planning on going. Unless I somehow get some time and a solid engine for the Toyota.....


--sarge

[EVILUTION]

I am game for that event. If anyone wants to take a stab at the EVO let me know. Its a Friday and I have reserves the following day so I would definatly need to plan for this one. I call out EVERYONE!!!!
