Email Ed to register. This Saturday @ Osbourn Park Senior Highschool in Manasses, it's near New Braddock Road (take a left if you're facing the Multiplex). Check-in at 8AM, there will be four heats, I'm signed up for heat 2, six runs total with fun runs at the end. $35 for non-members (they have a membership freeze right now). |

Ok sounds good...I am assuming the usual car prep, like emptying out the car, checking tire pressure and all that. Ok, I'm in, emailing him now. Is Sam in?

Kills me because my new auto-x rims and tires are just sitting in the garage, just waiting to be run. Of course, now I'm thinking I'm gonna buy a cordless impact wrench to make the tire swaps a little easier on me. Does it ever end?! LOL Have fun guys. And remember ... shift into second! |

As for tire pressure, fuel level, etc. I wouldn't worry about it to much this time around. Doubtful that having a qtr tank of gas and having tire pressure dialed in front/rear is gonna shave a lot of time off your runs My advice -- have fun and drive the hell out of your car. Don't stay in 1st gear like David. If you're uncomfortable with the course layout, ask if an instructor or someone who knows the course to ride along the first few runs. Personally I think half the battle is just getting comfortable with the course layout and where to point your car. I wouldn't focus to much on times per se -- I would just focus on trying to improve your times with every run. If it was anything like last time, there will be some fast cars out there! |
