OK, random question, but where does the club buy all the cones? I may need to buy a bunch for some soccer games (setup boundaries in a park, etc) and I figured the club may know where to buy some in...

I'm still hoping for the after-lunch torrential downpour to make all this suffering in the AM groups worthwhile, hahaha.:biggrin::biggrin:

So what's the over-under on this event being a wet one, too? Hahaha

Also registered!

OK this may be a dumb question, but can I leave the stem caps off during autocross?

At the autox school we learned all about adjusting our tire pressures, and since there isn't a ton of down time...

I'm no expert, but from just looking at those websites I can say:

the first one looks to be a pain because it doesn't have a hose, so you need to be bent down to the tire valve.

and the second...

I just saw this. I guess we may get a chance to see if they ever got around to correcting those errors in grading.

Thanks! Just a heads up, it looks like row 78, Robert Mullen, is misclassed, with an Integra classed in T2.

Also, not sure if it matters, but my car is somehow listed as a 1998, but it's really a...

Just wondering: is there an updated roster available?

Yes, that's the helmet I have. Was one of the more comfortable ones I tried on, and the price was right, too.

Ron,

I think you'll catch me pretty easily. Most of my speed can be attributed to the car, and the rest was beginner's luck.

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear about Summit, but I'm glad you're OK. ...

Does NCC have any shirts and things for sale?

I think it would be worth it. Every helmet manufacturer fits a slightly different shape, so trying them on in person is really a necessity.

Also, when I first got mine, I was surprised as to...

I cannot express how pleased I am with this school. It was absolutely incredible and I know I came away with some marked improvements. All of the instructors and organizers were really helpful; I...

What do you mean fixed numbers? It says "Please note: These are individual numbers and can be rearranged to create several number/class combinations."

If I'm missing something let me know. ...

Woody,

That's a good point. They've only got 4 autocross events and a track day on them (plus a lot of regular driving, but that won't really wear the edges all that much), so perhaps I should...

I may or may not stick around for this (I'm doing the AM autox). All depends on if my other half wants to head to Leesburg for the afternoon or not.

OK, thanks for all the pointers. Seems like it should be fine.

Just for the record, the tires I'm flipping are Direzza Z1 Star spec, so they are directional, but as far as I know, they don't have...

So my tires are looking a little worn on the outside edges. I've done a few autocrosses, have no camber plates, and due to me being a complete and utter novice, have understeered and plowed a lot at...

Sorry, but I'm going to have to be a sour-puss and cancel at the last minute. I hope you guys have fun....I'm sorry I won't be able to come by.

Well I'm glad I'm enrolled in the autox school, that's for sure! :biggrin:

Hey guys,

I didn't see this posted so I figured I'd remind everyone. Tonight (3/20) on ESPN at 8Pm "Truth in 24" will be shown (www.truthin24.com). The documentary, which was done by NFL films,...

Sounds like fun, thanks for the heads up!

I just signed up for 930, too. See you!

I think there may be updated software already out to alleviate the turbo lag. Check out this blog post:

Maybe this is a dumb question, but I always wondered what's the purpose of having those unpaved center islands. Wouldn't it be much more versatile (and safer) with those sections paved and the skid...
