I need to get my car done, maybe I"ll bring my TDI VW race car. It blows really cool black smoke...

[Fast289]

Good morning, I am still a maybe. It all depends on when Carmen is complete. Is there a registration deadline?

Happy Friday.

Is this at the Bondurant main track or one of the others. I am thinking the main track is the one with the strait away we used last weekend. They going to use the full track (Bondurant portion)? 5 hours = how many laps?

[mikiec]

That Kirkham is not done yet? What's taking so long?

[mikiec]

I can get an email out if you want.

Fitz,

This event will not be on the racetrack. The Bondurant autocross course is on the large paved skid pad area in front of the Bondurant office & classroom building. Click here to watch the video and/or see the photo below. You can see the course in the right corner of the skid pad.

This thing called life got in the way, I'm saving as fast as I can...lol

[fordracing65]

I'm in with the VW TDI. I will see everyone there...

[mikiec]

I have, but I'll still get out emails for awhile.

We need more snakes at the autocross! Only 2 Cobras and 2 Vipers so far.

Does anybody know this Cobra and/or Vernon Jolly? He says he'll be there.

[Fitz]

If our toys all had power steering and brakes like the vettes it would be more enjoyable on the very short many turn course. I would move schedule around if this was on main track Even at that most of us would need serious messages afterwards. For those worrying about hitting the walls it appears there aren't any!

put me down as a serious maybe for saturday/sunday. Havent had a chance to get into the shop to have them tune the fuel injection again but still in even if not running great. I have been throughly unimpressed with the FAST system over this 5 years in holding a tune on my Roush

Lots of cars, loads of fun, and the Corvettes got politely smacked down at their own club event. Snakes ruled, sort of. Top honors went to CobraVern's FFR Cobra powered by a small block Ford, and second place went to Alex & Fred Zust's wicked Viper ACR.
