June 30th, 2002

This is being set up JUST for the CEG meet. The local SCCA guys didn't have anything planned for that date, but they are doing this JUST for us. We need as many people as possible there racing. This will help us to recover the costs. Here is some info about the course:

Average time for Contour's is about 47-50 seconds. It is very nice concrete parking lot at a high-school stadium.

We will have some concessions which will include water, sunblock, and some snacks. We hope to have some kind of tents there for people to stay cool in between runs.

For those that have never Autocrossed before, this would be a great time to start. It's loads of fun. There will also be loaner helmets there.

Any questions, post them here. Thanks!

-Chris

EDIT: added the date smile

Alright! It'll suck doing that in an ATX, but hell, it will be a lot of fun! Now if I can get my fuel pressure issues resolved frown

Everybody have fun on that concrete lot. If I hadn't already paid Jean to do the Evolution school, I would be there because concrete is FUN. Next year I'll wait to make my driving school plans to see where and when SZ will be.

Respectfully,
Andy Hohl

Well, I've never autocrossed before so I'll have absolutely no clue as to what I'm doing, just have a general idea from what I've read on the forums. smile Hmmm, maybe that's a bad thing. wink :p
Wouldn't mind giving it a go. laugh

Hey guys I have been racing with the Dallas SCCA for the past 2 years and they are the nicest group
of people I have ever met! There well be plenty of us there to help if this is your first time.
Every one I have taken out for a ride is hooked!
The autocross sight is a very nice concrete lot plenty of room for course. Once you try autocross and see what our cars can really do you you will be hooked! We are driving Fords version of the M3's. Come to Texas and be ready for a great time!!

You got my attention! eek <---- me after reading that.

So let me get this right...

your from Texas
we are from Texas
you are going to import alcohol from Texas to Texas?
Well thats just the coolest thing I ever heard! laugh laugh laugh Seriously, just ignore me. I don't make much sense when I am sober. Cant wait to meet you.

Oh yea since I wanna stay "on topic" I just have to say the idea of autocrossing sounds fun but I'm afraid I would miss a turn & look like a goober. I probably will still try it. I always look like a goober anyway.
Posted By: XTREMECONTOUR Re: **National Meet Auto-X Info** - 05/17/02 02:19 PM
I meant to say I am not far away from Mexico and the alchohol will be imported from Mexico to Texas.. Sorry for the confusion.Any requests...

You can always go back for your turn. I'll bring the video from Spring Zing where I missed a gate/turn and went back for it. I did choose the right way to go back. Had I turned right instead of left, there would be course workers everywhere laugh

Hey! Just want to make sure you people are coming. We need as MANY people as we can to participate! If you aren't registered for the National Meet, DO IT!!

Also, indicate on your registration if you plan on participating in the autocross.

Thanks!!!
