yeah but at least it's only $50 for a day of racing rather than $200 for 60 seconds of driving in a straight line :P

Agree with that!


I didn't compete in the last road and track and showed up to watch at 2pm. What were the issues? So I can alert them for next time.

Hrm.

If it is permitted as an Autocross, then no. But I'd get on the phone to Julian to check that he'd be happy with that.

Extinguishers aren't mandatory in an autocross either.

Could be a lack of volunteers, I know of a few that have pulled out due to feeling under appreciated.

I might pop over for a nosy at some stage during the day since I can't do much on the starlet this week.

should be easier to organize an autocross as you only have 1 car going at a time and only new few volunteers etc

Is it a just sorta 'turn up and go' event, or do you need to be pre-booked? I might turn up in the supra if it is.

My brother has a race in the honda cup series or something up there on the same day, I assume this isn't it?
Cheers,
Brandon
