Autox Test and Tune this Saturday @ DCTC

[Tiina]

Hey Russo/Za za... roni (sorry... spelling?? :eek:)

Are you both going to be there this Sat? Looks like my schedule just cleared up, so I am thinking about heading over to check it out. You said, I could probably get a ride along or two?

Do I need to register? It's not like I am testing or tuning anything, just want to watch.

Thanks!

I won't be there. I'm done autocrossing for the season. :(

I'm not running, but I might show up in the afternoon, we're heading back from our Rally America hotel in Park Rapids Sunday morning.

This is a great event for new people, at a normal competition event, only MAC instructors can ride along. Anyone can hop in any car to ride along. You can observe, or have someone who's not a MAC instructor help you out, or if you normally co-drive it gives you time to really see how the other person is driving the car.

At a normal MAC event you'll get 5-6 runs in a day, at a TnT you can get over 30. It's a "free" run setup, there are two courses running simultaneously, and you'll have to work 2 hours out of 5 or 6 hours running. You can hop in either line as much as you like, leave, park the car, adjust settings, etc.

The event is limited to members only and it is full. However there will most likely be some "standby" spots available when a few people do not make it. If you're not a member, you will have to pay event fees ($20 i think), and the member's dues ($30).

Take:
Sunscreen
Hat
Helmet (Snell M or SA 2000 or 2005) There are loaners, but you might be shuffling/waiting a lot for one, but there aren't a ton of newbies at these events.
Tire gauge. Fill 'em up high before you go and bleed down, or have some compressor/air tank at your disposal.
