Re: NASA-X Autocross October 24th - D_Eclipse9916 - 10-19-2010
I would have to agree with your reasoning. Loaner Helmets, start line delays, clogging grid, jackassery sessions are all something ive had to deal with. I actually like that your doing this along with an "instructor" that's qualified. Learning lines and autocross etiquette from people that arent at least somewhat experienced can actaully harm their progress.

Updated list for who is going from Madison Motorsports. Healthy Crowd, can somebody bring the MM banner again? And remember people, bring chairs, we never have enough. Although ill hvae the trailer people can sit on. Also bring water and sunscreen! Ill be there early (probably earlier than yall will be there) so just look for this white m3 for those that dont recognize it:

I will bring the banner and the one camp chair that I have. And the razor scooter because it's so fly.
Look for my car. It looks like every other black NA Miata :-P

Looks like 78 and sunny on Sunday. Should be a great day for some autocross, and David L is co-driving my car.
Re: NASA-X Autocross October 24th - Goodspeed - 10-20-2010
Kyle, Felton put me as #15 in your car in Heat 1, so sharing the heat with you but about 10 drivers apart, does that work w/ you?
Re: NASA-X Autocross October 24th - kcook - 10-20-2010
Its going to be a pita if you run before me and then to get back in line I have to cut ahead. The way the lines were setup last time made it impossible to just simply cut unless I just keep my car off to the side??? Jon.. chime in?
I dont see why one of us isnt just put in heat 2, but I'd rather be in Heat 1 with all the MM ppl.
Re: NASA-X Autocross October 24th - getfast - 10-20-2010
VMP grid is usually 10 rows of 2-3 cars each, we can just make an 11th lane for that, or put the car under the big tent, or by the fence. Figure out which cars you need to be right after and hop in after 'em as the rows go toward start. Also don't forget to yell out which number you're running as to the starter so we don't get the times confused.
Or we can put one of you in heat 2. No worries either way, just please let me know ASAP (much easier to move entries around now than it is on event day...)
Re: NASA-X Autocross October 24th - xvxax - 10-20-2010
David is also 7 spots behind me. I'm sure it'd be easier to just run 7 and have David run 797 so we are further apart. I was going to work that out on Sunday morning. I think it's better to run two drivers in the same heat as the weather gets a little cooler on r-compounds but it'll help keep heat in street tires too.
Re: NASA-X Autocross October 24th - getfast - 10-20-2010
Let's figure this out now, not Sunday, please. I'm sure registration & timing will be crazy enough as-is :wink:
7 is taken, as are 17, 27, 37, 47. How about 57? That would definitely make more of a gap.

OK, if thats easier I can do that. I've never done a NASA autocross nor have I ever co-drived, so logistically I don't have a lot to chime in about other than I'd be happy to do the other heat if its less of a PITA.
Re: NASA-X Autocross October 24th - xvxax - 10-20-2010
9? #97 NASAX-B to #9 please. Final change.
Re: NASA-X Autocross October 24th - getfast - 10-20-2010
Each heat's run order is sequentially by car number, and starts back over with each additional run. So as the list currently sits, car #9's second run would only be three spots after #797's first run.
Figuring the usual 25-30sec start intervals, 7 spots away in grid would be about 3 to 3.5 minutes apart between runs. 10 spots away would be more like 4 or 5 minutes apart.
How about #9 and #97?
Re: NASA-X Autocross October 24th - xvxax - 10-20-2010
Perfect. Officially highest maintenance autocrosser. Thanks for sorting it out.
Re: NASA-X Autocross October 24th - getfast - 10-20-2010
LOL, no prob. Better now than Sunday :twisted:

So is that a "Jon please move me to heat 2"... or not?
Thanks!
Re: NASA-X Autocross October 24th - kcook - 10-20-2010
just leave it the way it is. If david wants to be moved to heat 2 then thats also fine
Re: NASA-X Autocross October 24th - D_Eclipse9916 - 10-20-2010
Anyone, heads up ill be there till the end of the autox, as im in Heat 3 if your worried about everybody else dipping way out early or being in the same heat (I always wanted to be in different heats so I could watch but thats me.
And Pete your running r-comps? Damnit!

Jon,
Lets do this, as the end all be all to this fiasco :lol:
I'll move to Heat 2. I'd rather not go out in Kyle's car before him (as appears to be the case) and this way I can at least watch what other people are doing before I tackle a new venue in a new car :thumbup:
Thanks for your help!
