Final (I hope) results are now up here:

http://www.get-fast.net/nasacross/

I'd say let's get 'em out to the participants, wait a day or two so I can make changes if necessary, then get who-ever to put 'em on nasaracing.net like Wednesday or Thursday.

That was fun :twisted:

we were all kinda busy setting up and I'm not sure if pics were taken (by us).

For the next course design, it sounds like RJ and G won't be there so its up to me and anyone who would like to setup. Jon Felton helped a ton this past time with the course design, so if he can make the next one I'm sure he won't mind.

kickass... I was looking at the very end of the lot when cleaning up and we still had plenty of space left with runoff room... I say we try and use a little more

Absolutely! All the comments about the course I've seen in various forums have been good (except the ones regarding that evil box at the finish of course :wink: ) so I think we should try to stick to the big/fast/tricky concept for sure.

I'm putting the word out about this next one so hopefully it will be full/overflowing.

When will registration be online? I'd like to hype it starting this sunday 12/5 at the VMSC autocross down there :twisted:

See you guys on the 18th-

Jon

Gerald is working on setting up a registration where each entrant is automatically entered and can pay pal in advance. He's traveling now, so when he has time to get registration going he will.

We tried that many years ago. People hate pre-paying for autocross. They like to pre-reg for free and get on a waiting list and all show up to get spots. The best thing you can do is like it was done this past time - expect 80+ cars and get 60+ to actually show up. Otherwise you'll only convince like 30 people to pre-pay, and you may be left with a less-than-full event. IMHO of course... and hopefully times have changed.

Oh, some good videos have surfaced from Sunday.

The first is Ed Raymundo on a 47-second run:

The second is a bumper cam from another Miata:

http://www.autocross.us/videos/NASA_02/J...bumper.wmv

These two are ~6mb and right-click-save-as.

THAT's how it's done! Tongue

I wish I had skillz like that :twisted:

Cool video! I was hoping to see the Z in there, but I made it in person - I was the one pulling the cones out from under the MR2 :lol:
