I'de love some instruction Dean !

'much to learn, in the ways of the force, this one has'

So now that we're only a few days from the weekend, who is in for helping out on Friday? There will be free trailer rides around the course and commemorative t-shirts for all those that help!

If I am home Im there!

I should be free in the afternoon Pat, what time are you guys heading out there?

I think 10:00ish is a good target.

Okay, I will do my best.

I'll be there

There is some construction in progress so the normal gate into the airport will be closed. There is an alternate gate to the west that will be open.

If it not too busy at work I can show up around 2pm. Is it too late?

Yes, you need to be there by 11:30 AM to be sure to get into registration before tech closes. Sometimes you can get away with showing up as late as 12:45, but that's rare, and you don't want to count on us running late, because then we won't be, of course. ;)

On a related note... does anybody know what class a Hemi Charger is in? :twisted:

Are you talking about Friday for setup help, or Sat/Sun for competition?

I'm talking about Friday. Sorry, I'm not clear on that.
I believe, on Saturday I'm in the morning group, work 1st run 2nd.

Ok, start time 10 a.m. on Friday. Estimated time for rapping things up on Friday so I can tell the ball and chain. With the new black car she is driving, her heart has opened up to letting me play a little on Friday.

At the meeting last night we decided to start at 11:00 AM tomorrow instead of 10:00. If you were planning on being there at 10, don't.

If John shows up, don't let him convince you to use more cones!

You can go a long way between elements if you provide the right visual cues. A single double pointer coned gate between elements is often enough to keep people headed the right direction and keeps them from taking things to wide.

Lots of lay downs they can see from far away also help.

Can't wait for the weekend.

Cool, I'm excited except I dunno really what all that meant. Basically less cones but have them point a way for people to go. Whoopee!

I think I'm below the level of being an AutoX noob. I have like -47 intelligence and 0 skill and +170 confusion. If we were attempting to take over Golgaroth you wouldn't want me in your party. I don't even know how to give people stuff! Lawlz (sorry, south park was funny last night).

I think the 'John' that Dean was refering too was Mr. Evans, not Mr. daJibba. :lol:

DUH! Why would I, a person who has never autocrossed ever before, tell Dean to use more cones? :lol:

:concur:

How did everything turn out after I had to leave at 1:00? The course was looking good when I left. I'm sure after the white lines were put down the visuals improved. Thanks for letting me help and I'll see you early in the morning tomarrow.

Thanks for the help! It ended up looking pretty good even though the Airport Director mad us move teh octagon.

Hopefully the rain doesn't wash away all of our work.

Aw you jinxed it!

That was a fun track. I don't think I've ever had so much fun in my car since I bought it.

When does the first run group start on Sunday morning?

Thanks.

You should probably shoot for starting 8-8:30ish. I hope we can get the drivers meeting right at 9, and get the show started early (on time).

Let me see if it works again: Hopefully a busload of topless blonde chiropractors offering free 'adjustments' doesn't show up tomorrow.
