That's a poor excuse. Git yer ass up here.

I will be there!!

How much was your room?

~$50 a night.

Be sure to ask for the special SCCA rate, if you are staying at the Sturgeon Inn.

with the weather reports if i go i may have an advantage with these tires ive complained about all year :)

Whoooo hoo! I'm looking forward to some Auto X...I will get the car sorted out tomorrow, and head out early Saturday Morning. See you guys there.

I got the following email yesterday:

Reno Region SCCA members and friends,

This is just a reminder that our Solo season will be back in action this coming weekend, Sept. 22-23, out at Derby Airfield near Lovelock. It'll be Rounds 14 and 15 of our Championship Series, and after this only two more Solo Championship events will remain this year (Rounds 16 and 17, Oct. 6-7 at Stead).

It's easy to get to Derby Field; simply head east on I-80, take Exit 93 and follow the signs to the airport. It's just 80 miles from Reno/Sparks, within commuting distance (by Los Angeles standards, anyway!), or you can make a weekend of it. Camping is permitted at the airfield (there's a restroom available), or you can stay in Lovelock, about 15 minutes from the event site. Many of us stay at Sturgeon's Hotel & Casino (775-273-2971) , and they have rooms available at a special SCCA rate. Our event chairmen, Randy Jones and Jim Uchytil, are also putting together a Saturday night spaghetti dinner at the airport. If you're thinking of joining us for dinner, please give Randy an e-mail at randy.jones@ firstiertpa. com, if you haven't already done so.

One more reminder: our published run groups will not apply to the Lovelock events. We're asking all entrants to plan on being at the site all day both days. That's because we expect a smaller turnout than for our Stead events, which means we need flexibility in setting up our run groups and work assignments. We appreciate everyone's understanding.

Watch for an e-mail coming soon containing more information about the Sept. 29th Fall Tour!

See you at the Lovelock events.

Jim Gandy
Regional Executive

Should I try to be there at 8:30 for Tech and to walk the course?

Oh well, getting up at 5:45 to do something fun is way better than waking up at 6:30 to go to work.

Looks like a very good likelihood that we will be running in the rain Saturday, and maybe even part of Sunday. Should be crazy! We haven't had a rain event since Winnemucca 2004, right Tyson? :lol:

Sweet. Is it going to look like Spa 98 out there?

That's going to be fun on my almost bald tires.

Rain? What kind of psuedo-desert do you people live in?

I am right there with you!

Shit! ...and you live in Tahoe IIRC?

Yup! Should be fun!!!

Well if it's gonna snow and you have better tires on other wheels, you could always swap at the event.

Careful folks... Lovelock is the season's fastest autocross, and it takes place on crowned runways, so every turn is off-camber. Going off in the wet will be easy, and going into the mud is going to SUCK.
