Do you have to have your own helmet or do they have loaners?

ahah thanks dan:P It'd prolly be too big for me anyhow. I was going to go buy one this week but then I realized my bank account bounced into the negative from buying the EZUP Tent.... Once I get paid at the end of the month I am gonna go up to GForce and buy one, but until then i may actually hold out on the autox. I don't really have the money to compete right now anyhow, and I need to figure out my living situation over the weekend.

I think I'm going to try and make it out on Sunday.
I've been saying I'd make it out to and AutoX event for years, so I'll finally make good on my word.

I guess Sam can't make it to the Saturday Test'n'Tune because of his diff situation, so there's a chance I'll be there in his place. We'll see how it pans out.

I might just sleep in the Turner parking lot this weekend!

nobody, if you'd like to make it out on Sunday, I'm sure we can work everything out.

What's the difference between the FOERST and second afternoon runs? Everyone seems to be signing up for the second one.

I registered for the Saturday test and tune. Should be fun. Sunday's are just bad for me in general so its hard to autocross seriously.

Hey i had a few questions....

While browsing through the registration I noticed that there were tonnnnns of classes. What is it like up here? Do all classes run the same course? and do they just consistently run it one after another [so like all the classes are mixed up]? I saw that there was novice morning and afternoon, but then the other classes all registered in the other spot.

Just curious on how it works! I'm sure it'll be diff from how they did it in FL.

There are 2 sessions. Morning 10-12 Afternoon 12-3 more or less

In each session there are 2 heats with a run group designated by color
RED Green Blue Yellow
Each Group Color is designated with certain classes and never changes
ex. My group Green has classes : STS, STX, PRO, BSP
So I always run with these classes and I have to to get points.
This group changes sessions based on events ie. they rotate from morn to afternoon.

So the morn session might have GREEN & BLUE and the afternoon has other two groups.

As far as Novice goes they have a morning novice and afternoon and you run in one of the heats you register for.
ex. nobody is in N3 so she runs in the 3rd Heat(1st Afternoon run group) this event. Same as the Green Group (Mine).

Everyones the same course all day.

Hope that wasnt as confusing as it seems.

Any ?'s
