We have changed a few things for this season. We are bringing back the Pro class, which is an index class the people that would like the top most competition available to them. We have also decided to keep the Road Tire class, which is also an index class for people on street tires (140 treadwear or greater). The Bump class is also still in effect for all of those classes with only 1 car in them.

As always, if you have any questions about anything, ask away!

So who’s going to join us for our season opener?

95% sure I’m in.

:tup: to road tire and pro class.

I don’t suppose the SCCA has come to their senses about that stupid non-member program they instituted last year? You know, the “there are no guests, you all have to be members and fill out a temporary membership application each time” thing.

What are the fees looking like this year? I know non-member fees when up a bit when they started the temporary membership garbage.

4

IN.

5

Fees are the same as last year.

And there is an easy way to avoid the “weekend membership” garbage…

6

Not worth it for someone who only does a couple events a year.

7

At least the difference in member/non-member pricing isn’t the $15 that national “suggested” we charge.

Sometimes I wonder if national is purposely trying to kill Solo.

EDIT:

WTF… I know Pontiac is dead and all, but did you have to remove them as a make in the registration system? :wink:

In depending on the weather. My days of standing around in the rain to autocross are over. :slight_smile:

We’ll see. I barely trust the forecast for tomorrow. Sunday is still a long ways off.

I added pontiac .

Anyone who didn’t show because of weather should know by now you can’t trust Don Paul. 10 minutes of super light rain early, then a beautiful day! 8 runs, all but 2 runs for 1 heat were dry. Good time. Hope more come out next time.

15

Yeah, you can thank me for the weather. When ever I decide not to come because of rain it’s nice, and when ever I ignore the forecast for rain and go to an event it ends up being a monsoon from 10am until 2pm.

It’s all good, got several projects done around the house today.
