> [@RobHimself](#): > > traditional style? you are such a n00b… The course is always different. Of course it’s always different jackass, but on WNYSCCA I think rushman stated they wouldn’t be having the “intersection” so close to the middle of the course, and the course would return to a more traditional format with the “intersection” occuring much closer to a turnaround. :spunk: ---

“traditional” style, that’s how we get the fast throughput and tons of runs for everyone! ---

Hopefully things will be fun for you, but be aware, what I’ve been hearing out of that region is not very positive. Long events, typically 3 runs, and overrun with process/politics. ---

Long events, typically 3 runs, and overrun with process/politics. I’m on their mailing list, it sounds like they have more drama than we do (or, people are louder). But given the choice between a mediocre event at a great site, or no event at all, I’m going to give it a shot. :gotme: ---

My standard offer stands. If you want to auto-X and don’t have a car PM me. (novices with less than 3 events) ---

> [@zero assault](#): > > I might try out auto-x for the first time evaRRR, if anything I may stop up and watch. seriously man, just show up on time and run. This is last close event for a little while, and I GUARANTEE if you run this event you may be motivated enough to travel farther to run again soon. Everyone there will help you out, and almost everyones attitude is extremely positive towards n00bs and you won’t feel retarded and worry about how your doing. You’ll be concentrating on what to do to get better. Everyone always seems to be a little shy and nervous their first event out on course. But once they take 2-3 runs they are super happy they came and tried it out and are then pissed that they didn’t try it sooner. (Kinda reminds me about sex 😉 ) Anyway, be there and become part of what it’s all about. Once you’ve tried it, you will relize how boring it is to just watch and not drive too! ---

56 and showers between 10am and 2pm is the forecast right now. Don’t think I’ll be going. Maybe the weather will look better tomorrow morning though. ---

And on days like tomorrow everyone gets the added bonus of watching jackasses like me getting sideways all day trying to run too fast on bald r-comps in the rain ---

I opted not to go. Don’t want to run on street tires AGAIN, and don’t want to chance driving on the victos, plus with how low the “tread” is, I don’t even think they’d make the drive out and back. ---

About 2/3rds through my work assignment (we ran heats so work was for 3 sets of runs) I was wishing I would have stayed home. What miserable weather.
