7:45 - arrive and take spare tire and other loose items out of car
8:00 - walk the course (grab someone that looks like they know what they are doing)
8:30 - pay registration
8:45 - walk the course
9:30 - tech the car
9:45 - walk the course
10:00 - do the novice walk through
10:30 - drivers meeting

Or the more entertaining version.
8:00 still sleeping
…
…
9:28 arrive and register
9:45-10:30 Look lost, but refuse to ask questions
10:30 Drivers meeting. Goof off talking to your buddies but don’t listen
11:00 First run, refuse an instrutor because you’re too cool. Go through 2 gates, go off course, get so lost you actually stop mid course and ask a course worker for directions.
11:02:30 Finish first run.
11:02:32 Safety steward finds you, explains that your next run WILL be with an instructor, sends you to get work assignment
11:10 Person you’re working with is laughing about “the guy who got lost and asked for directions”, not knowing it was you. Hey, everyone looks the same with a helmet.
12:00 2nd run, this time with an instructor, much more fun. You realize you do need to listen to the old pro’s and actually walk the course. You have much more fun at your next event, but you had to get up earlier. 
Who was that!?

I don’t know, but I will never forget seeing a car stop on course and ask for directions. The parts I know for a fact are true are
- First timer.
- Refused an instructor.
- Did zero course walks.
- Did get better later in the day.
The rest I either assumed or made up for comic purposes.
I stopped for directions once at an MBR event - I couldn’t remember if I was supposed to be on the right or left of the green cones…

haha clever and comical. a great combination.
Who else is in for their first event? It’s never too late in the season to get started!
I think I’ll come out in something different this time… something silver… if it stays running for the next few days.

Dew it! It’s a ton of fun, and everyone’s more than willing to show n00bs the ropes.

Are you hitting on me?
I’m out. Weather is going to be too nice to pass up taking the boat out.
The weather has been nice almost every weekend this year, its time to find some time for autox. I will be there.
I’m in pittsburgh right now. Sorry guys, I won’t be able to make it back
I won’t even be there to watch. 
I’ve got a pile of lumber, a few bags of mortar, and a fucked up garage waiting for me to defuck it. :tup:
