Thanks, Mary! Got it posted up in Scikotics... Hopefully we can get some folks out there for ya'll!

 

i would definately go but ill be in Ohio, crap.

 

Thanks Stu. That would be great. Tim Hyden is the man to contact for any info.

As always the more the merrier.

 

No problem! I'll be in Myrtle Beach visiting some Scikotics and taking a vacation for this event, so best of luck and please take some pics!

I contacted Tim for some other information though, look forward to talking with him.

 

i WILL be there, with the xb, it has summit point experience under it's belt

 

also a quick heads up to those coming out, for tech inspection be sure to have your cars, including trunks empty. remove any stereo speakerboxes that aren bolts down (i'd remove them for weight anyways) and remove your floormats.

 

Good info!

no problem

i'll be sure to bring a fresh new roll of blue painters tape for persons to borrow as well

i've missed doing autocrosses and motorsports stuff since the sti is all but gone. so i really hope this becomes a fairly regular thing tim said that he has 20 or so people confirmed for the event

 

Awesome, I'll give him a call and see if we cannot get some type of connectivity for a good number so folks know what to expect.

 

i left the guys at ptuning a message to see if they could round some cars up i know the time attack tc isn't quite ready yet, but it's close (plus that setup wouldn't be the best on an auto-x course even though it is fairly low lag)

 

Nice! I left Tim a message seeing if we can get a first name listing at least, get some type of number folks can get an idea off of...

i'm debating mounting some hankook ventus's on my 16" oz superturismos for the event but that could be mean of me to do (they aren't R comps though) i should play nice and show up on my kumho k16 solus's

 

Coming to shut it down, eh?

 

i'm pretty handy behind the wheel (a fair amount of auto-x, rally-x, hillclimb, tracksay, nasa time attack and stage rally experience and work part time as an instructor at summit although that's mainly due to jens scott liking having me around for marketing purposes) and the one time i autocrossed the xb on the crap OEM goodyears i pax'ed 41th out of 130+ drivers

disappointing evo, sti, elise, miata (don't laugh they're great auto-x cars) , mazdaspeed3, corvette, catherham and s2000 drivers by beating them in raw time and pax scores. i out pax'ed gregg olsen, larry olsen and andrew baker as well, all very good autocrossers (greg and larry are nationally competitive) gregg and larry's raw times were quicker then mine though.

i'm not trying to boost just saying that it could be done in a lowly xb haha tC's are GREAT autocross cars though, i haven't seen more then one out there being campaigned nationally but i'm pretty sure i could be competitive at the national level in a tC, having driven a mini and miata the class leaders.

 

myself and a fellow NASA autoX'er from Noics will be in attendance. at the LEAST a head count of 2. how big is the usable area for the course? im used to rather large courses autoX'ing with NASA. im not expecting it to be summit point but hopefully its not the size of a bathroom. 3rd gear?

i'm expecting it to be a small tight course as it's a school parking lot. i'm thinking 2nd gear will be a no go. if you've ever run an event at harry grove stadium (frederick) i'm thinking that's likely the size lot we'll have.
not a fed ex sized.

 

wow kewl!

 

man oh man i really wish I could go. Any chance on another one like this, this year?
