MRCHOIBOI! hey man you must be derrick right? from san gabriel? yeah i have like the preregistration list all memorized! im wierd like that...check it everyday! anyway...yeah ill be at the autox...im actually a SCCA member so im always there (HOPING FOR A TROPHY THIS YEAR...not likely tho).... unless i have some other event to attend to...anyway yeah... ardie will be running his black one... as far as i know ardie and i are the only ones who run our tC's at an autox...so it'll get interested as to see more of us tC's come out! you and ardie are direct competition... he's a lot better than i am... he's got the driving skill and tires... so yeah...but we'll all be running against each other which would be super fun! make sure you print out the half off coupon for your entry fee... since its your first time! so do you live out here in vegas or are you driving from kali for the autox? anyway...yeah looking forward to meeting you ! see you at the event!

AEN!! so you live in nevada trails...i actually practically live there... my boyfriend lives there actually so im always there in the afternoons... you've probably seen my car parked in front of his house... i think you might have opened the gate for me a couple of times before they put speed bumps down the neighborhood.... since then we've been taking the side route to his house so we both dont bottom out... if not then youve probably seen both of us driving on the streets with our number magnets for autox STSL 427 and STS 21 ....can't miss it... and i have the VVT-i badges on my fenders.. couple months back i actually had a dent on the front right fender due to a hit and run at work...and a dent on the front bumper due to my incident last year.... just got it fixed... so yeah you've probably seen me driving around...if anything you've probably driven next to me or something... anyway

AUTOX! yeah all the info...yeah like what derrick said... the preregistration is already closed but open registration at the event opens up at 5 pm... they'll put you in the right class according to car modifications.. they will provide you with numbers to tape onto your car... as well as your class... then you will drive to tech...they'll be checking your car to make sure its "race" safe and ready... make sure the battery is tied down well... brakes work fine...tires etc etc... then you'll be parking again..and get the chance to walk the course... as being a newbie... i would walk the course as many times as possible before the drivers meeting... we'll have the drivers meeting at around 7 im assuming... after that the newbies will be called to the side ...pay extra attention to what they're saying at the drivers meeting... lots of information that will help you in the long run! if youre driving... you're working...by that i mean they will split up the classes into run groups...being that there are about 63 people preregistered and there will be more coming they will split us into maybe two most likely three separate groups... you'll see what i mean when you get there... G1 will run first while G2 works the course... G3 just chills and watches, bathroom breaks... does ride alongs with the people running first... eat...what ever youd like to do...as a newb...you might want to do a ride along... anyway... it goes on from there... you'll see what i mean... as far as entry fees ... since its your first time print this out http://www.lvrscca.org/news/2006/half_off_flyer.pdf so you'll get half off your first time.. instead of paying $40 you'll only pay $20... and then $10 for helmet rental...if you already have a helmet...it must meet SCCA standards... so just incase bring that extra$10...you might want to bring a little more extra for food or drinks..make sure you bring lots of water too! hope to see alot of you guys there...

olahalo!! hey you work at desert toyota? i think i saw you at the last tc meet i went to on thursday night a few weeks back... yeah... i think you were wearing your toyota uniform... you probably know oscar.. he's actually like my service person everytime i go there.. i dont go to anyone else really... he knows about my little racing stories and incidents... and willie ofcourse helps me with parts always! so yeah ive probably seen you...

well looking forward to meeting whoever i will be running into tomorrow...hope to see you there... not just watching but actually racing!

the run down on AUTOX!
5 pm open registration-sign waiver... etc etc
6-6:30 or 7 pm...prep car...tech... walk course
6:30 or 7 pm drivers meeting...grid...
7 pm more than likely start run group one...get into worker stations...

http://www.lvrscca.org/?page_id=11

AUTOX is a friendly environment... its fun... safe.... and well worth it... once you start youre hooked... you wont find haters here...no one hates..no one talks crap...nothing like you see at other events....(if anything we talk crapfor fun and we dont take it up the butt!) everyone respects each other..everyone is willing to lend a helping hand if you let them... you'll definitely learn alot or new things... there are a few people that kill it for everyone... and i know you guys wont be anyone one of those people... so lets have a fun race day yeah!! heheh yippie excited!!!! ill will start a new thread for anyone autox questions you guys might have...or for future autox's ill keep you guys posted... ive got all the events on the schedule... and any changes ill keep ya guys informed!
