Bah, it's unfortunate that all these dates seem to conflict with our own club's events.

We did? Where, how, when?

Brian, I'd love to participate in the Corvette club's autocross on June 4th, but it's the same day as the club run down south for the Jet City Fieros Picnic in Arlington.

So on that weekend, I plan to be autocrossing the next day with the Porsche gang.

It's too bad about the date conflicts.

I haven't got a list of ALL the various autocross dates in front of me at the moment, but I do know that there's a Fiero club event planned on every one of three Corvette club's autocross dates this summer. That's really unfortunate, because it's going to take it's toll on participation in these events.

I'll be missing the first Corvette club autocross this coming Saturday as the Arlington event is kind of a special once-a-year event with Fiero people from hundreds of miles around attending.

However, as much as I'd also like to take part in the Fiero club activities scheduled for July 30 and August 27, I won't be, as I don't want to miss those Corvette club autocross dates. Obviously I'm not the only club member faced with this dilemma.

I wonder if it's possible to re-schedule the club activites for those days to other dates that don't conflict with autocross events (since there are now quite a few of us within the club who wish to hit the track).

Anyway, just putting that out there for consideration.

After looking over all the autocross dates (as put on by the four various clubs/organizations), it appears that there are Fiero club event-date conflicts with only the Corvette club autocross dates on July 30 and August 27. The club events are the Whistler/camping trip and the Chilliwack run respectively.

If our club could move one or both of their events to the weekends before or after the scheduled dates, there would be no conflicts with any other autocross dates. I notice though that the Whistler/camping trip is a 3-day event, so moving it to a regular 2-day weekend wouldn't work (although just a Whistler run, no camping) could still fly on a Saturday or Sunday.

I'm not asking the club to consider doing this just for me There are about a half-dozen club members that this effects. Hopefully a change of dates would result in more club members being able to participate in those two club activities.

I'm sort've in the same boat as Patty. I love autocross, but my loyalty is to our car club first, autocross second. Hopefully, we can find a work around, but if not, I'll be missing the autocross events.

Well, as much as I want to see it, I'm still hitting the road. It's not like it's game 7.

Hmmm.... wonder if I can get my dad (he's 91) to record the game on my stand-alone DVD recorder?

Get a PVR. That stuff is awesome. I haven't missed an episode of my favourite shows in months. Works well for the games too.

The one we have is 500GB... I have ten movies on it, and I still breached 5% of the memory. Otherwise, feed the PVR in to the DVD recorder later, and then record the video that the PVR puts out. That way you'll have it in material form.

I've started ripping out the interior of my car to install a video/data logger so if I get it back together in time then I might come out and test it, as well as get some baseline settings for my new shocks.

Loyalty:
- Family and health
- Canucks
- Performance driving, then social:)

Only reason for me now... Tires, My tread will wear too fast and not
investing for new tread on my 17's this year:(...have some real nice
Enkei's if anyone's interested:)
