Yeah, all you guys who thought you were so fast on the final leg of the trip home from Whistler... let's see how good you guys are on a track. Or are you all (except for Brian) pussies? I'm going to be driving my duke powered '84. It'll only cost you 40 bucks to beat my time and rub my face in it. Come on all you wannabee road racer sissies, show me what you can do!

For any that may be interested, we will be meeting at the McDonalds on Harris Road & Lougheed Highway in Pitt Meadows at 7:30am. Gates are usually open by 7:30am, to arrive at 8am, park, unpack and settle in, have tech done on your car, register then walk the course...leads to a 9am drivers meeting and the race is on If anyone has any questions, let me know |

I think I'll leave Gretchin at home, but I'll be there.

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

What happened to Gretchin? Last Thursday you said you'd be racing her.

She's making me uneasy. She speaks, I listen. And what she tells me is that she's in no mood to dance.

Which is exactly why I'm hoping there'll be more of us to help spread out the abuse. Let's go guys, come out and kick some Porsche/BMW/Corvette butt! You know you want to.

My greatest fear is that half-way through the course I'll get confused as to which way I'm supposed to be going through the cones (and end up going over them)!

I've seen that happen a few times. You might need to really study the course not only on paper, but also during the course walk. Then depending on how you feel you can drive it slowly until you're comfortable or do what I did on my first run ever and drive it much too fast and spin out.
 You can always ask someone to ride with you and direct you around the course too.

Knowing what I'm like (despite what some club members may think), I'll probably be going way too fast and end up sending a few traffic cones into orbit.
That might end up being Tristan's job. Gawd help us!

You will have available MANY that can co-drive and be your navigator...and this is why we meet for breakfast and get all settled in early, so we can walk you through the course as many times as required...most clubs have a Novice walk through with an instructor, between the group of us, we will help you through so you can enjoy I would suggest on YouTube to watch as many autocross video's, and view of few of these sites: http://www.eurotuner.com/howto/38238/index.html http://www.gglotus.org/ggtech/autoxtips/autoxtips.htm This site all should read, funny but good: http://www.sfaroc.com/archives/id9.html
