Alabama SCCA Autocross Sunday 8/19

We've got the Atlanta Region night event the night before, but I"m seriously considering coming out to this one as well (my car...and driver...are both in serious need of some tuning).

Per the www.alscca.org website:

We normally try to follow this schedule for our events. Local conditions may alter this schedule.

7:00 Gates Open
7:30-9:00 Registration
8:00 to 9:00 Tech Inspections
9:00 Registration Closes
9:00-9:15 Devotional
9:15 Driver’s Meeting
9:45 Workers on Course
10:00 Start Timed Runs
5:00 Trophy Presentation
5:30 Clean Up

SOLO events are held at the Birmingham Race Course
1000 John Rogers Dr.
Birmingham, AL 35210

Not making any promises, but just figured I'd give some of you Birmingham locals (MATT! I'm callin you out. You'd BETTER be at this one!) a heads up

If it's still on, then I'm there... I'll be taking pics and video, but not auto x'ing, as I haven't had the opportunity (read money) to upgrade some key parts on my embarrassingly stock P5

I have the tires for it, but some suspension stuff will have to be replaced (overdue). Next time it comes into town, I will. I love whipping my p5 through the curvies.

I meant to ask, where did you see it had been cancelled?

Anyway, you going to come out? Look for either a blue P5, or a Black Miata (probably the latter)

Well, I'm out. I sheared a stud rotating my tires this evening, which means there's no way I'm going to pass tech. Suckin *****. Big, juicy *****.

Because in the rear of the miata you actually need to remove the entire spindle / wheel bearing assembly. I don't have the equipment or facilities to do it here at the appartment unfortunately. It's not as easy as hammering it out and killing a lug nut putting a new one in.

I'm heading to a shop first thing to see about getting it done. I hate having other ppl touching my car, but sometimes, when you live in an appartment, it's a necessity
