Alabama SCCA Autocross Sunday 9/9

Alright, I'm DEFINITELY making this one (barring tragedy or catastrophic failure...). This time, the event's not the day after we have a night event that runs until 1:00 AM lol.

This time, you've got 3 weeks notice. Matt, that's plenty of time for you to schedule a day off of work . Since there are exactly zero solos in Atlanta for the month of September, I foresee a fairly large Georgia contingent at this event. I'd really enjoy seeong the familiar faces again, and of course seeing some new ones.

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

I'll be there when the gates open, just look for a guy with a backpack ( my laptop/digi cam/vid cam ) In a black P5.

oh, and I tried to drive a miata/mx-5, and it just wasn't going to happen. I would have had to steer using my pelvis. Plus my legs were still flexed past the pedals and couldn't see much because my view was obscured by the top of the windshield.

LOL I could see that as being a problem

If you want to take pictures on course, make sure you talk to the event chair / steward / whatever about getting a spotter. There aren't any problems if you're just on the sidelines

Bob, if you want some video footage, I've got a roll bar camera mount. I'll just need you to hit record / stop @ the beginning / end of my runs.


Ok, so Bob's watching, Todd and I (hoping for more, we'll see) are coming from Atlanta. Matty, you still in?

I'm hoping to get there around 8:00. I'll be meeting up whoever comes from ATL in Douglasville, then caravaning over.

For directions to the site, here's the link:

Just pop in your home address and it'll hook you up
