lets get a gtg going!
-
how about tomorrow night sometime? does that work for people?
-
ok...so which is gonna work better, tonight or tomorrow night?
-
wednesday will be a nicer night (60s) insatead of 50s tonight...
but yeah, I might swing out anyway (but like I say, after 9:00) so if anyone's gonna meet up, I'll check back when I get home tonight and head out.
otherwise, how about 7:30 Wednesday night (I don't know, where's a good lot? Walmart again?)

if its a dirt track wouldn't that make it more rallycross than autocross? If you guys REALLY want to autocross or do a road course, I strongly suggest looking into www.aarrf.com and doing some racing in St. Cloud. They also have a drift course. If you go, tell Llew and Charlie that I said hi. Next race is in a couple weeks I think. Oh, and its like $70 to race, there is no prize money, its just a track day.
Also, Minot, ND is having Autocross this weekend at Motor Magic.

is it that much?
I'd look into joining MNAutoX when they are in St. Cloud. I believe it's around $30 to race (look at www.mnautox.com) with them at their events. They'll also run on a "course" down in bloomington, otherwise I beleive all of the rest of their events are "parking lot" style.
A dirt track is well, yeah.... okay I guess?
As far as real autox in this area......if someone else is seriously interested (I am) lets do some thinking this winter and see if we can come up with an applicable area (parking lot for instance) to hold such an event. ...then talk to either the badlands chapter of SCCA or MNAutoX (or SCCA-LOL or whatever) and see if they'd be intersted in coming in with their timing equipment to run the show... (I think it was MNAutoX that ran the AutoX at the fargo dome back when the dome first went up...read that on their website here this spring IIRC)
but yeah, back to your regularly scheduled programming.. (I guess if someone is intersted in that whole AutoX concept, PM me or something sometime....we can do some talking/deliberating)

Heh, wasn't trying to discredit you or anything just clarifying. It does sound fun...reminds me of growing up on my parents farm (300 acres of unused pasture land 300 feet from my house....ahh...the memories)

Our new toy I got is a 92 osmobile Achiva. Quad 4 fWD. Its a nice car its too bad we are going to destroy it.
BTW its needs a water pump and for a Quad 4 water pumps are $400/900 with out install. So its totaled.
Better to correct some one then let them keep doing something wrong!
-
so wed night?
how about walmart at 8pm?
-
I chatted a bit from someone from the badlands and they mentioned they had done the Fargodome one. They haven't done it at the dome since because it cost so much and there was too little interest.
I've been a bit spooked lately though about running my car at a track, too many stories of people losing their warranties over it. But it'd still be interesting to watch or film events, help tune cars or just be involved somehow.
-
not too many people seem to be interested in a get together, nick. Im all for it anytime of the week though, the sooner the better. there seems to be a lot of new members and itd be cool to see what theyve got. so...lets say Walmart at 8:00 pm wed night.
-
7:30 could work too...doesn't really matter...i just thru 8pm out cause that seemed to be a good time
