Couple of quick questions as we have some last minute hurdles to jump on the autocross (something out of our control has dictated some changes). Please reply below if you plan on running the autocross. Please only reply if you know you are going to run (assuming your truck is healthy, etc...):

1) - Are you going to run?
2) - Are you comfortable working the course (see description below)?
3) - Is your participation dictated by a potential trophy or reward for placing in the Top 3 or would you still run if there was nothing to gain at all?
4) - Given the time, would you like to ride along with someone else to learn the course and how autocross works/feels prior to you running on your own?

Working the course simply means that we'll break the group into two heats and while one heat is running, the other heat will be "on the course", working. Working entails occupying a station (section of the course), and notifying the timing tent that a penalty needs to be enforced on the truck on course. Penalties are enforced from hitting a cone and knocking it outside of it's box (if this happens, you'll responsible for placing the cone upright, back in it's box), shortcutting or omitting a section of the course, and from lack of safety (we'll perform a tech session, but anything can happen).

Another reminder. You don't have to have a SyTy to run.

Bringing a daily driver? Run it.
Bringing a rental? Run it.
Bringing a scraper bike? Take that sh*t back home you dumbass.

Anyone else? If not, I'll do 5 trophies and everyone gets one. :)

1) - Are you going to run? Most likely
2) - Are you comfortable working the course (see description below)? Can i wear a mini skirt?
3) - Is your participation dictated by a potential trophy or reward for placing in the Top 3 or would you still run if there was nothing to gain at all? I just want some special attention from Harmon
4) - Given the time, would you like to ride along with someone else to learn the course and how autocross works/feels prior to you running on your own? I can't walk straight, running surely isn't going to be good. I will just drive.

Your mini skirt is preferred. I'll assign you and Harmon to the same worker's station. ....kill 2 bird with one stone (though we may have to cancel the event if Harmon gets a peek under that skirt when you bend over to pick up a cone). :barf::boink:

Re: Autocross at Nats 2013

1) - Are you going to run? Maybe
2) - Are you comfortable working the course (see description below)? Yes. Even if I dont race a vehicle I will work the course
3) - Is your participation dictated by a potential trophy or reward for placing in the Top 3 or would you still run if there was nothing to gain at all? Like Renz, I will run for fun
4) - Given the time, would you like to ride along with someone else to learn the course and how autocross works/feels prior to you running on your own? I would ride along for fun not necessary to learn the course or anything.

.....but it's the only way you could have possibly taken the "King of the Curves" plaque home. One is already in TN; I didn't need two ;).

Re: Autocross at Nats 2013

I won't have a truck. Might steal Jeremy's again....might not....have to see how it goes. Might bring the new Focus down for some Autocross fun, and "rental racing" action :D :D

1) yes
2) yes
3) no
4) I'm somewhat of a veteran, and would be willing to offer "ride alongs", as well as "instruction" via the Focus if someone wants to race, but doesn't want to beat on their own car. It's a '12 Focus SE with a 5spd, so it's super easy to drive, and is pretty forgiving all-be-it FWD. Don't really want to loan the car out for "fun runs" but wouldn't mind helping out with the instruction if needed.
