Due to a price increase of $5 from SCCA headquarters, we'll be increasing our military and non-member event pricing to $35 and $40 respectively.  The increase was due to an insurance hike for weekend members. The member price will remain at $25 per event.

There is a bright side as this increase makes becoming a member that much more appealing.  Active military folks get a $35 rebate on your membership and those deployed to hazardous conditions get their membership waived completely.  Those under 24 years old can qualify for a First Gear membership at $60.  This can be coupled with additional discounts from your copy of two weekend memberships and current member referral for $45 off.  At the new $40 a month weekend membership rate, it would only take 3 months to break even on the full membership cost of $80.

Thanks for another great event.  Those other kids missed out on a nice oddball addition to the repertoire of the Wiregrass Region.  We've talked about it for years, but today we finally ran a course in both directions.  Minus some random DNF's, this course probably had the fewest number of cones hit.  We even had a session in which no one hit a single cone. 

Matt once again showed off, but the car formerly known as the POSS2000 wasn't too far behind.  Everyone had a great day and the format made it that much more interesting. 

The results have been posted on the right. We'll have our monthly meeting online in the next two weeks. Check back on our website and Facebook page for more info.  Don't forget about the upcoming price change for the March event.  (Price Change). Thanks again.

Jerry Ledford - Afternoon Run STU 24

Thanks to the folks that braved the morning rain and cold weather to run another unique event.  We ran 5 runs in the morning and the afternoon was a test and tune.  Everyone rolled with the punches and it was a really neat event. 

FTD was taken by the Jesse and Mark took PAX.  A number of people were trying to dial their cars in for the Dixie Tour next weekend.  I wish them all the best of luck and I hope everyone has a wonderful time. 

Don't forget about the price change for non-members.  We will be sharing some information regarding passengers and spectators on site.  Join us online for our monthly meeting later this month.  Thanks again.

POS2000, 48.8

While practice is always better, there is nothing wrong with reading up on the subject.  One of our very own autocrossers, Vivek, not only can wrangle a car with the best of them but he also writes.  He has written some good articles on the how and why of fine cone crushing.  Everyone should take a peek and check it out. http://www.beyondseattime.com/  It’s a good all-around read concerning how to drive an event.
