Once again, I had fun...hope everyone else did!

So, what I'm gathering is that the small business shops will usually M&B tires that they didn't sell you. It's the bigger shops (Costco/Merchant/Firestone) that will only M&B tires that they sold you, or they M&B through vendors such as TireRack. Is that correct? I just acquired a set of...

Once again, I had a ton of fun today! I had a few off-course issues at the beginning, but it was still fun. I'd thought about buying two slots. I did that at one of the Winchester meets and I was so busy I almost lost my mind. I think it was BugBomb that spent time with me and revealed my errors. He...

Good. Was just wondering. I'm still new with autocross and especially this club, so I'm unfamiliar with what would happen if there was minimal registration...evidently, we've crossed that threshold with 31 reservations.

What gives?

Wow...just noticed that. What happens if registration is minimal?

Thanks, BugBomb, for making the time and effort to provide this information!

My index class is wrong in the results spreadsheet, but I'm not racing for points, so it's not an issue. For those of us who got an extra slot, can we get those times? I treated those runs as T&T and would like to see the results, if possible. I'd have copied them from the course computer if I h...

Ed, you're on-point about looking at this from the provider/customer perspective. I'm on the fence about accepting your offer of free entry, though. I think that's going to cause respect issues. If that's the case, I'll pass. I'm a troubleshooter by nature and tend to want to fix what I could be doi...

I had a great time at this meet and wasn't going to mention this, but I keep thinking that I might have similar problems at the upcoming meet, so here goes: I had an issue with being called OC numerous times. During the morning session, it was immediately apparent to me the first two runs that I was...

Even with people getting 2 slots?

I'm in for 2.

Thanks for the insight! I've another question. I'm trying to determine the Vehicle Index (for the bar codes). Are Dunlop SP600s considered street tires (I'm assuming so), or are they R-compound tires. I want to select the correct bar code. Dunlop's site doesn't have the wear rating for this tire. ht...

Hi, I'm new to autocross and will be attending tomorrow's scheduled session in Bowie. I've a quick question about tire wear. I'm driving a 2011 STi with the stock Dunlop SP600s. I'm told that it is a crappy tire, but it does well for what I currently do with the car (daily driving, pretty much). My ...
