46 is not bad if were in Frederick...with the Sun... imho

Thanks for the feedback on this. I'll definately look into these systems.

"Super Cold Air" = more horsepower (ok, maybe not THAT much...) lol

As for prepaying, I was thinking we could let someone preregister and not show up 1-3 times during a season, but make them pay *before* the event after that. That wouldn't punish someone for getting sick, having a car break, etc. and would discourage the habitual no-shower. Then again, that's a lot...

I'm ready...
and I'm always ready to lend a hand setting up, and tearing down.

Count me in as well.

I finally got my magnetic numbers too...and that right there would have made me faster! Brian would have to make way for the new fastest Honda.. lol I haven't been a member long, but I had a great time this season and have learned a lot, and I'm already jittering because I can't get my fix. I was re...

My family and I offer our condolences.

I requested some information from the Delaware location. I also found this: Adults Team Leagues - Next League Starting November 3, 2008 Three Person teams will run one night per week for 8 consecutive weeks. Drivers each week will earn points for their team and top teams at the end of the 8-weeks se...

So when is CDC getting it own airfield?

Is this the new format for CDC come next year?! lol

cool. yeah, shoes I can handle....instruction, well my wife thinks I don't listen well ... lol... but I can try, hehe...

I found the website for the sterling place ... $200 for all day enduro = 1 team (3-8 drivers)

Haven't found the one in delaware yet.

When you rent these places, do you need to bring your own Kart, or can you rent them as well?

I'm in for that ... ^

Awesome, thanks

I'll take a look at these in detail tonight.

Looking for some advice on a decent Data logger...has anyone worked with any of them? Can I pull enough useful information off the OBDII to go that route - like steering inputs, throttle control, etc.? I like GEMS and Motec, but I haven't found anything in the realm of possiblity for a low-budget ra...

Dave, thanks I always forget about NASA ...i'll check that out.

I liked the course as well, really showed the flaws in my cars' bad understeer, but more importantly my driving/steering Inputs....so much so that I've finally done some suspension changes...mostly camber and toe....can't wait to try it out this Saturday! Joe, thanks for putting that nice tight turn...

I've gone here twice now for lunch specials. I like it alot. I've had thier Pizza and Rueben...both were very good...even thier salad was nice an fresh. Pricing was pretty good considering the area too.

Are there any winter events/courses/training?

What does everyone do during the off-times - as it relates to AutoX or Road Racing?

I am hoping to be able to, at the very least, keep my skills up - if not improve on them.

Didn't know if you were still interested in new places, but what about Martin State Airport? http://www.martinstateairport.com/ in Essex, MD?

Cool, I'll have to check it out...I work in Crystal City on Jefferson Davis Highway.

A thank you to all the club organizers; I had a really great time - I tried to stay for the second half but unfortunately I couldn't. Francois helped me a great deal with my driving - thank you so much! Mae was doing a great job announcing, and making it more lively during the runs - I always enjoy ...

Kyle, Thank you for the followup. Yes, i'm new to Auto-X and racing for that matter; only one event so far (August 30). It was a lot of fun, but you are correct, I was focusing a lot on just trying to not get lost (even though I think that course was laid out a lot more driver friendly than the cour...

I've only been a member a short time, I apologize if this is already been discussed.

I'm going to assume that the course maps are not drawn from scratch for every event. Could we add a course maps section with id and pics? Course can be identified for the upcoming event?
