Bob Davis is coming down from Connecticut. I asume Billy is coming too, a very good young driver in their ES Miata. It will be a fun battle in ES Sunday!

I guess Matt and I could battle it out in completely stock MCS's, I could try and get my wife to let me bring hers. :p

I voted I would love to attend the autocross at Wachovia Center, but now I cannot make it. Sorry to do that to you guys, but I just found out this past Sunday that I have to go in for an MRI on Saturday. Hoping it's nothing serious.

No way. The Mini was a one time only Boeing event experiment.

With only 85 pre-registered at 11:45PM the night of registration close, what is the estimated number of runs per driver? I usually start to do some damage by run #9 or somewhere thereabout. :D

We'll get some walk-ups, but we'll probably go with 2 heats run 2x, so probably 6 runs. If we get a huge number of walk-ups we'd go with 3 heats and 5 runs.

I'll be there with the RX7. Can't wait! Anyone looking to unload some A6 rubber now that the season is over? I am looking for rcomps in various sizes (275/35/15, 225/45/16, 245/45/16, 265/45/16, 225/45/17, 235/45/17, 245/40/17, 255/40/17, 275/XX/17). Please let me know if you can bring a set tomorrow for sale?

Looks like I will be codriving with Paul in STX so I reckon I'll be his number with a 1 in front of it. Gotta dig up some magnets.

You will need to get a spotter if you want to go on the course to take pictures.

I would like to apologize to everyone that was working the course during my runs. That kart was a handful. :oops:

All in all today's event was AWESOME!!! Great course, beautiful fall weather, insanely close competition and even better hospitality from Comcast Spectacor :toast: Thanks for everyone that came out (and a double thanks for those that drove a good distance).

Keep an eye out for this site on the Philly 2010 season schedule :thumbup:

Jeff,
You do know about the new rule for non-point events?
Check the supps, I think it says that for each run you hit more than 3 cones you have to buy the course workers a beer of their choice. Also every multiple of 3 is another beer for each worker.

(I think I owe the heat 2 workers a round myself. :oops: )

I hope you recovered all four. Vette wheels are not cheap.
