Check out the first link Nate posted, the scores are up, and in a readable format no less.

Me and Nate tied for 3rd in the equalized time and we were FIRST amongst the students. In fact we were the only students to break the 50 second barrier!!!!!

It looks like I made it in under the wire for registration, I am on the roster for Sunday and for the rest of the events this summer.

I plan on parking over by the building again.

Hope to see you all there.

All I can say is watch out for the dudes with the low wing, they're all business.
Check the link I posted again fellas, they have some things fixed, and they are continuing to fix the computer problems. I'm impressed they have been working so hard at getting it rectified. Bob, they got you fixed, you are in third, before me and Jerry! Jason in the SRT-4 who came in first was my partner, so needless to say, Ed Locke, our instructor is beaming!

I emailed to get on the wait list. I'll head down there buttcrack early and try to register, but who knows. At least I can take a few pics. Otherwise I'm in for the TSSCC one on April 18th!

I'm going to get there aroung 6:00 AM on sunday.

I pre-registered for the whole season so I'm good to go. I'm getting a new clutch in a week or so so I'm gonna launch the crap out of the car this weekend. I kept bogging at the start b/c my clutch was slipping and it was really pissing me off!

Bob, how were the Falkens in the rain on the way home?

Glad you are going to make it out there man! I can't commit to the rest of the events because of this new house thing that's coming up for me, but I want to do at least one event here in the spring and then a few later in the summer.
I'm gonna say that if registration is at 7:30 am, I would try and get there at (sigh) 6:45 or 7ish. If I don't make it in, I'm down for the TSSCC one on the 18th, that sounds like a great alternative coming up here. Let's hope that time change messes a lot of people up. Aww crap, that means I have to get there at what would be like 5:45 winter time?

Hmm, that TSSCC one is sounding better by the minute. Who's in?

That sucks Bob.

My instructor told me on Sunday to sign up ASAP b/c it was going to fill up fast.

OK, I'm registered for the TSSCC event too.

Let's see I am doing the SCCA event this weekend, an event with BMW where I get to drive the new X3 on an autocross course @ Comisky Park on the 9th (if I spelled it wrong, I don't care, I'm a Cubs fan), Mazda Rev it up on April 17th, and the TSSCC on the 18th. It's going to be a busy, yet very, very fun month of April!!!!!!!

Wow Bill, you are a busy guy! I'm signing up right now for the April 18th TSSCC one. I just don't see the fun at waking up that early to go to an event I might not be able to run. Jerry and Bill, I think because you guys signed up for the whole season you automatically got an entry, I think that's why they are over the number on the website.
By the way, never put shoe polish on your paint!
I'll be investing in those magnetic numbers for sure!

I'm looking into one of those in car camera mounts to record my runs. I think it would be cool to have, plus you could use them to critique your runs and see where you messed up.
