NTAXS Winter Autocross #1 - 01/30/2011

A colleague of mine let me know about this event. It seems interesting but I am unsure what I am doing this weekend, I wanted to go to ECR but right now the weather looks like poop for Sunday. Won't know until we check the weather rock Sunday morning I guess.

The North Texas Autocross Series (NTAXS), presented by the North Texas S2000 Owners Club (NTS2KOC), is hosting our annual Winter Autocross event on Sunday, January 30th, 2011 at Pennington Field.

Pennington Field is located in Bedford, the heart of the Metroplex, on the southwest corner of Central Drive and State Highway 183.

The entry fee is $30 per person and you must pre-register at http://www.dlbracing.com starting Friday, January 14th. There is no on-site registration -- this will be strictly enforced. The event is limited to 60 drivers, so sign up early. Please join us for a great day of racing and fun.

The event will be cancelled if any of the following occur:

- Less than 34 people have signed up by 9 AM CST on Thursday, January 27th.
- At 9 AM CST on Thursday, January 27th, the weather forecast for the event date calls for inclement conditions. In general, we will be looking for less than a 30% chance of rain and a high temperature greater than 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Event cancellation will result in refunding each participant's money.

You get eight runs at NTAXS events, so you will make four runs in the AM session and four runs in the PM session.

8 AM – 9 AM Check-in, Registration, and mandatory Tech Inspection
(You must arrive in time to have check in and pass tech inspection prior to 9 AM)
8:15 AM – 9:30 AM Course open for walking
9:15 AM Novice Meeting (mandatory if new to NTAXS events)
9:30 AM Drivers Meeting (mandatory for all)
9:45 AM First car out
(Lunch and course-walk break between morning and afternoon heats totaling approximately one hour.)

Car Classing is based on engine size:
- Class 1/1R is for engines under 2.3 liters, except Honda S2000 and Lotus
Elise/Exige.
- Class 2/2R is for engines over 2.2 liters, but under 4.0 liters, plus Honda S2000.
- Class 3/3R is for engines over 3.9 liters, plus Lotus Elise/Exige.
- Class S2000 is only for Honda S2000 on street tires.

Rotary engine multiplies displacement by 2.0. Usage of forced induction multiplies displacement by 1.5. (This is in addition to the rotary multiplier, if applicable.) Tires with a wear rating under 140 must use the R class.

I can't make it, I took on-call for a guy this weekend so I'm screwed. Looks like fun though.

Ended up being a great day after all. Went out and shot some videos of some friends that were running.

I wasn't able to run, I waited to long on the weather and missed registration. I spent the day taking shots of my buddies running, I still had a good time!
