Autocross

Okay, I know we've been slack here, but Dobrick and I are picking up the ball as much as possible in the given time. We're working on some "Poor Man's" ideas to make this as much fun as possible.

To give an idea of the general layout, this will be a shortish course with elements that will highlight the SyTy's stengths (60' launch area, etc...), and won't exploit it's weaknesses (no areas where u might roll a Ty :D). Cones have become an issue as the local Kentucky club wasn't able to lend us any, so we're scrambling to supplement that, but we'll have something by NATS. Depending on the number of runners, this shouldn't be a long (time-wise) session, so you should get plenty of runs if you so desire. Times will be stopwatched and handwritten, so don't get upset if we're not exact with the times (that's what local events are for).

In the meantime, we need a headcount, so if you plan on running, please reply below.

Also, if you don't plan on running, but would like to help (cone retrieval, time writing, stop watching, etc....), please indicate below.

All joking aside, for those of you who haven't tried autocross, YOU NEED TO!! It's a fricken blast, WAY more fun then drag racing. My Dad and I used to race togather every other weekend back in MN before I moved out here, and I miss it like crazy... My truck isn't ready for an autox, or I'd definately hit it up at Nats.

PLEASE DO! Yeah, the more cones the merrier. I'd rather have way too many than having to lay pillows down for a slalom (don't laugh....it's been discussed).

I'm gonna hafta bring a pocket bike as well......The Great Hoodini (the chopper) ain't ready yet (some guy in the NE is holding me up :lol:).

Stopwatch is fine by me.

No sweat on the tree.....bustin ya ballz.

I don't see us having any heavy braking zones.....so this design should be brake (and get-back-home) friendly.

I hear you. I really hope i get to trailer the Sy so i dont have to worry about breaking during the drags or auto-x. Cant wait for the auto-x though. Should be real fun.

Re: Autocross

I’ll try it out and may be able to get another volunteer to help out with the cones or time keeping.
