It wasn't bad, but for some reason they allow some 30-40 minutes b/w run groups. You can walk the course (which is nice) a few extra times, but it isn't necessary. I ran in the last group (3rd car to run in the group as well).....my final run was done around 2:40pm. I had changed tires and packed up before the final car finished. That said....I could have been done and on the road by 1:30-1:45 without the 75 minutes break combined.

 

Good improvement from the morning! I like running courses that are over a minute long and that have 3rd gear potential.



Fun course but I probably had the worst drive ever in recent years. Coned away two of my 3 afternoon runs and had one time that was slower than my morning practice runs. My wife almost beat me.

 

Id love to get in 3rd gear... Just on that parking lot I haven't been able to.. where you there!? I did have a rough morning

 

lol were you my instructor?

 

Yup! Remember "keep it in second gear, no need to drop it down to first!"

 

That tip allowed me to drop seconds off my time. Thanks

Next CDC Autox SATurday July 9th at James Woods HS, Winchester, VA

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SATurday July 9th Autocross

James Woods HS in Winchester, VA is the location of the next Capital Driving Club autocross on SATURDAY July 9th.

Registration and tech inspection will be at 8:15 (giving you 15 extra minutes) and will promptly close at 8:45 to try to accommodate the full field, while still giving 6 runs. You must be DONE by 8:45. So if you arrive at 8:15 you won't have a problem. Don't arrive at the last minute.

Due to increases in costs from last year, the event fee for the Saturday autocross is $30 for members and $40 for non-members.

New Bar Codes

Make sure you download the new bar codes for 2011 (some of the early barcodes in early 2010 won't work. So if you want to use last year's barcodes, make sure it is the same format as the new barcodes).

We have a new index for lightweight cars (under 1500 pounds) and the bar codes are now different for small bore cars from the early barcodes. The early bar codes from 2010 just won't work. If you have a car weighing under 1500 pounds, we are in the process of updating it (we can also print it out at the event in this case).

So to be on the safe side, print out new barcodes that can be found on the web forum under autocross section. You have to register on the forum to open the attachments.

If you have problems, you can e-mail me at capitaldriving@yahoo.com or we can also print barcodes for you at the event.

On-line Reservation System

Member reservations (or participants that will join the club upon showing up) for any events can be made at any time. Open reservations for non-members for this event begin Friday July 1st.

New Members

We will be accepting new members at this event. If you plan to join the club at this event, you may make a reservation at this time by doing the following:

1. Use "0" as the member number (a permanent number will be assigned to you after you join and you will get a temporary number for this event)
2. TYPE "I will be joining the club at this event" in the NOTES section when making you reservation.

The annual membership is $30 and is good for 12 months from the date you join.

Special Price for Second Slot

To help increase interested in the June 25th event at James Wood HS in Winchester, VA, we are offering the following special.

For anyone paying for a second slot, the second slot will be $10 off. So if you are a member the second slot for a member will only be $20. If the second slot is for a non-member the cost will be $30 (rather than $40).

The second slot can also be used the same driver (e.g. they would drive in two heats) or for a guest.

Overall, this is 12 runs.

If you sign up for a second slot, make ANOTHER RESERVATION, just type "Second Slot" in the Notes Section. Otherwise, we may think you mistakenly submitted duplicate reservations.

This offer is only available for this event at James Wood HS on Saturday July 9th, 2011.

If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to contact me at capitaldriving@yahoo.com .

Doh. Disregard my above comment, I thought that was a CDC event. Anyone have a vid from the CDC event this past weekend? Curious what they did with the course. Its a toss up between that and BMWCCA (no slaloms) on the 9th.
