-While on course, all competition vehicles MUST BE identified by a car number and appropriate car class which must be visible from the timing and scoring area. Cars not meeting this requirement will not be scored.
-Upon successfully completing scrutineering inspection, the Scrutineer will provide a mark to be fixed to the exterior of the car for the duration of the event in a place visible to the Starter (upper left corner of the windshield is recommended). Cars must show the Scrutineer’s official mark or they will not be allowed to enter the course.

areas. Waiver forms will be available at registration.
-Refueling of cars on site may be permitted only when accompanied by

I'm just waiting to hear from ARL to see when they will be done for the day. Then it will be after that.

Leon may make an appearance. If not maybe a Miata. Or Maybe something else. :twisted:

This was always a pretty fun event. Thinking about coming out for this if I can get through the car classing without giving my self a headache. (It's better than time attack classing at least...)

Pretty much what Kevin said. :) Or I'll just bring out the truck. Maybe we need to shed some cars.

In all seriousness, depends if I want to try and shake off a bunch of years of rust and try to be competitive, or if I just want to get some seat time and possibly have a class to my self. (Woohoo default.)

If I want to have a shot at being competitive, it will be the RX8 (Coilovers, Swaybars, intake, exhaust, wheels with regular street tires, COBB Accessport etc.) which, from what I can tell, I think is in STX. It seems to be pretty much the definition of STX.

If I just want to get some seat time, and mess around, it will be the RX7 race car. That I'm not sure if it would just squeeze into Prepared by living in the grey areas, or if it would just go straight to Mod. (It wouldn't be very competitive in either case. Not really built for it.)

I don't really think it matters if you're "competitive" or not. Its not like you're coming out for points?

Run the racecar, sounds like more fun!

Ben is right... running one event, you're really only going for FTD, so run whatever is fastest and/or most fun :D

Nah, not going for points. Meant more competitive from the perspective that a high strung car with no power steering and crappy visibility isn't idea for dodging cones. But, yes, more fun in it's way. We'll see what mood I'm in.

Bring the RX-7. Seat time for you plus track time for the car will be good. The courses we do at AMP are very open. You wont have any visabilty problems. I ran Dave Hudsons legend car at SSW once and couldnt see anything 15Feet and in. Never hit a cone. most likly one of the last events i have run wothout hitting a cone. lol. Plus the RX-7 is just better.

I haven't heard of anyone else camping Saturday night Brent, but if i had my car there I'd leave it if I knew someone was going to be there.


On a side note, just a heads up, there won't be any lunch at the track on Sunday, so bring a lunch if you desire one. There are a couple of places in Shubenacadie, but they're 10 min away, I hear there is a good sandwich shop there, but have never personally tried it.
Or visit Brent's trailer :lol: :wink:

Jacks ship dinner is pretty good, but it isn't "fast" food. You can also get slices's of pizza at the golden star. Be safe and bring a lunch.

Looks like I won't be camping after all. To much to do this weekend. Still trying to get there for Sunday - haven't worked that out yet here.

As for food - Tim (Rescue Crew) coordinated some sandwiches for us the other day that were delivered from town - not sure who thru. Also, if you check with the marshalls, there is a BBQ in their van that could be borrowed as long as someone brought a tank of propane.

Thanks to all the people who showed up today to enter and to help out! Much appreciated! The day went pretty good, with runs in the am even! :wink: Thanks also to those who helped with course set-up Saturday evening, again much appreciated. The course wasn't as fast as a typical AMP slalom, however, it was still a challenge! Also great to see a few faces from NB come down, hopefully you made it home OK Ming.
Congrats to Scott Sinclair on FTD, by 3+seconds. And congrats to Ben B on second (First normal car :orglaugh: ), who was within 8 tenths of the Lo-Cost, however, + 2 Cones :oops: Great day of competition! Also thanks to Scott Montgomerie for keeping me honest in the morning, on the COLD pavement! (There, that's my excuse for Joel getting me by 7 thousandths of a second.... :P )
OH, and I must thank the weather Gods, today was a great day weather wise!!! :D

My fastest raw run, I think. 116.5ish + two cones. Might have been even faster if I hadn't stayed in 3rd from 8 to 9 and bogged down :P
