-Course workers must be on their feet at all times while cars are competing.
-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.

difficulty shall have 10 minutes after the car is scheduled to start, to present the car at the start line. Grid personnel will verify the mechanical

-Directional pylons (pylons which are laid on their side) are for informational purposes and do not count if hit. Directional pylons placed directly adjacent to a penalty pylon must be obeyed or a DNF will result. Directional pylons not adjacent to a penalty pylon are for informational

-Drivers are responsible for the actions of their crew and guests. All must sign a waiver to be present in the pre-grid, grid, staging and course
areas. Waiver forms will be available at registration.
-Refueling of cars on site may be permitted only when accompanied by

I'll be there. hoping for sun this time!! lol. or rain..
From the points we have done over the year, trevor and i are tied in regional for overall and class, and trevor has me by 1 point in club overall and class. So if Trevor beats me, he wins it all, if i beat him, i win. It has been a great battle all year with some very tight finishes between trevor and I. Except for scotia speed world. But at least i had Alan running... :lol: Hoping we can keep this going next year..

We did not drop any events in the club points as we didnt hear if we would be droping one or not. Can anyone fill me in on if we are or not.

Looking forward to it! Amp was my first ever slalom event 2 years ago and I've been having a blast competing and trying to improve ever since.

AMP seems like the best event to get new people involved. It's what got me, Dan and Ben interested last year. Currently trying to convince the NS members on bimmerforums to show up this year. I remember last year had a crazy turnout, i think something like 40 cars.

AMP has always been my favorite as well, the "sea of cones" effect is so much less on the track instead of a lot.... and its the first place I beat Dad with the Mustang :)

I'll be heading down with my best bud/mechanic. I'll attempt to convince him to give it a go with my car. Last year was my first AMP slalom and I approached it cautiously. This year the car is behaving more predictably, so I'll try to give it more beans. :lol:

Gate is "open" at 8am. Every possibility I may be there earlier than that. But I wouldn't say for sure.

Cool video Dave. You've had your Miata for quite some time then! In 2003, I didn't know that autoslalom or AMP existed. As soon as I found out in 2005, I gave it my first try. 8) It was the MMSC display at the Speed Sport car show that informed me that there was more than stock car or drag racing in the region.

OK, just went over the standings for the year. Turns out we have a possibility for a three way tie for first place. Not bad chances either. Joel has 128 points, Trevor and George are now tied at 125 points. This is for the ARMS championship. Haven`t looked at the ASCC one yet. :wink:

Dave,

I really like the old school video. Really shows just how much the track has changed over the last few years!!

My fun 4th run. Was probably fun for whoever got to watch it. Sorry for making you chase all those cones :oops:
Fast forward to about 25 sec for slow motion.

And then my 3rd and fastest run. 130.9. I did hit a cone though. I think my 4th could have broken in to the '20s if I hadn't messed up. Apologies for the music in both. I thought maybe cranking the stereo would make me faster.
