Thanks for the replies everyone. Is there a way to get a pre race inspection to ensure my car is legal before I pay for an event?

Here is my best comp run. Thanks to the Wongs for the great handling ride.

they are to be 5 seconds, as announced in the driver’s meeting

Are the trackcross cone penalties 2 or 5 seconds? The 01/20/2025 results appear to be recording 2 second penalties.

Brian Miller and I should be in SS for the track day.

Fun course... my best run placing me in the middle of the pack in 73/151 drivers

Results from the 01/19/2024 autocross and 01/20/2024 trackcross have been posted to the results page. Please report any corrections in the thread. Also, the official 2025 SST pax was recently updated from 0.832 to 0.837. Results from both events have been updated to use the latest number (0.837).

Unfortunately we do not have a venue for Feburuary. If we secure one, it will be announced on this forum. In the meantime, please look into Sierra Vista event on Feb-9 at "Sierra Vista Pad". https://www.sierrasportscarclub.com

Thanks Ken! That's what I thought. I'll continue using my helmet for now for events then.

2010 are legal for 2025, most likely not for 2026

I was told at tech on Sunday that my helmet couldn't be recertified because it's an M2010 and that 2015 are the oldest helmets we can use as per Chris Steele. The national Solo Rules state on page 46 that M2010 helmets are eligible for 2025; can someone please clarify? I'm trying to get every ounce of life I can out of my old, well-used helmet.

Lotus run...

Here's the spin from the red Tesla's front camera. I hope you enjoy as much as I did 😁

I understand that the gem show is in town and is a higher parking lot priority. Would not surprise me if they are looking for alternatives. Maybe Musselman.

Are there really no Tucson Autocross events in January for February? Just double checking.

I would absolutely not volunteer to do this event support job anymore if I didn't get at least a trifling preregistration out of it. There are other event jobs that demand a lot, but just to inform those who have never done it, this is what course setup is like: For me, it's about 0.5 hour of counting squares and writing out course dimensions on critical parts of the course map beforehand, then a 2-hr. drive down to AMP, then 2 to 3 hours of setup, then a 2-hour drive home. The day before an event, I devote approximately 7 hours total of my time, buy gas, and buy 2 meals. Setup is both physically and mentally demanding. You need gloves, muscle strength to carry stacks of cones, and a basic understanding of geometry. It is nothing at all like course pickup. Every course cone except the laydown pointers and finish chute is placed very closely, most within a foot or so, to the course map using a survey wheel. They are not just tossed around by eyeball. You get a high-quality layout pretty close to what you studied using the online map earlier in the week. It is also necessary to do a layout accurately in order to spread the course out to utilize as much of the available pavement while at the same time meeting the legal edge of course and section-to-section separations. We could lose our insurance coverage if there is an accident, and we did not. Event before this, there were only 3 of us to do setup and we had to wait until a CA based driving school picked up their course and we couldn't start setup until after 4 pm. We were also told we had to be gone when the AMP guy was ready to leave. It was getting dark when we finished. I was totally beat and stressed out from trying to get it done in time. I was not up to driving the event the next day. I stayed home to recover.

Perfect, thanks Kim!

will bring you one Kim

Is anyone bringing extra annual tech forms tomorrow? I wanted to bring one, but forgot to go to FedEx in time and don’t own a printer. No problem if not, but figured I’d check.

Battery has found a home.

I just went with a lithium battery for more weight savings. This is still 100% good but is 4 years old. It has never seen Az heat other than driving, garage has a/c and on a battery tender when it sat. It still cranked my 3.5L V6 fine but likely isn't the battery for a V8. It would be best if you have a Miata or other 4cyl. I'm just west of the Scottsdale Airpark.

BRAND NEW! 4x100 15x7.5 et38 949 racing 6ULs, these are already discontinued in this size. I ordered them and realized I liked the old style better. Also, my Miata does not need 5 sets of wheels… Asking $700 I’m planning on going to both Vegas Pro Solos and can bring them there if anyone is interested, I can also have them delivered to the Phoenix Tour! Located in Tucson

PAX Index Last update January 14, 2025. I see SST (was 832) is now 0.837 and EM (was 912) is now 0.916 Anyone else see any other changes?

Here is the road course for MLK 1-20-25 PASR @ AMP. As always, changes maybe made at the time of set up due to safety, flow and visibility. This is the course designed by Nick Sloan for the '23 event. AMP Road Course v2.pdf
