Sometimes life ain’t fair…..😪

It’s interesting looking through the current entry list. Seeing who’s coming with what. I see a couple of Kia Stingers are coming out😲. That should be interesting. Horsepower galore. But, one is misclassed. The 6 Cyl is F Street, and the 4 Cyl should be G Street.🤔 I feel like I’m bringing a billy club to a gun fight.😉 I wish my wife would loan me her Veloster R.😎

I know I'm really looking forward to another season of autocrossing at AMP. It's been a while for most of us, and surely a few things have changed since last April. So, what's new with you? Tires, wheels, suspension pieces, even cars. What's got you looking forward to coming back this year? Change classes too, maybe? What challenges are you expecting or wondering about? And, maybe YOU'RE new! Who are you, what'cha got? What are some of your goals.

Thanks for the visual. I’ve signed up for reminders for the rest of the events, but, this is new. In the past, somehow, I would always receive an MSR email notice of future events. I still do for Sierra Vista and Tucson events. I suspect those Clubs do so as a service. In any case, I’m now set.

No more automatic email reminders that Registration is opening? I've always gotten those before.😥

Kim, don’t all of our AZ Region Guests have be registered in the notes field of MSR by each driver? They can’t just show up? Pretty sure Lance posted this weeks ago. Is that protocol posted online somewhere? Or did that change?

Wow. Very good news, and a long time in coming. Many thank you's in order to those who are making this happen. Very well done.👍😎

So what kind of adventure is this? Just a race, special event, a Walter Mitty experience? And who are you guys? Please share a little more. Might help your cause.

It has always been so, however, these days there are no TO runs. They just combined extra runs into your day, so everyone gets five or six runs. A current official needs to clarify if next season will continue that arrangment.

Thanks, Lance. Exactly what was needed.😎

How would this be done? "Registering someone during Registration". In the notes section? They wouldn't be able to be entered as drivers. This needs more specifics as to procedure.

And shortly thereafter it was approved on the Meyers family activity calendar. 😎 So, it seems like a “go”, then.😂

Hmmm. Not a boating club. Well, we’re at an airport, so how about this?😉😉😉

If you can find a Discount Tire with a sharp manager who has consistent staff that stay long term, and you develop a relationship with ONE specific technician who knows what he's doing, yes, I've used them before. But I could not find a location with all of the above. The good guys kept leaving. And know this, not every installer knows how to use that equipment properly. I am very careful with who touches my equipment. I have had wheels marked, as well as balanced incorrectly. Cruz essentially makes no mistakes, has been there a long time, and absolutely knows what he's doing. That's my reason for going back to him. Oh yeah, that SCCA Discount is nice too.👍

My plan........Sweet Water Village (exit 175) north on the 587 -> 87 to the 60 west to 101 north. Adds 16 minutes to my trip home. Thank you, Manfred.👍 See map...... I like maps better.......

Yes, the Lift Shop at 1911 E Bell Rd Phoenix AZ 85022 United States Phone - 480-777-7700 Everyone there knows about Cruz and his SCCA discount. I am not sure about receiving Tire Rack shipments, call and ask. I’ve used him a few times each year as my tires wear or my cars change. Note he is a master at mounting our special stiffer tires, and they use the latest “touchless” equipment. Never had any issues.

I am unaware of Sierra Vista using PayPal for event payment. We’ve always just taken a check. Very sure Manfred or Kate with Border Region will be able to check for you and see what you did.

Ken, at a number of our previous Solo events (before your time I think) Ted L. Tim B, Britt D. and a couple of other volunteers set up the scales at a couple of our events, taking ample time to ensure they were true. Those times produced very accurate results. Also Brian E. and Mark H a few times had our scales at their homes/garages, leveled properly. Appointments could be arranged for sessions there, some of varying lengths to even allow time for some adjustments. We have not done those things for some time now. Lack of new volunteers. We have the scales……somewhere. Correct. Anything less than trued scales produces only total weights.

Where are the Club Scales? Wouldn't it make some sense as a summer activity for members to have a "weigh day" somewhere during the cooler morning hours? For a small fee, of course.😉

MSR shows lots of options for the summer. Be sure to reset your distance filter to see them all. NM apparently isn’t using MSR, or hasn’t posted their dates yet. For those not able to do the more distant one or two day events, join us poorer people at the Tucson/Sierra Vista events more locally. Musselman this coming Sunday near Tucson being sponsored by SV. Marana Airport the following Sunday.😎

Many of us practice at the Tucson or Sierra Vista Summer Events. They start early and are packed up and leaving usually by 1:00 or shortly thereafter. Before the real heat hits. Very fun. Sierra Vista just added an event at the Musselman Honda Circuit Track Sunday July 18. Check their website soon for more details. SV Website. See you there?👍😎

The SV Club has made some special arrangements so they can host an autocross in July, July 18, at the Musselman Track. More details to follow on their Website soon. SV Website Link Thank you guys (and gals).👍

Read Manfreds notes above, doesn’t sound like it.

Registration is still open I believe, so *if there is still room*, then yes. Go to registration, if green, then yes. You do know they need to register under their own name, right? Own account? Then in your notes and theirs mention your co-drive connection.
