If anyone found a black water bottle with Lifetime embossed on it, please let me know. Thanks.

Just wanted to thank everyone for showing up, being respectful and enjoying the day teching and weighing our cars before the 2026 season gets started. We teched 59 cars and weighed all of the ones you see below in this great reel from Doug and Michelle James. Special thanks to Doug and Michelle for manning the scales all day to allow me to mingle and help everyone else. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1196591579352913 See you all Saturday!!

Interesting update, there are currently 160 drivers confirmed for January 10th event and 18 more on the waitlist. Huge thanks to all of our members and prospective new members for continuing to support our Region!! Also make sure that you are registered for the Awards Banquet being held directly after Event 1 if you plan to attend as we need to give Saddle Mountain a final tally in the next day or so. https://msreg.com/PASR2025AwardsBanquet

The cap of 160 Comp entries was carried over from AMP which allows for more runs per driver and a better overall event experience. The cap on guests allowed onsite was removed at PR.

Hello All, We apologize for the stutter in last night's registration, still not sure exactly what happened but it all appears to be working okay now. Registration will open at 8 pm tonight. We are thinking the process will start up right where you left off with the error last night, but be prepared to have to start at the beginning again. https://msreg.com/PASRSoloFall2025Event4 Sincerely, PASR Registration Team

After trying everything we could to get MSR to work properly, we made the decision to close registration for now and will reopen it tomorrow at 8 pm assuming everything starts working again. We will update everyone via email once things are set for sure.

Each event has a completely new and separate unique URL link to the Speedwaiver for that event. This is why having a guest register on MSR helps speed things up at waivers. An alternative is for drivers to send their copy of the unique Speedwaiver link directly to their guests, so they can create and sign their own Speedwaiver ahead of time...again to speed things up at waiver station. The least preferable option is also available, Waiver station has a QR Code guests can scan with their phone, go to link, fill out Speedwaiver, sign Speedwaiver, then get picture back for waivers to verify, then enter. All while people behind them are waiting in line ready with their Speedwaivers already done.

For clarification, for a long time we limited entries to 140 and each event at AMP had positive cash flow. Our goal is always to break even or make just a little bit on each event. We only raised the entry cap to 160 in spring of 2025. Our first few events at PR have seen entries of around 140 which is similar to what we used to have at AMP and each of those events at PR has lost on average $800 each. A case can be made that holding 4 events in a 30 day period also led to lower participation at some of the events. How long should we continue to run events losing $800/event? The cost of holding events at PR is considerably higher than at AMP, but at the same time...MUCH lower than any other option we currently have. How would the membership feel about paying two and a half times the current entry fee just to race on a better surface? The board will continue to monitor cash flow of events and adjust if necessary.

I thought the course was fun to drive as well, never felt pinchy anywhere and we got to let them bald eagles scream at times too. If I did have one minor comment it would be about the decreasing distance to the last cone on the start slalom. That poor cone got hammered all day...several times be me alone.

I enjoyed the course, bit tight for us larger cars but super-fast in spots as well. I thought there was a lot of available grip and didn't hear too many rocks getting kicked up into the fenders. How did the course hang in later in the day? Here's my 46.0xx on my 4th run.

BTW, I was also pissed when the GoPro Studio app went away, it was my favorite way to edit video from my camera. I now use CapCut and have gotten pretty good with it, just an alternative you may try.

Here's the method I use now, created after losing a TON of data from either GoPro or Solostorm failure over time. I use Solostorm to collect run data only. I use my Hero 10 to collect video only. I run a power cord to my GoPro to keep it on the whole session and manually start it while buckling in and stop it after each run. I had to upgrade from my Hero 3 because I could not import video into the newer version of Solostorm from my old Hero 3 When I get home, I trim the video I want to overlay my solostorm data onto, then transfer that video from camera or PC to tablet via USB cord. I then import the video onto the log I choose, sync real time with data, then overlay. It's a longer process after the fact, but it seems to be foolproof and I haven't lost any data since going to this method. There are some tricks I had to learn about the Hero 10 to help it capture usable video as well, if you upgrade your camera I can help the learning curve there as well.

I was slightly incorrect; here are the settings I've used for quite a while successfully.

I'll post a picture of my settings a bit later when I get my tablet charged up. I think I use 5 mph as start stop triggers. Sometimes the logger will trigger on the way to stage but resets when you stop and is ready to go once stayed. I used to use 20 mph triggers but it would shut off on GoodGuys corners so I lowered it without any issues.

I am pretty Solostorm proficient but have zero experience with racecapture. Im curious though, when you did your test lap...did the tablet show "logger started"? Your issue may have something to do with your trigger settings to start and stop the logger. I had to scale back and disconnect my GoPro from Solostorm due to issues. You might try disconnecting the camera at least for now until you get the racecapture stuff working. Im assuming you did the accelerometer configuration in your tablet already correct. It has to be done first as well I believe
