Scott - Arizona Border Region scored a large lot at a Sports Complex. The sports complex is named "Kino" and there are a bunch of baseball fields but, no craps and blackjack tables. Although, there may be some private betting going on between some individuals on the games being played.
Their (AZ Border) first event at the Kino Sports Complex is scheduled in October.

Lance is the Event Registration person. You should have sent this through your MSR account for this particular event and request to cancel so he could possibly move somebody from the waitlist. He may see this post but, probably not in time.

What are the various start and site open times for the Kino Sport Complex event? The website shows the gate open time at 8:30 and the driver's meeting almost noon.

I saw that too eons ago and I was wondering if that was still the game plan since it is getting close to the event date and I haven't seen anything official yet.
-
Has the Board decided on event format for the Fall Season yet?
-
OUTSTANDING! Looking forward to attending AZ Border events again.

Jay Balducci, Jay Bucki, and Doug Rowse took positions 1,2, and 3 respectively, in the Porsche Street (Super Street) Class and Kathi Van Der Werf took first in the Porsche Street Ladies Class at the Packwood National Tour. Jay and Jason definitely have figured out the GT4 and looks like that Doug decided to join the Porsche Team and hooked a ride in Kathi's GT4. Good job guys and Kathi.

The yellow OTS Koni Sport Shocks have produced a fair number of National Championships and trophies.😉
I have three National Championship Titles on Koni Yellow Sport Single Adjustable Shocks. I believe there are more championships titles that were had on Konis than Bilsteins. I tried custom valved Bilsteins and they sucked big time in the quick transitions and rode very harsh on the road. The Konis are a lot better shock for the quick transitions and ride great on the road.

If you're looking for decent, not too expensive, off-the-shelf, autocross shock, I would try a Koni Yellow Sport Shock before I would try a Bilstein. The Konis are adjustable and the Bilsteins are not. Another source is Shock Warehouse. Did you try looking at Tirerack?

Try www.carid.com
They usually have stuff in stock when others are out of stock.

Call Ken Ashby, Service Consultant, at Sands Chevrolet, on Waddell Ave. If you mention my name he'll charge you double so he can make up for all the discounts he gives me. He is a straight shooter. They have a bunch old guy mechanics that knows their stuff. I have had great luck with them.

Crows is a very grippy concrete site. Back in the day I remember 90 mph slaloms and the course length was well over a mile and you got five 80 second runs. The little 4 banger cars would always complained about not having enough gearing. Crows was not the best concrete site back in the day. Castle Air Park, formerly Castle Air Force Base, was the best. We use to run on a very huge grippy concrete pad.

No big-boy sizes for my Corvettes. However, they have little-boy sizes for my Porsche. I may have to try these since, we'll probably won't see any Yoks or Falkens until July or so. I might try Nankangs if the Bridgestones don't come out by mid-May for my Porsche.

Go to your MSR account and edit your registration before registration is closed.

Hah, the course looks like it is hair pin shaped. Nice videos... looks like it was a lot of fun!
It was a sweeper turn at the end far from being a hairpin turn with slaloms going out and coming back.

I hope that the Sunoco Race Fuel pumps at the Love's Truck Stop don't go away after the race tracks get torn down.

If anyone is interested in some ZO6 springs, shocks, and wheels, contact Eddie at Forza Automotive in Tempe. He just removed these items from a customer's C7 ZO6 and these items are for sale.

The driver left it somewhere outside the car. I believe he told me that he left it on the roof. If he left it on the roof it should have slid off the roof way as he left the line. The driver was one of the 40 Rollers gang and he was driving a Camaro.

Fixed that for you 😉 The GT4 by no means sucked out there but my ideal GT4 course design would look quite different than Sunday's design. Definitely a speed maintenance course with very few opportunities to utilize throttle. Still a fun time and managed my first ever FTD.
Run 3 - 46.729
Thanks for fixing it. I think the fix from the day before definitely helped for Sunday. I doubt that the GT4 would suck anywhere. It would have been interesting to see how my Cayman GTS would have done yesterday against my Corvette Grand Sport and they are both in the same class, AS.

The course was designed for the Porsche GT4s. Did Nick scrap the Tesla and bought a GT4 and was unable to make the event? Looks like the GT4s are multiplying like Rabbits. I believe there were 3 or 4 at the Test-N-Tune event.

In reading the Phlon Press, I noticed that the red car pictured in "Living the Good Life" and with the caption "Vintage Ford Convertible" and below stating "Fun car at the February Phoenix AZ Solo Region Event", is not a "Ford" Convertible. The car depicted in the picture is a Rambler. And, if my memory serves me right, the car is a Rambler Classic model Convertible.
Now, I'm sure that 98.6% of our members have never heard of or know what a Rambler car is because the Rambler line discontinued producing in the United States in the mid-70s, decades way before most of our members were born. The Rambler line had several models like the AMX, Javelin, Rebel, Ambassador, Marlin, Nash, Matador, and Hornet. In the late 60s, Nash Motors, the company that produced the Rambler line, merged with the Hornet Company, to form the American Motors Company (AMC), which is responsible for producing the famous "Gremlin".
My question is, was this a test or a trick to see if anyone was paying attention to the contents of this publication and if anyone noticed, is there a Grand Prize for the first person in discovering this trick? Just curious. So, what is the Grand Prize and am I the first person to discover this trick?

I made another "Last Change" to the event schedule. I added in the time to call workers to report/check in for the first run group in the morning session. This is really important for the Run Group "C" Drivers that will work the first group. The schedule reflects the time of 7:50AM to report/check-in just before the 8:00AM Driver's Safety Meeting.
I posted the corrected Event Schedule file to the original post above.

There was a cancellation for the Test-N-Tune Event and there is one spot left. So, if you're deciding to attend, this is the time to make a decision before that spot is taken up and the last lunch serving is spoken for. Now, if you do sign up that doesn't mean that you will be last in line for the lunch serving. We just want to make sure that everyone gets served with a Region provided lunch at the Event.
Registration will close this Thursday at 8:00PM AST (Arizona Standard Time) so you better hurry up and log-on to your MSR account and click-on for the event before registration closes or someone else gets the last spot and you're waitlisted. Just so you know, there is no other option for a fun-packed event anywhere in the Land of Phoenix Arizona Solo Region (PASR) on that day.
Oh, one other thing, guest may be invited providing that you send them the Speedwaiver invitation link and they complete the waiver. They will be required to show at the Waiver Station that they completed the waiver process.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at nokones@kenmitchell.com or any PASR Board Member.

Has anyone look into P.I.R.? It is my understanding that their big parking lots are paved now.
