OK. The field is light enought to offer the $10 Discount on Second Slot for Saturday September 10th at Hylton HS
To help increase interested in the September 10th event at Hylton HS in Woodbirdge, VA, we are offering the following special.
For anyone paying for a second slot, the second slot will be $10 off. So if you are a member the second slot for a member will only be $20. If the second slot is for a non-member the cost will be $30 (rather than $40).
The second slot can also be used the same driver (e.g. they would drive in two heats) or for a guest.
To sign up for a second slot:
1. Make a second reservation (for you or the guest)
2. Type "Second Slot" in the Notes Section (if it is for a guest, state your name - e.g. second slot guest of John Doe). You must type "Second Slot." Otherwise, we may think you mistakenly submitted duplicate reservations.
-Several people used the second slot for a guest (some that never autocrossed with CDC)
-Many participants used the second slot to get 12 runs
-Some used the second slot to be a point autocross in the 6 morning runs (since only the first 6 counted for points) then treated the afternoon as a TNT by trading cars with other two slot participants
This offer is only extended for this event at Hylton HS on Saturday September 10th, 2011.

Mercedes results are up:
http://www.gws-mbca.org/ax/ax-11/ax11-6.html
Not the best course today but we did get 7 runs and were finished packing up cones and on the road heading home by 1PM.
OEM wheels and tires on the Miata suck beyond belief, no grip anywhere.

My only gripes were the immediate start and finish....the 350 was just too big to get through those sections. Other than that it, it was fine. Maybe a step or two extra through the slaloms as well. Four of my seven runs would have beaten Howard.....dagger.
Once the car cooled a bit...I didn't seem to have the issue with second. It was having none of it the last 2-3 runs. Oh well. I was home by 1:30....that was a plus.
Nice to meet you, Pete.

SATurday September 24th Autocross
Harry Grove Stadium, Frederick, MD is the location of the CDC #3 autocross on SATURDAY September 24th. We will also have a Test and Tune SUNDAY September 25th.
Registration and tech inspection will be at 8:00 and will promptly close at 8:45 to try to accommodate the full field, while still giving 6 runs. You must be DONE by 8:45. So if you arrive at 8:00 you won't have a problem. Don't arrive at the last minute.
The event fee for the Saturday autocross is now $30 for members and $40 for non-members at this event.
New Bar Codes
Make sure you download the new bar codes for 2011 (some of the early barcodes in early 2010 won't work. So if you want to use last year's barcodes, make sure it is the same format as the new barcodes).
We have a new index for lightweight cars (under 1500 pounds) and the bar codes are now different for small bore cars from the early barcodes. The early bar codes from 2010 just won't work. If you have a car weighing under 1500 pounds, we are in the process of updating it (we can also print it out at the event in this case).
So to be on the safe side, print out new barcodes that can be found on the web forum under autocross section. You have to register on the forum to open the attachments.
If you have problems, you can e-mail me at capitaldriving@yahoo.com or we can also print barcodes for you at the event.
SUNday September 25th Test and Tune Day
These Sunday Test and Tune Events will be held the day after the Saturday Harry Grove Stadium Autocrosses in Frederick , MD. The Test and Tune event will be an informal autocross using the same/similar course as the day before. The differences are the following:
Field is limited to 40 participants with about 5 organizers (for a total of 45 vehicles).
Times will be announced and recorded on the timesheet, but no results, no points, and no indexes will be posted –This is only for fun
No extra runs if we miss a time – This is only for fun
The format will be 2 heats with 5 morning and afternoon runs (number of runs in the afternoon will depend on time and weather conditions. We hope to give 9 to 11 runs).
No food or drinks will be provided – We need to keep the amount of equipment to a minimum. So plan on either bringing drinks and food or going out to lunch.
Event is open to members and their guests only, since the event is so limited in size.
The entry fee is $35 per member, $45 for non-members.
All 40 slots will be given on a first come, first serve basis.
On-line Reservation System
Member reservations (or participants that will join the club upon showing up) for any events can be made at any time. Open reservations for non-members for this event begin Friday September 16th.
New Members
We will be accepting new members at this event. If you plan to join the club at this event, you may make a reservation at this time by doing the following:
1. Use "0" as the member number (a permanent number will be assigned to you after you join and you will get a temporary number for this event)
2. TYPE "I will be joining the club at this event" in the NOTES section when making you reservation.
The annual membership is $30 and is good for 12 months from the date you join.
