Word from one of the D.C. committee guys is either fedex or six flags. It is considered D.C. since that is the hosting region...both fedex and six flags are in MD, though.

Also, I predict a record number of spins at the "D.C" pro if at our typical fedex lot. That sealant + 40-50 degree = spin-o-rama. The test and tune day with WDCR was the last weekend of March last year...it snowed in the morning and never got above 35 degrees during the day. Food for thought.

good point, I forgot it's technically in MD. I really hope it's not fedex, that lot is my kryptonite. How's six flags, I've never been there?

I have no info on Six flags...I've never run there. Fedex is a serious home court advantage to us locals. Perhaps more so than any other lot in the country.

Agreed Mike about our advantage at Fedex, but to be honest, I have had it with Fedex. I love the people, but the lot is just so frustrating. I so hope it is somewhere else, or on a better lot at Fedex...

I am glad that we have something back here in DC- MD, but April 14 at FedEx field, is not a good idea that lot is unpredictable in cold weather or rain. Again it may be fun if we have bad weather; I will run the back-up car…
Noel- Are you really going down to Florida?

I'm driving south of Petersburg to run this weekend....

VMP is a good site. VERY high grip levels.

LOL.

Anthony, my mother in law will finally be here to spend a few months (after several years of waiting for the petition to go through and despite my wife's U.S. citizenship status). Either way, she will be here soon, and I think she may need to see FL to get out of the coldest weather of her life.. maybe just for a week.. I might have to fly them to like Orlando, and trailer my car down to meet up with them (if I can find a nice two day SCCA event or legit T&T). It would be cool to get some autocross tuning in for two days and then spend the remainder of a week there with them in Florida. Otherwise I would likely fly down with them and just chill w/o autocross for said period as a vacation.

I will be keeping an eye on the Southeast division schedules. Stuart Fain likely knows of all the best places down there. Oh, and Craig Brickner in Tampa too...

2012 PAX has been released....can't believe that the "new" BSP has a higher pax than SS and CSP. I figured we'd be lower than both. Also, STR dropped a bit and BS went up.

Also, ouch for XP...

2012 PAX Index

Pertinent PAX numbers: The classes an S2k competed in during the 2011 season...
BS 0.843
STR 0.835
BSP 0.859
FP 0.875
XP 0.898
SSM 0.879

Good post Mike. Even more reason to switch to STR
