Damn, it's a 2+ hour drive for some of us! I'll be there around 8 at the earliest! I guess it gives you wussies some time to learn the course before I show up and...

BTW, I'm bringing a laptop with auto-x software installed, temporary power source/air compressor, pop-up shade tent...what am I forgetting? Oh yeah, a spare clutch, diff, and #4 cylinder repair kit.

I'll bring coolers, radios, large push broom, waiver forms and car numbers.

If we cannot cut the car numbers today we may resort to white polish on the windshield.

Anything else?

I know I'm bringing up a dead forum, but... I do! An S2000-only autocross at Mineral Wells will be awesome.

Unlikely. The Miata guys are a more hardcore group about autocross than the S2000 guys. In fact, a Miata owner/driver is "our autocross guy." Elistan an Egothreat got tired of doing it, and Jarrett stepped up and saved this season. The venue costs require a certain number of entries, so having S2000's only is unlikely to happen. Of course I know that it's not only the Miata owners that are that hardcore (mini, etc.) but they're a great example why you can't limit the autocross to S2000's only.

In other words, I don't think the commitment to the S2000 is as it was 6+ years ago to pull this off.

LOL. Wow, what a blast from the past!

For what it's worth, we've NEVER had a literally "S2000-only" autocross - that very first one (results here http://www.s2000.org/nts2koc/autox/2...ptember.shtml) only had six participants, but one of them was a Porsche 968.

That was great to get things rolling, but I'm not sure there's much interest to do an event for only 10 or 12 drivers, especially since we still get eight runs anyway during our normal NTS2KOC events. A large part of running the events comes from non-S2000 drivers.

The next autocross of ours is this Sunday - https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=742014
