NTAXS Autocross #5 Mineral Wells, TX
The North Texas Autocross Series (NTAXS), sponsored by the North Texas S2000 Owners Club (NTS2KOC), is hosting our fifth autocross of the season on Saturday, October 17, 2009 at Mineral Wells Airport. You can find a map to Mineral Wells Airport here: http://mav.pca.org/Autocross/MineralRing.htm. The entry fee is $30 per person and you must pre-register at http://www.dlbracing.com starting Friday, October 2nd. There is no on-site registration. The event is limited to 60 drivers, so sign up early. Please join us for a great day of racing and fun.
You get eight runs at NTAXS events, so you will make four runs in the AM session and four runs in the PM session. Unlike SCCA-style events where you return to grid and wait for the rest of the grid to complete their run prior to starting your next run, at NTAXS events you immediately return to the starting line after making your previous run in order to begin your next run. You are, of course, allowed to briefly pause between runs in order to tend to your car (such as checking air pressure, watering down tires, and so on), and there are usually enough people in your run group (typically eight drivers) that you will have a short wait, anyway. In order to preserve consistency, we cannot allow special concessions for those who prefer an SCCA-style routine. 8 AM – 9 AM Check-in, Registration, and mandatory Tech Inspection (You must arrive in time to have check in and pass tech inspection prior to 9 AM) 8:15 AM – 9:30 AM Course open for walking 9:15 AM Novice Meeting (mandatory if new to NTAXS events) 9:30 AM Drivers Meeting (mandatory for all) 9:45 AM First car out (45-minute lunch break between morning and afternoon heats) Car Classing is based on engine size: - Class 1/1R is for engines under 2.3 liters, except Honda S2000 and Lotus Elise/Exige. - Class 2/2R is for engines over 2.2 liters, but under 4.0 liters, plus Honda S2000. - Class 3/3R is for engines over 3.9 liters, plus Lotus Elise/Exige. - Class S2000 is only for Honda S2000 on street tires. Rotary engine multiplies displacement by 2.0. Usage of forced induction multiplies displacement by 1.5. (This is in addition to the rotary multiplier, if applicable.) Tires with a wear rating under 140 must use the R class. View the rules and additional information at http://www.s2000.org/nts2koc/autox.shtml. Yarii run in class 1!!!!!! |

Oddly, the displacement cutoff are a little screwy. You'd be over 2.2, but under 2.3 LOL! I'll ask Jerrett.

i don't think i'll have my car by this weekend anyway... dropping it off to get it painted and fitted with new spoiler later this week (assuming i get it by then) but that's good to know for future reference. damn i would like to try it though.
