AutoxChris, Mark Foley & Gregg McNabb are all there in springtown.
PM one of them.
I am flying thru from Marshfield.
Leaving here around 7AM to make sure I find the site in time.
If I weren't getting lost regularly, I would say meet me along I44 but I not be responsible for messing up both our days.

I'll be there by 8:00 to do tech. Opie mentioned he would help with Tech also. I really think that all 3 of us (Korry, Opie, and me) would be needed if there are 60 to 80 entrants.

I have been busy with tires too today. I was setting up my R compounds and then looked at the weather and realized there was a good chance for rain. So I also had to setup my street tires. And now it looks like it will rain tonight but clear off in the morning. So I'm just bringing both sets and will figure it out when I get there.
WOW, I had a great time. As many of you know this was my very first autoX event ever. And I throughly enjoyed it. I now know what my car and I are in for in the future. I appreciate and enjoyed all the ride alongs that I got to do with a few of the other drivers and would like to maybe have some of them drive my car to reassure me that it is my skill which is lacking and not the car.
I've got a little work to do on my alignment and figuring something out to keep the rear end planted. I did my 2 fun runs and bested my time both times. I noticed that my last run was the smoothest all day and that I was able to control the car a little better and shaved off almost a second.
I know that seat time is my best friend for this season. And I'll be hoping to ride with many of you at each event so that you can show me the way. And hopefully get a few of you to ride with me and critique what I'm doing. During my fun runs I was able to finally find some better lines and that also came from riding with a few of you. As a passenger I feel I have more time to look at the track and feel it than when I'm actually driving.
Again thanks for everything from everyone. And I'll see you next month.

Got to say thanks to everyone for being so friendly. This, too, was my first out for AutoX and I have to say it is addictive. Got a couple of things to do to my car before next month (which I am going to try my best to make it up to springfield for).
Can't wait to see someone post some pictures of the event!

Nah, Just a Nerd!
Just a little post event report here - this was a GREAT event! Faced with ~35% MORE participants than expected (70 to 94!!!!!), this group coordinated the adjustments with smiles & accommodating attitudes. It could have been terribly ugly but y'all managed the "dilemma" in an amazing manner.
It was a FUN FUN FUN course - whoever designed it...hope you're involved with the Divisional event (hint..hint) - "Sparky" was thrilled to be able stretch his legs again after a LONG winter! I had enough adrenalin pumping at the end of my runs to whoop & holler a bit --- quite out of character for me!!!!
The OMR Divisional is going to be great! The other regions in the MiDiv need to know that not only will they be delighted with the site, but the hospitality & attitudes they'll be shown will put the icing on the weekend cake.
THANK YOU - JIM, MATT & CURTIS and EVERYONE who worked to make this inaugural event a tremendous success! KUDOS to OMR! You guys are awesome. Am thrilled that you'll be hosting one of the Divisional events!
Thanks again for a great day!

Course was the work of Jim Rowland and I agree first rate.
While a lot of people helped with the event, Matt Gilson, Matt Longpine, and Jim Rowland, not only were the last to leave Crowder Sunday, but were there getting things in order the Saturday afternoon and evening before. as well.
