    Hey Alex, you driving in the morning session? I really want to ride along and see how the speed ripple affects the handling of the car. :keke:

    But seriously, who's doing the morning run that doesn't mind some extra weight in the car?
     
  12. FTZ

    FTZ ^.^

    I will be running in the morning. If you want a ride, I can help.

    sweet.... im in the morning session (running BSP in yellow group)... its gonna be a fun day... autoX in the morning followed by the final formula 1 race in the afternoon :bigthumb:

    at the last event, i was the official taxi with 4 people in the car almost every run... in fact i didn't even run once alone :p... i don't see that changing next time around either

    whoever wants a ride along just look for this car

    Sure, except, I can only take 1 person until I roll the rear fenders. Maybe I will get a chance to do that next week :sx:

    I'm retardedly light for a Chef.

    Also, will I need a helmet?

    Since I don't want to run in the morning (ESP), I'm going to register as N2 since I never have auto-x'd before.
     
  19. miloman

    miloman Retired Admin

    you need a helmet to be in a car on course... they have loaner helmets but if u have your own, i would recommend u bring it along

    So is Patrick (gotsoul), and I had him sit in the middle seat in the rear. Trust me, it'll rub :)

    i wanna come and spectate. is it same cost$$ ?

    Also, whats their filming policy, if any? If any of you have a camcorder to bring, I'll be happy to shoot and produce dvds for you/upload since I don't wanna run. I have video editing gear, but no cameras. ;p

    I'm in.

    Spectating is free. All you have to do is sign the waiver.
     
  23. FTZ

    FTZ ^.^

    As for filming. It is ok, as long as you are not riding along with someone.

    coolness, I'll get to learn something. now then, anybody got a camcorder? ;p

    free to spectate and ride along

    emstraumajunke filmed from inside my car.... maybe that was allowed since it was at a BMWCCA event :dunno:

    I think they made an announcement last week saying no cameras in the car unless it is mounted. Maybe I am just hallucinating though.
     
  29. Alex

    Alex Community Founder Staff Member

    I am fairly certain it has to be mounted, check the rule book for additional information. Oh, and I am registered.

    If you read the rules, it says that cameras must be mounted:

    3.3.3 Section B, Rule #1

    I assume suction mounts are a-okay correct?
     
  32. BrianGT

    BrianGT Banned

    If the tech inspector/safety steward deems the mount to be secure and sufficient, then it should be fine.

    We had a camera suctioned to mere's car for a few events in the past without any issues, using your mount :)

    I am bringing mine, but I will be running brian's cam with my mount in car. You're more than welcome to use my digicam though for outside footage.

    Hey guys, what things do I need to know if I'm just showing up to watch, meet folks and ride along?

    Also, I'm bringing the other Sous Chef from the restaurant along with me, he owns a 06 WRB WRX.

    Brian and I will be co-driving my car so we'll see if I can improve my times at all. I'm taking any education experience I can get here :)

    Well I registered for this. I'm not 100% certain that I'll make it. But this weekend looks like it might be pretty boring so I could use this activity to spice it up a little.

    Yes they did make an announcement last time about no camcorders in car unless they were mounted.. The reason for that is b/c the guy in the white honda delsoul with the extreme body roll's buddy was filiming holding the camera out of the roof... There are some people in this world who just shouldn't be allowed outside..

    urgh, got a bad cold right now so I probably won't make it. Plus SoG still has my car and I'd feel bad auto-x'ing their loaner...

    bump...

    come one come all for free rides :)

    Hahaha. I wonder if you could get away with autoxing a rental car. Maybe get an RX-8 and take it :)

    I'm really hoping when I take my car in to get the roof sprayed all the loaners are out and they tell me to take the blue STI with the roll cage.

    Even though I'm not going to run my car (don't know if I ever will until I'm out of warrenty) I'm really excited about seeing what it's like pushing some of these cars to their limit.

    I'll bring some coffee tomorrow morning.

    Though I inteded to run in the morning thinking I wouldn't show up till the morning. My friend just called and is going to make me come in the morning. So I'll be there all day. Again, I'm in novice 2.
