    on Hutchinson Island

    Test and Tune scheduled for Sat. 2/16 and Autorcoss on Sunday 2/17
    Test and Tune is $20 and the event on Sunday is $25.
    You must be an SCCA member to participate in either of these events, but if you are not a member yet, you can purchase a weekend membership for $10 for Friday through Monday on either day.


    I will probably be out there both days.

    registration starts at 7:30 on both days. Drivers meeting for Test and Tune is at 9:30, for the Autocross on Sunday, the drivers meeting is at 10.
    Usually, right after the drivers meeting they start sending cars off.

    Can you post some directions, or an address so we can google them? Provided I don't get too tied up with work, I'll be there.

    Google Map

    See The Club at Savannah Harbor at the top? That's Hutchingson Island and that road to the east of the golf course has a parking lot on the North side that is used.

    Go here for more directions: Buccaneer Region SCCA

    I won't be going out and racing since I don't agree with the new rules regarding membership; however, if anyone would like me to go and take pictures for them, I'd be more than glad to.

    First of all if you don't agree with the membership issue you should write the National SOLO office. Not participating in your local SCCA region is hurting your region more than it's hurting National. The membership rule is mandated by SCCA National not by Bucanneer Region SCCA. People have already complained that mandating membership will hurt regions, especially smaller ones. You do realize the weekend membership is to extend insurance benefits to you that only regular SCCA members receive?

    the problem i have with it is that i only went to maybe three in a year (if that) anyways so the cheaper cost of being a member never outweighed the cost of membership so i was never a member. now with the requirement of membership just to run, it's far to expensive and the added cost doesn't make it worthwhile for how few times I go; therefore, i no go. if the national wants to screw over the smaller regions, that's their choice. and i could care less about the insurance benefits since by going i already have to sign a waiver which means if i get hurt, it's my responsibility and if i wreck my car i sure as hell wouldn't expect any insurance company to pay for it since it was my own reckless driving that probably caused it.

    furthermore, this isn't the place to be having this discussion (sorry for the hijack ben). next time, pm me if you feel like it.

    now, let's get this thread back on topic.

    are you planning on running at all saturday or sunday or just going to hang? i'm asking this since if if you want me to take pics of you running, i need to know when to get there but if you just want pics of your car, hutchinson wouldn't be a good place since the background kinda sucks and the lighting really wouldn't be the best for that sort of picture taking. the best lighting is right around sunrise and sunset for "glamour" type car shots unless we were in a nicely shaded area.

    Pics from Test & Tune 02/16/2008- Erin

    Here are your pics Erin; let me know which ones you'd like full size. Didn't get as many good ones as I did the others. For some reason yours came out fuzzy more often than not. Wonder if the color was affecting my auto-focus...

    Do you have another host for those who aren't myspace users?

    Started to get a migraine as soon as I clicked that link!:rofl: Holy crap dude, you need a cleaner background!

    thanks dude, i'll check them out this evening.

    yes, there are some of us who don't see a reason to have a myspace. i still see myspace as the social "in" thing to do when you're in middle school and maybe high school. but, of course, you all grew up with myspace...
