          Find a codrive Vince .How about you and Yoda take the mini ?Just a thought.Remember this is a pax based competition so obviously stock class cars and CSP cars have the best chance of making it into the top 10 .

            Is there any way to possible do a discount for themed cars? To make this an EVENT instead of just another autocross? It would be great to see some camo cars or painted fronts to match those of older aeroplanes.

            Just a thought. It would be pretty cool if we actually made it an axis vs allies event to someone spectating.

              Thanks Chuck .I am still weighing my options since I have yet to buy a set of wheels .

              Since I am now running 2 cars ...I will have to explore the possibilities that will have the most interchangeability between the 2 .Ideally I need to be able to run the same tires between the 2 cars and both have 14,15,and 16" wheel possibilities within classes that i run them in .Ill let you know when I settle on a wheel choice.

              I am presently looking for some gimme wheels for the toyota (5x100mmx6.5)...offset is negotiable with spacers....center diameter is subject to die grinder manipulation .I actually have a set of 17"x5x114mm x7.5 enkei wheels I would trade for a USEABLE set of 5x100 wheels.


              now back to the subject ....We go to MFS and do the Roddy Piper and then show on Sunday to BRC and do the same Not a tall order.

                Send Mowgli a PM, I know he had 2 sets of wheels on his GTI and they're 5x100's. I'm not sure if he's decided on getting another VW or not but It couldn't hurt.

                  This sounds like fun. Coupla questions:
                  any tips on what to use for decoration that won't harm your paint?
                  is one club axis & other allies? if so, who's what?

                  I'm hoping to make both races.

                      Neither region is Axis OR Allies. It was decided long ago that it's a North/South thing, Brother against Brother. As such, I'm not painting my car confederate grey just because I represent the south.

                      Ricky, the tires have your name on them. Literally.

                        PAX scoring, huh? I might need to hit up that event and do a 3 and done in BSP to save tires. But, we'll be on the "good" surface, right?

                          As far as I know, YES. It will be at Milton Frank. Mike C may be able to give the official word on that.

                            Mark and I went to the TAC event this past Sunday (yesterday as of this writing) and did pretty well. Mark was 6th PAX and I was 11th. There were several out of towners there, some passing through on their way to setting up for Crow Mountain, and some of the faster guys were not there. But overall we ran right in the group of the fast drivers.

                            Things are looking up for the South!! We will definitely be there for the event both days! I may even end up getting some Iron Cross stem caps for the spirit of the event!

                              There's a spray on "paint" that you can just rub off, lots of VW guys use it when they go to shows to make things look hood... Duplicolor makes it, called "Car Art, temporary paint". Washes off with soap and water.

                                I will be on old corded tires so I won't be much of a factor*
