Will this class be added to the Birmingham autocross?

I don't know that we have any plans to offer that Huntsville local class. The Kilgores will need to chime in to confirm though.

Cool that you think of it as a Huntsville thing, but really, we got the idea from East Tennessee region, where they often have 15 to 18 entries after a couple of years, and Chattanooga where it is also successful. I proposed it, as a member of the TAC Slalom committee, and we put it to a membership vote and it was approved. It's a popular thing in many SCCA regions around the country. Laid-back racing heads-up against all comers, no matter what mods, as long as the car is licensed and on street tires… seems like there's a lot of people that will appeal to.

We had 4 entries (3 showed up in the wet) at the first event, and 7 entries for tomorrow. I think it's a good start.

I think of it as a Huntsville thing cause your forum is the only place I have heard of it

How is it much different from just running in tire pax? I know it makes yet another class, but if you wanted to compare anything, as long as it's on street tires, then just run tire.

It is not a PAX class. They run heads up against themselves. Since it is a local class I assume it is excluded from overall PAX competition and also not eligible for pro or novice. Basically it sounds like the same thing we do for "club" classes.

Too many classes.

Dan, would you be less more likely to come if we did have that class?

[dan68rs]

I come either way just in cp getting a little lonley. Haha I just went to Huntsville and ran this weekend and heard about it and thought I would ask.

I already ran in that class for a couple of years. I just called it RAW results lol. Subtracted the guys on HoHo's myself and figured out my finish position vs the street tire crowd.

[dan68rs]

Well I need to learn a little more about the different classes.

[rodhx]

Dan...Heath is just talking about watching how he does in the overall raw results, not an actual class. Don't let him confuse you

[dan68rs]

Yea I get that.
