  • When it rains for 5/24 event (tomorrow)

    To keep the course marked, it will be necessary to use some kind of grease pens or construction crayons like they use in Huntsville autocrosses to keep pavement marked for cone placement thru the event. Sheet rock is useless in the rain. Any recommendations or can someone pick up some to mark the course? Thanks

    Just planning ahead

    A couple of years ago (it's been that long since we have had a rainy autocross) you doubled the key cones. If the course is simple enough that will work.

      I'm curious. What happens if both cones are hit? Not that anyone would get that far out of shape going through a feature in the rain.

        I guess that you would put them back to the best of you ability.

          I remember that now. It is not as good as marking course, but best I could come up with with what was there. Mike, where did you get the markers and what kind were they?

            Well, marks from these would be hard to see - http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...501&lpage=none

            This other place even sells 'em in hot pink! Too bad they aren't local. - http://www.cspoutdoors.com/dixlumcray.html

              They are construction crayons. You can get boxes at Home Depot or Lowes. Isn't there one of them near Hooters?

                It's a Lowes, and should be open at 6. Is BRC ok with the more permanent markings?

                Why do I keep racing these weird cars?
                Why can't I just get a miata and be happy?

                  If you can't make marks or double cone, make every gate a uniform width - say 8 paces wide.

                      What if it's a uniform from Hooters

                        I think it was an EVO that dominated the day

                        Great course Clay, simple but fun. Kudos to the workers that were out there at 6:30AM making it happen. Also thanks to Pop for helping get the timing lights working again, it's members like you that make the club what it is.

                          Amen to Darrlys comment. Simple is good and fun! The course was great and the weather turned out pretty darn great. Thanks to all.

                            I had fun even though I am unsure if I will continue racing after what happened today.
