Mississippi Region Autocross Points Events
August 16 and 17
Grenada Municipal Airport, Grenada, MS

Join us once again for an evening of food and drinks at Jake and Rip's. We will also be having an autocross on Saturday and Sunday. Use this thread to discuss your autocross prowess, arrange travel plans, and place wagers on the over/under for number of drinks that Trey can consume before he vomits in the Jake and Rip's bathroom (again).

Mississippi Region #83 SS / #97 STU

8

I'll be there provided I find someone with tools to help me out with changing my transmission, diff, and brake fluid... and my pads... and I get an alignment. Seriously though, if someone's in the starkville area and would let me borrow a few tools and give me a hand, I gots da monies to pay for the services. If I make it out, I'll be a dd from jake and rip's if needed.

the best part about jake and rips is the blurry drunk drive across highway 8 to the hotel

 

Where are you located? Jackson?  If so I am pretty handy with a wrench.  Pulled my trans a few weeks ago.

It's a heck of a lot more fun to walk across 8...

Still haven't decided about making it to Grenada yet, guess it'll depend on getting the formula car back together...

Good deal. I don't get back from baton rouge for another 12 days, so it'll be a while. Yes, cash and beer will definitely be given for any help. I just don't feel like paying some sleezy mechanic 85 bucks an hour when I could pay some friends to help me and learn to do it myself at the same time.

"learn how to do it myself".

Besides learning how to do your own maintenance, you'll soon learn another lesson -------.

there's lot's of friendly folks in MSSCCA who will happily loan you tools, show you how to do the repairs, drink your beer, take your money ----- hopefully you'll realize that the beer/money part comes near the completion of the project -------.

I got plenty of tools if you need any.  I have not aligned an STI before, but it prob wont be to bad. 

S2000 alignments are horrible.  There are two eccentric bolts in the rear for the camber and toe.  To adjust camber you turn the front eccentric.  To adjust the toe you have to rotate the front and rear eccentric in opposite directions at the same time.  If they are not done at the same time it throws out the camber and you have to start all over.

I plan on coming the event, however i will be on call and may need to abruptly leave and travel to back to columbus at a very fast speed.  That will be the first of the two weeks the doctors gave us for possible delivery.

I guess ill go.  I need to order two new rear tires.  If anybody wants my rear "slicks" you are more than welcome to have them   They are extra fun in the rain.  I will be sure to bring a sh!t load of water too.  Oh and does anyone wanna split a room cause i dont feel like driving back and forth again.

if you sleep on the floor I don't think you should chip in too much money.

Ben, are you coming?

Well not sure, Crystal ball is a little cloudy today.  Gene are you going?

of coarse autocross is my crack and I am needing a fix.

I hear ya, always good to get some practice.  We will see about the money situation coming up, just dropped $300 on dog.  It is still 3 weeks away.  Maybe a swapped run or two would entice me a little more.

yeah, sure.  I'll get a good comparison of the RE01-R and the Dunlops

yeah I hear ya ben, money is getting tight with school about to start back.  The gas looks like it might be going down just a little bit.  What did you buy for the dog?
