Looks like i'm going to have to sit this one out. I just blew my out my clutch at a local Autocross on Sunday.

I'm putting a new one in for the show, but i don't plan to Autocross on a brand new clutch.

Hi - sorry if this has been addressed before (its a long thread): It looks like Friday afternoon is the only time I'll be able to get to the event. I'd like to do a little AutoX and am certainly willing to man the track. Will that be ok? How late do you think you'll be there? (I believe the event doors are open until 7PM).

Thanks,Brad Bissette07 Mustang GT

That's fine. It is a long thread. we were not officially planning to autocross on Friday, just drifting. BUT, if we get enough non-driving volunteers, then we’ll probably open the course for some autocross in between the 3 featured drift sessions.

We’ll be laying out/testing/marking the autocross course Friday morning, so we’ll be ready to rock if we do get enough folks to do it. As far as how late we’re going to operate the track on Friday. I’m guessing we’ll shut it down after the 6pm drift session. But we’ll see how the staff feels.

Saturday/Sunday will be alternating between autocross and drift throughout the day. If you check out the volunteer thread it’ll lay out by hour what should be running. Sunday afternoon, after the 1pm drift session, will be mostly autocross.

Carlisle will be featuring drifting (including guest drifter Jason Ellis) at the following times.

3 times on Friday (noon, 2:30pm , and 6pm).

4 times Saturday (9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm)

3 times Sunday (930am, 11am, 1pm)

Ok, you can sign the waiver. But you're still not driving on this track til you're 18.

I don't know about E-town, but the "age thing" is a legal issue. It's not going to change. I'm sorry.

I won't be able to make it, I didn't get registered in time and I'm not forking out the money they want at the door, not to mention my car is acting weird as of late (clutch issues) and I have 2 trips to NC coming up that I need to save money for the first next weekend to move my mom and the other in July for vacation. I will do my damndest to make it to the NICOFest at the NOPI summer nationals @ Englishtown at the end of august.

I'm afraid my car won't be able to make it. I just got it running yesterday with my new turbo setup and I have too many issues to work out still. I'll probably still go to the show though on Saturday. And then I'll get mad seeing everyone drift while not being able to myself. Oh well.
