Damn, better tell the wife that she needs to finish the break-in period on the new Mini asap. I need to start looking for some wheels and r-comps.
As Benson says, Carver is the hardest working man in Louisiana motorsports.
Let me know if ya need help, even though you probably don't need it.

I've got new A6s on my front porch just ready to be mounted.
I will be there to kick your sorry ass.

Hell, do you know how far away that is? Who knows what I will have at that time.

I will gladly transport you from any airport to the dealership. Just so I can watch you smoking them down in second before it is off the showroom floor.
Roll out that pig Mongo style.

How predictable of you Ken, I would have never in a million years thought you would have picked something like that..
I agree with Kerry.
Please stay on topic and reframe from using profanity in my threads.
Thanks
Carver

Ken picks his butt.
Oh, wait. No profanity. Ken picks his glutimus maximus.
Ken, you should have seen that GT3 that was at the NPR. I think that the Rhino is having wet dreams about that car.

It's fantastic that you guys stepped up to host a divisional. Turbo Todd must have offered oral favors for everyone.
Will my camaro fit through a course at EVOC?

This course will be so that you can fit through most gates sideways if need be.
Hope to see you there.
Carver
You've seen me drive, haven't you? I'll definitely need to fit through sideways, and runoff area, lots and lots of runoff area.

Ok, so you have witness the "flaming" Camaro and the interpreted driving style.
Allen,
My heart skipped a beat when I saw that picture!! That was the car you were running when I first started autocross. I just remember how loud and fast it was!!
How's life?

If it is like a tour you get to dodge several of these beast as we will be letting them out in hopes that they catch each other. There is no cone management during CP runs. A downed cone stays down.

Is he good at that?
Do you know?
I am in. I may even just come help and not drive anything. Or I may whore around with puppy dog eyes waiting for an offer.
Another CP car! Woohoo!!
Looks like I'll be adding ballast to my car again to be legal. Oh, and putting my spoiler back on.

1st time I ever saw the CP Camaro was my 1st event with Delta.
I could not even tell my car was running when Allen pulled up next to me in grid. little 1.7L stock motor skinny tires no flares full interior.
My how times change.

Life's good Darren. There is a lot of opportunity here in Houston. I'm glad to see you're racing again. I haven't autocrossed in almost 2 years. I'm just not motivated to make the time I guess. I'm trying to change that so I can make some events. The kids and the business occupy too much of my time to do much but I'd like to at least make 4 or 5 events a year. I really should look into some track days since MSR is only 20 minutes from my house.
BTW Doug, I don't have first hand knowledge of Todd's "expertise", but his co-driver is always so happy he must at least know to mind his teeth

I had to leave the fun for a few years myself as the family took priority. I am glad to be back but miss allot of the old gang. When I started it was George, Jose, Hassan, you, Mason, Chip, Christi, etc, etc. About the only one left is Benson and he doesn't have .0000001% of the personality of the above mentioned group.
We do have Matt and Joe now though

Silly Ken, you should know by now that Porsche's and BMW's don't impress me..And I do enjoy the finer things in life and those are not on my list.

"Turbo" may have meanings we haven't explored yet...or perhaps the distinction "between turbocharged" and "blown" will aquire further delineation....
In any case it would be great to see you and Todd, or even....Ken...over here for a Divisional.
No, we don't want Todd over here. He's in CP and is too good. He needs to stay away! 
What kind of surface does EVOC have?Concrete or asphalt?Is it tire friendly or will 2 days of autocrossing destroy a set of Hoosiers?
new asphalt.

I wonder if I can get the Celica ready by then. You are welcome to codrive if you like. I wasn't planning on having it ready, especially buying tires that early, but maybe it will come together.
Mongo may have some to use for a weekend?

2 days of racing will make your tires look like new.. VERY easy on tires

Very nice of you to offer!
Thanks.
Don't ice someone else out keeping a seat for me. I am unreliable at this point. I will definitely be there but I can't say for sure that I will be driving.
Either way I will be psyched to see what you end up with.
Is camping allowed at the EVOC?
There is no camping, but you can stay in your RV if you have one.
Thanks, an RV is really what I had in mind.
I have a 1994 Miata RV. Three bedrooms, walk-in freezer, pole for the dancers and a small gymnasium. Cue the TARDIS noises.

Need some dancers?
Okay, I still don't really get what the SW Divisional is going to be other than a wide open event with tons of participants autoXing for 2 days with some trophies on the line?
How much will it cost, etc?
Also, (not to thread crap) do TLACs cost more to participate in than regular AutoXs?

The Southwest Division of the Sports Car Club of America (known as "Area 7") is made up of 10 separate SCCA regions in the Southwestern part of the U.S. Our purpose is to provide an information source for members of all the regions contained herein, with special attention being paid to the volunteer Club Racing Officials, whom we could not conduct Club Racing events without.
Racers from all over the state of Texas and Louisiana come together for Club Racing events and many regional autocrossers cross-pollinate to other regions outside there own. We hope to foster this behavior and increase the opportunities to members and regions of this division.
Solo II Divisional Events in the Southwest Division typically happen in the summer months and are each organized by a "host region". Any region in the Southwest Division can host a Solo II Divisional and all Solo II competitors from all of the 10 regions that make up the division are invited. To win a Divisional event is to be the best autocrosser in the 10 regions.
What's so special about Divisionals?
* You compete against other autocrossers from around the entire Southwest Division
* You can guage your skill level against folks you don't normally get to run against
* They can help you prepare for National-caliper events
* They are two-day events with a big party (usually) on the Saturday night of the Saturday-Sunday events
* Compete for Divisional trophies
* Compete for special year-end Divisional Championship awards and trophies.
* You get to meet new people
* Have a great time
To add to what Kerry said (quite well, I might add!), a Divisional or Tour is a "competitive event" whereas a Regional event is simply a "social event."
What I mean is that, at a Regional event, everyone is friends and you've already got a pretty good idea of where you stack up as a driver. Therefore, the event is less about absolute competition (who buys a new set of tires for every Regional event?) and more about seeing friends and having fun driving your car fast.
At a Divisional or Tour, everybody is on their "A" game. Yeah, there's still some kidding around, but people are busy ensuring that every last nut and bolt is tight, adjustment is perfect and doing their little pre-race rituals. Everyone is competitive and trying to get that list little bit out of their car and themselves.
Of course, it's still all fun. The party is a blast. When people's classes aren't running, it's goofing as usual. They're a blast!
