Michigan AutoX July 2nd/3rd

Just West of Grand Rapids, this is probably the biggest event of the year for our area. We plan on using the same course as last year, which was described as "90 seconds of freeway on-ramps". A very fast and fun course.

If anybody is coming from out of town to this event, and needs a place to stay, I should have plenty of room so just let me know.

Well, we've got a few days before the race, so we're hoping it will melt by then.

Here's the video from last year. As far as I know, we will be running the same course.

I'm picking up my tow dolly tonight from the rental place. I need to install my brake rotor/bearings/races/whole assembly. Hopefully I'll be there for registration.

Do you have a clutch alignment tool?

So the girlfriend called and was like "can we hang out tonight". So I'm not going to be able to re-assemble my front suspension until tomorrow morning. Where on GVSU's campus is the auto cross?

Not sure of the designation, but it is just West of the clocktower if I remember correctly. If entering from the north using the main entrance off 45, then go straight in and watch the right hand side for the cones.

Well, Saturday I kinda got spanked. There was an ITB prepped CRX on Hoosiers that got me by 1.6 seconds. lol.

Sunday I took the win in CSP, with Rotor-Motor right behind me racing his Respeed suspension for the first time.

Lots of fun, great course, and excellent (if a bit hot) weather.
