Hey Y'all, Jim, great course! It was fun, it flowed, it demanded that you pay attention, it was fast enough, it was safe, etc., etc. I could see the course much better than usual at speed. Perhaps that was because the course was coming at me slower in the Mini than in the Mustang. Perhaps it was bec...

video from KC

Hey Matt, Loved your video from the KC event. This is a site I would like to drive on, and I think I'll try to schedule a trip to KC just to autocross on it. Reminds me of the trailer park site we had in Springfield out on west Chestnut back in about 1991 or so. Only the KC site is bigger and better...

Selling 1973 Mazda RX-3 CAR IS SOLD!

CAR IS SOLD! I am needing to part with my '73 RX-3. This car has a long and rich history with Ozark Mountain Region members. It was originally built by Chuck Leighton in the early '80's, then road raced in IT and autocrossed by Kurt Gibson. Then it was autocrossed by Masa Asanuma, Mark Rountree, and...

Hey Guys, I wish to support the autocross committee, and the autocross program in general, and think all you guys did a great job this past year. However, I will not be able to attend either the committee meeting or the awards banquet this year. I will be glad to do a couple of courses this year as ...

I'll volunteer for SSS. I will not, however, be able to autocross. My opthamologist has taken me off racing and running for a few weeks until this thing with my eye is OK. No G forces or jarring. It is---hang on to your hat---a posterior vitreous detatchment, which I guess is fairly common to those ...

Regarding designing the course next time, I appreciate the invite. Things are a bit crazy in my life at the moment because my dad's house is on the market and we are having an auction on Oct. 19th of 65 years of accumulated things, and there is much left to do. Plus I have developed an eye problem t...

You guys are forgetting Chris Rodelas in his Miata. He ran a 44.9 with a .817 PAX. That could likely beat me with a 44.7 and a .821 PAX.

You're cool. The SCCA class structure is confusing to someone taking a first look at it. SCCA's classes have evolved over a long period of time for a variety of reasons. Back in the dark ages, there were only Stock, Prepared, and Modified classes. (For info on classes before the dark ages, you'll ha...

Frank?

Bobby, is Frank the RX-7/LS1? If so, that would be entertaining to watch, and certainly to drive.

OMR autocrossers at the drag strip

Hi Y'all, Several of OMR's intrepid autocrossers invaded MoKan Dragway over between Joplin and Pittsburg last Friday for the weekly fun drags, to see what their cars would do in the quarter mile. Present were yours truly, Mark R., Opie V., Mark F., and Opie's brother Mike, who is a former OMR autocr...

Last event

Hi Guys, Wow, do I have some conflicting thoughts about our last event. First, I liked the course a lot. It had a really challenging corner, the first right hander, like you might see at nationals. The cones gave little clue as to how you actually had to drive it, not that I figured out exactly the ...

Topeks

Hey Y'all, Heat? What heat? Just kidding. Yeah, it was one of those times that being thin was an advantage. Trying not to think about it also helped. It also helped that I ran in the 1st heat and worked 2nd. I was feeling sorry for Bobby and Jim running the 3rd. Even though I didn't do too well (4th...

Miata

Chris,

Leaking injector(s)? Injectors not seating and bleeding down at stop and at idle?
