Found a closed runway we can use at the dalles, minimal cost, but we would have to bring our own cones.
Anyone?

Site owner will want you to provide insurance for HIS liability. You can time it old school with a stopwatch...

Actually the site owner is the State of Washington, and all we need is insurance on our vehicle.

There will be a release of liability for those involved.

Thinking Sunday AM about 10:30 - 2:30ish. It seems to fit in the schedule best. I'm just waiting to hear.

I want to conduct that like any other A/X event, with helmets - if it happens.

So far no cones

I will also need some help getting this set up. If it goes.

Cones are about $2.50 each in low quantity. I once put on an autocross in a small lot with only 21 cones. Two parallel sloloms with a cone at the far end they had to go around. Everyone had a great time.

Why do I suddenly see 914Rubber producing autocross cones?

Check with Brittain. We need timing equipment also.

Let me know if the site location looks like a go. I'd be willing to buy the cones to make it happen.

I might also be able to build an Arduino based timer using garage door safety triggers.

I'm with Nate on absolutely under no circumstances allowing Greenie any access to the timing equipment! That would be bad....

Is this going to happen? Should I pack my helmet? Do you need anything that a newbie might be able to help with?

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 11 2013, 11:45 PM

Still trying to get the final approval, and I have to get a port a potty as part of the deal. I'll know more tomorrow.

Posted by: McMark Jun 13 2013, 08:43 AM
