Marshalltown Autox
A few of us have discussed making a trip to one of NQS Performance's autox events down in Marshalltown, Iowa this summer.
http://nqsperformance.com/AutocrossSeries2010.aspx
The dates are:
May 22
June 12
July 10
August 21
The general consensus has been that July would be the best month, but we can discuss and make a final decision here if there's enough interest. Myself, Asshanson, and Swifty have run there and had a blast.
You'll get 2 sets of points runs as well as a set of fun runs, which if I remember correctly will come to 6 runs; each being ~2.8 laps.
So, who's in?

Re: Marshalltown Autox
I can make any of those dates except July 10th. I'm definitely in for this, it's a blast!
Maybe spaz can beat my time this year  Or better yet, see if I can beat my DSM time in the V! |

Re: Marshalltown Autox
Do you guys just make this a full day thing or an overnight type event? If it's only a day event I might be able to swing the July 10 date, but the August day would work better for me.

Re: Marshalltown Autox
August 21st looks like a possible date for me because I'll be going to Thailand throughout June and July.

Re: Marshalltown Autox
I would probably drive down Friday night and come back Saturday afternoon. I know I don't want to leave here at 5am Saturday morning.

Re: Marshalltown Autox
I would like to be a part of this auto x.
I have to get the eclipse legal like a battery box in the back but it should be a blast.
Either that or I would have to take a lap with the scummit.

Re: Marshalltown Autox
June 12 and August 21 work for me, but there are MAC autocrosses those Sundays though I have no problem missing them.
Would we be going down and coming back in the same day, or spend the night and party it up?

Re: Marshalltown Autox
I'd say go the night before, be somewhat rested, and not wore out from the 4 hour drive starting at 4am (guessing check-in would start around 8am)

Re: Marshalltown Autox
We'd be better off staying overnight somewhere, when I was down there last year I stayed with a buddy on Friday night and we got a hotel in Waterloo on Saturday night.

I'm just telling you what we did last time, and that definitely was not my choice. Ames would probably be the best place to stay for us.

Hell yes, Ames rocks. Not as much in the summer though.

Re: Marshalltown Autox
Yep, everything but the small section at the top that is blacked out. It gets a bit scary coming down the first stretch going 90, then making that wide left going pretty fast still, only to be followed up by another long straight.

Re: Marshalltown Autox
Anyone with a modded DSM should be hitting 3rd on the back straight, no problem. I averaged around 58mph around the track on my fastest lap in the Talon.

Re: Marshalltown Autox
My intake alone pushes me into non-V8 Modified, thanks to having a stock turbo. Oh well.
Matt D, your only competition in that class, if he shows up, is Jeremy(Prez)'s Evo. I'm not sure what all he's got done to it, but he put down FTD last time I was there.

Re: Marshalltown Autox
I guess I'm in V8 race? Sucks to be me since I'm on street tires, but I'll still have fun.
