Old News

Reminder: the third Practice AutoX is marked for the weekend of August 23/24!

Procedure is the usual: gates open at 9:00 AM and registration will be open until 12:00. Cost is $5 per day for members, and $10 per day for non-members. As with all TAMSCC practice events, there will be unlimited runs on two available courses with the timers set up on one. If this will be your first TAMSCC event this year, please have this form filled out before you arrive to help speed up the registration process.

If you would like to help set up the course, contact our AutoX chair Wade Zimmer: 979-777-3419, zimmer_5oh @ yahoo.com. Event entry will be free for anyone who helps set up!

Also, AutoX #2 has been rescheduled to October 5 (originally Oct. 12), so mark your calendars!

For more info and a map to the annex, check out the auto-x page.

From Mr. Ben:

"Saturday April 12th is the scheduled date for the Day Rallye.  The Rallye will depart from 
Parking Area 51(Zachry Lot) at 10:00 am.  We will return to this location later on that
afternoon following the rallye!

The Day Rally is a "mildly" lengthened rally (as compared to our typical night rallies), 
though the complete circuit through the rallye and back to Area 51consumed LESS than 
a complete tank of fuel in an LS1 Z-28 being "aggressively"driven.

Each participant should bring ~$20 for a food and "entertainment" (though, those that 
are expressly hard up might be able to prevail upon some friend, and shouldn't let this 
dissuade them from coming out to play).  Additionally, bring Frisbees, balls to toss 
around, and the like, as we will lunch in a park (like) area.  Food, in this area, may 
be acquired for ~$5 a plate... if you wish to bring your own, however, feel free to do so.

If you have no wheels, come team up with someone as a navigator, and likewise, if you 
have no wish to drive, no navigator, etc... come on out and run it with someone new!  
The more the merrier!  Navigators and passengers, please offer to share the cost 
of any fuel with your drivers."

For more info, see the rallye page

Cost is $13 to race, $7 to watch.
For more info, check out the drag racing page...

We will most likely vote on this at the next meeting...

This is the officer nomination meeting!  So if you want to become an officer for next school year, you NEED to come to this meeting.  Voting for officers will take place during meeting # 5.

So come on out, nominate some peeps (or yourself), hear about the autocross and the rallye, and have a good ol' time.

Chicken Express, however, rocks your socks off!

The usual autocross specifics apply, gate opens at 9am, cost is $10 for members, $15 for non-members.  If you haven't filled out an insurance form this school year, download it off the web, fill it out, and bring it to the registration table outside the Annex gate Sunday morning.

For more info and a map to the annex, check out the auto-x page.

If you'd like to try calling them to get an answer, the number is 936-825-8725.  If you find out anything new, please post it to the e-mail list.

Wednesday, March 5th, we will be having Aggie Night down at Navasota Raceway.  Come on down for some 1/8 mile drag racing fun.

Cost is $13 to race, $7 to watch.

Stay tuned to the TAMSCC e-mail list for news about rain-outs.

Come hear about the last rallye, who smacked whom at Costas-Cross (tm), and upcoming events for the TAMSCC.

In case you have no clue what I'm talking about, Autocross # 2 (Sunday, February 23rd) will be designed by our own Paul Costas.  Past Costas-Crosses have been some of the longest and most challenging (and fun) autocross courses.

All normal stuff applies like a regular autocross.  Gate opens at 9am, registration ends at 10am.  For more info, a map to the annex, and a link to the insurance form you must fill out (if you haven't already filled one out), check out the autocross page.

This one is promised to be ALL new and lots of fun.

We will meet at Zachry Lot (PA 51) at 6:30pm.  Find a navigator or driver soon or come to Zachry lot early and pair up with someone new!

Rallye Results

Autocross results and Night Rallye results will be given, and hopefully some stories to go along with them.

The meeting is at 7pm in MSC 292 (on the connecting bridge between the MSC and Rudder Tower, next to the Print 'n Copy).

We had a great event Sunday with a good turnout and a good course.  
The next Auto-X is on February 23rd.  Come back and have some more tire shredding fun!

Auto-x Results

What is a rallye?  Check out our Rallye Page for more information.

Cost is $13 to race, $7 to watch.

Saturday, we will be having OD 102 followed by a free day of autocrossing.  
Yes, that's right, FREE!  Come early and get a good seat, then stick around for some tire shredding fun.  Gate opens at 9.

Sunday, we will have our first autocross of the semester.  For more information of what an autocross is, check out our autocross page. 

Gates open at 9am for registration.  Don't forget, if you haven't filled out an insurance waiver for the Fall 2002/Spring 2003 Semester, download it off the web and fill it out before you come out

So what's a TAMSCC Scavenger Hunt?  Teams of 3 or 4 people are given a list of items to find around town that are worth a certain amount of points each.  Find as many items as you can in the allotted time, and the team with the most points win.  Items can range from Papa John's garlic sauce to Mustang pistons.

If you are interested in showing your car in either of the car shows, or future car shows, 
e-mail Keith Lempa, our resident PR person.

Both nights, we will be having informational meetings in Rudder 301.  Come out and see what the club has planned for the spring semester.

We will be meeting at Sonic on Texas and 2818 (next to College Station Wal-Mart) at 2pm on Sunday and caravanning down there.  It takes about 2 hours to get there and they will open the gates at 4pm.  The lanes open at 5pm and they shut down at 10pm.  

Cost is $15 to race.  I am unsure of the cost just to watch.

If you don't want to caravan with us (fine, be that way!), here are the directions from HRP's website: directions

Spring Schedule

If you would like to attend, please e-mail David Feinstein, our resident Social Chair by Dec 1st.
Cost is $15 and David will give you more info (food choices, directions) when you e-mail him.

 If you were at the last autocross, you probably noticed the large RV with the computers set up next to it.  They were taking pictures of the participants cars and selling prints of them.  $2 of every sale is donated to the club.  The prints are awesome, as those of you who saw them on Sunday know.

So if you're out at the next autocross and see them there, go get a sweet pic of your ride in action and support them and the club!

From 8am - 4pm we will be out at Rudder Fountain having our car show, so come out and hang with the TAMSCC peeps.  Class?  You don't need no stinkin' class...

At 7pm, we will have our last meeting of the semester.  The meeting will be in Koldus 111.
Auto-X Results and Rallye Results will be given out.

Thanks to those who came out and had a lot of fun on our last rallye of the semester.
Everyone had a great time, and once again, the Novices 0wn3d the Experts.

Auto-X 1 Results!

Thanks to everyone who helped make this event run smoothly!

Auto-X Results

Sunday, September 15th, we will be having the first autocross of the semester.  The gate will be open at 8am, and racing will start around 10am.  Cost for Sunday is $10 for members, $15 for non-members.

**IMPORTANT**
Most of you have filled out the insurance waiver, however, every new school year requires you to fill out a new one.  So even if you've filled one out at the last practice auto-x, you need to fill out a new one for the new school year. And if you've never filled one out before, download them here:
Page1 (HTML)
Page2 (HTML)
PDF File (Both Pages)
  You can print them out, fill them out, then bring them with you to registration.  We will have blank copies at the registration table if you need them.

Both meetings will contain the same information, so you only need to attend one.  However, you may attend two if you find you just can't get enough of us.  We will most likely be heading out to a group dinner afterwards (probably Sonic) to show off our rides and socialize (it's true!).

Also on Sept. 10th & 11th we will be having car shows during the day from 8am to 4pm.  We'll be out at Rudder Fountain, so come out and get your tan on (sunburn).

If you're a newbie and have some questions, come on out and meet us.  If you're a current member, come on out and meet the newbies.

If you've never been drag racing with us before, please check out the drag racing page. There is an important notice about the track rules on engine coolant.

We will meet at Sonic Drive-In on Texas and 2818 at 6:30pm (next to College Station Wal-Mart), get our grub on, then caravan down.  Gates open at 7pm and racing will start shortly after that.

You must fill these out completely or you will not be allowed to participate.  If you feel you don't agree with this, feel free to speak with one of our officers at the event or through e-mail.
