2007 Milwaukee National Tour - July 7-8

[MNbiker]

Just a reminder to make sure everyone registers early for the Milwaukee National Tour Event July 7-8. The event has a 300 driver cap, is already at 58, and will probably hit the limit before June 1st. Lets make sure we have a strong MAC contingent at this excellent event!

[porkbone]

Still less than 100 people registered, but this thing IS going to fill up. If you're going to the event, get yourself registered!

Should we start talking about hotel rooms?

[magicsammy]

Should we start talking about hotel rooms?

I will have the RV there and will be staying at Miller park.

If you don't mind dogs, $25 a night (RV gas money)

[murph]

Totally there.

This is worth it even if just for running at Milwaukee with a good crowd.

[shane86]

Guess who just registered :)
Now who wants to hold my hand through my first national level event :D

[washburn]

Alright Shane!! Welcome to the bigs. I would get hotel reservations made before registering. I'm working on getting a deal with the marriot Residence Inn, but I plan on staying on site in my parents motorhome. If I do book a roon there, it will be there for someone to use if needed.

This event will fill, is absolutely worth the trip. and we'll have a great group from the Northland!

[shane86]

Yup... right now, i'm just looking to bunk up with someone booking a hotel room.

i've got an areo bed and a sleeping bag.
Worst case scenario: digg out my old boy scouts tent, pray there aren't too many holes in it, and find a campsite/walmart

[ottocrosser]

Neal, Darryl and I are signed up for both the tour and the cone clinic on that Friday.

Neal and I have a room at the La Quinta on Bluemound Rd. They do not charge for a dog. The Residence wants $100 non refundable for Parker to stay with us. Oh well, it isn't much ****her down the road and is nice and clean.

[washburn]

FYI, I'm going to see about the dog thing when I talk to the manager at Marriot. Never hurts to ask.

[Gspot]

Do you have to be an SCCA member to register? If so, how is the easiest way to go about that.

[Ivan]

Do you have to be an SCCA member to register? If so, how is the easiest way to go about that.

Yep, you need to be a member. Go to www.scca.com (http://www.scca.com) and click "join now". It'll give you an online form and payment option. After you've been issued your member number, click on scca.com's solo link, then National Tour, click Milwaukee, and the appropriate registration and info links are on the right.

Shane,

Pointer #1 - get to the event site by noon on Friday, so you can find a paddock spot, get your car teched and take some practice runs. DO NOT try to show up Saturday morning like you would for a local event.

-Steve

[esper]

I'm planning on going too and codriving. Thinking taking the day off friday would be best to make it.

[Darryl]

The local STX crew... Good job Sunday at DCTC...

Roger that.
You can take practice runs on the course? That's pretty cool...


The local STX crew... Good job Sunday at DCTC...

Thanks guys :rockon
You had a hell of a run too sunday..

[AlexL]

Not the course, just a practice course.

[shane86]

Not the course, just a practice course.
Aww... :(

[Darryl]

Aww... :(

That's funny rookie... I'll bring the Depends...

[porkbone]

Aww... :(

Yes, it's like a test and tune so you can get used to the surface, etc.. $1 per run.... Midway-sized course.

[washburn]

That's funny rookie... I'll bring the Depends...

.........LOL!!

[esper]

huh just found out it costs $80 to join the SCCA!

Jeez. So for me the entry for this autox is going to cost more than $100 for 4 runs or so. I got to talk this over with my wife.

[SmokingTires]

6 runs over two days :)

Jeez. So for me the entry for this autox is going to cost more than $100 for 4 runs or so. I got to talk this over with my wife.'bout $160 actually, plus hotel, gas, food...... yeah. expensive weekend.

[phile]

huh just found out it costs $80 to join the SCCA!


Well, yeah. When a club pays its president hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, the money has to come from someplace.

[CDeutsch]

Spread out that cost by going to Nationals or the Milwaukee Test & Tune too. ;)

[magicsammy]

Spread out that cost by going to Nationals or the Milwaukee Test & Tune too. ;)

or competing for a series trophy with the Milwaukee region SCCA
(missed first place in CSP in Milwaukee last year by .3ths per event) :x

[SmokingTires]

Spread out that cost by going to Nationals or the Milwaukee Test & Tune too. ;)

Zak, like Chris said, the money spreads out. The membership is required. But if you are planning to go to Nationals, going to a Tour saves you money.

It's $90 to run a tour event, but if you don't run a tour before going to Nationals, you pay a $90 waiver fee. So going to a National Tour is like going to a free event :)

Yeah, except I wont be going to nationals probably ever. No way I can take that much time off to autocross when I can barely get enough time to go on a yearly vacation with my family.

I'm on the fence, I think $80 to join the scca is absolutely ridiculous as I really only wanted to attend one event. I'm going back to school in a month and money might be too tight to make such a donation to an organization which by and large doesn't affect my life at all and I don't plan on being a very active member of.

how much is the entry fee to the tour event in milwaukee? i cant see it as i need to log in to the scca site to see any event details.

$80 Dollars

[Darryl]

Phil,

People are willing to spend thousands of dollars on cars and mod’s then bitch about 80 bucks for a membership…

80 bucks, that's a lame excuse not to join the SCCA... Parts of our dues are used to preserve the sport of amateur and pro racing, and pay for good leadership, and a building and a good staff and a good magazine and great well ran events and, and, and, and...

It cost’s 80 dollars to go attend a Twins game…. It cost’s 80 dollars to do lot’s of activities…

Proud SCCA member... I see it as a great value...

For one event, I'd pass too...

[rdub]

Its the magazine that keeps me comin back DW

[magicsammy]

For one event, I'd pass too...

I recommend going to Milwaukee just to run at the venue and see how good the competition is. Whether it is SCCA or WAI, it does not matter.

But the National Tour is really for those with SCCA title aspirations (and a chance at some contingency money). If you don't care about that, then I would not spend the money.

[esper]

Well I was planning on going but have to back out now. Way too expensive for me at this point and time. I don't do nationals so I guess there is little point in donating $80 to the scca to run ~6 runs per year for their organization, I jsut wanted to see what a larger nationals style event was like, but don't want to pay the larger nationals style event prices i guess.

[MNbiker]

Zak,

I'd recommend registering for the two-day Milwaukee Region event Sept. 8-9 instead. You'll spend a lot less money, the courses will be just as good, you'll get 6 runs each day, and the level of competition will be almost as high.

-Steve

Yes, this is going to be an awesome weekend. I think a LOT of people are going to be looking it as a "Nationals warm-up" event. Including myself.

[washburn]

Any single day SCCA event in Milwaukee is pretty close to a National style event.

[Gspot]

Is it 80 for Sat and Sun? Are both days considered the same event?

[Darryl]

Is it 80 for Sat and Sun? Are both days considered the same event?

80 bucks for the weekend... Best time Saturday and Sunday combined... So it's one event... 3 runs each day...

[shane86]

Well, if Zak's out, then i guess I'm in need of a room mate or two...

I booked a Double, Non Smoking at the Waukesha-Milwaukee West Ramada
http://www.ramada.com/Ramada/control/Booking/property_info?propertyId=13606&brandInfo=RA&cid=%EAid!

Friday and sat nights booked, checkout by noon on sun.
quick run down on the math with one other person brings this to $43.48 per head per night.

We can add a 3rd occupant too if someone's interested, and bring that down a little further.

[murph]

Shane I'll shack up with ya

Well I am signed up #140!!

Well I am signed up #140!!

Great!

Looks like there may be a lot of procrastinators for this event... I'm really surprised the entry count isn't up to 200 by now.

[Gspot]

I've got a broken down beater and now hail damage on the S2000. I'm in for at least $700 to fix the two. I'm considering backing out on this (well, not signing up at all). I have a spot in the Cone Clinic though.

[SmokingTires]

Great!

I have a room arranged, but haven't signed up yet. I'll be there for sure though.

Getting practice this weekend in Waterloo 8)

[MNbiker]

...Getting practice this weekend in Waterloo 8)

Not that the surface or courses in Waterloo will be anything like the surface or courses in Milwaukee. :?

[washburn]

My parents may not make it down, but they said I could take the motor home anyway, so I may have a spot open up. Assuming Chris wants the motor home spot (he gets first choice) then a spot at the Marriot Residence Inn will open. I will confirm in a few days, but keep it in mind if your needing a hotel room.

[JKarsten]

I have to talk to Larry, but I might need a placeto stay.

[porkbone]

I'm looking to finalize my hotel plans for the Milwaukee tour in July. Does anyone still need to book a room? Or, does anyone still have an extra bed/couch?

I am planning to stay the 5th (maybe), 6th, and 7th.

thanks!

[SmokingTires]

Flat open parking lot. Sure closer than the road course we run on :)

Chris (or anyone else looking for a place to stay),

I have a room reserved at the Courtyard Marriott July 5, 6, 7. There's one bed available and space for a third person on an inflatable bed (I have one, if you don't). It's a nice hotel & good location. The room rate is $132/night - less expensive than Country Inn or the other nice places close to Miller Park.

Steve -

I'd be willing to split this room with you (I want that extra bed! :D ). Are you still keeping the July 5th reservation now that you're selling your Cone Clinic spot? The reason I ask is because I am still registered for the Cone Clinic.

thanks!

[washburn]

Pat,

-Chris

Reeeeaaallly? My Mom......trash talking? Do tell....what secrets is she keeping from me?

They will be happy to hear you guys would like them to return. It's iffy right now. Last year, I offered them the BMW to go tour around Milwaukee and see the sites while we dink around in the hot parking lot. I mean, why would they want to waste time watching us? They never left the parking lot all weekend and enjoyed themselves a great deal. In large part, I'm sure, due to you guys being friendly and welcoming to them. My Dad still talks about the surprise Birthday party all the strangers gave him. Anyway, I hope they can come...it was fun.

So I take it that I should remove you from the potential 4th at the Residence Inn then? It's OK....just want to make sure so I know we still need to fill the spot. Please let me know for sure, and I will adjust the list. Thanks!!

I'm still driving over Thursday night. That way, I can snag a good paddock spot, take a couple practice runs, etc.

-Steve

[washburn]

Steve, let's coordinate on paddock. I'm also trying to get there Thursday night and would like to stake out Minnesota territory. Maybe get a sign that says "Little Minnesota" or something. :)

the RV blowing up


Say what?

Say what?

the motor of my RV seized 70 miles east of Rapid City, SD.

I am now the proud owner of a 7 ton paperweight.

Chris DeLay and I have a room reserved at the Courtyard Marriott July 5, 6, 7. There's still space for a third person on an inflatable bed (I have one, if you don't). It's a nice hotel & good location with free breakfast. The room rate is $132/night - less expensive than Country Inn or the other nice places close to Miller Park.

Who wants the air bed spot? Your cost will be <$50/night.

-Steve

[washburn]

Not to compete, but likewise there is a spot available at the Marriot Residence Inn. About the same price, so you have choices.

[gsk8r]

Ivan and I just signed up. We aren't sure about the need for hotel yet. We are working on the possibility of a vehicle we could stay in at the track, in which case we will need you guys to include us when coning off the Mini-Minnesota area. :rockon

Being that we're not threatening the limit just yet, there will be some last second entries.

BTW, support the region that serves you best. I used to pay extra to maintain dual LOL/Milwaukee region memberships. No LOL autocrosses? No money from me.

Bah! Settle down Dave. I'm just giving Randy guff for buying a new car and not making it out to the Tour where he will be missed(and he had to Miss Nationals last year).

But with good reason! Congrats on the coming Wedding Randy!

As for a DS win, they are only hopes right now. But what's the point of trying if your not aiming for the top? ;)

[SmokingTires]

That's why...

SCCLAC is part of LOL region. I run there fairly often. So I pay my dues with them every year. That's the only reason I didn't sign up as Milwaukee also ;)

[Gemini]

See you guys next week. There's a group of 5 of us coming down this year from Winnipeg to run in FS, DS, STS2 and FP.

Cool! Swing by the "Little Minnesota" compound and share a frosty one!

[shane86]

I'm shootin for a noon arivial myself.

[washburn]

I'll be there around 8 PM tonight. Steve, since you will be there first, if we can get spots along the curb by Gantners Gardens, that would be best. (If you have a choice) I'm bringing the big rig.

[K.Beumer]

I am going to be there Friday afternoon and Dan had to bail due to work issues. I will be RV less because it ate a computer but that's another story. Please save me a spot for a van and trailer. See you there.

Keith

[SmokingTires]

What is the deal with no C6 Z06's in SS?

Megan Young, answering a phone call from a friend while sitting with the MAC crew in "Little Minnesota":

"I'm with my *new* friends. They gave me beer and a fast car. I'm never coming home!"

Your Evo Christopher?

Your Evo Christopher?

The "Zzyzx Motorsports, Yokohama, Hawk Evo" (I'm practicing for my new career as a "car owner")

[weidnerpaul]

Pat Washburn & Megan Young drove my "Zzyzx Motorsports, Yokohama, Hawk Evo" prepped car with great success, I thank my sponsors, drivers and _____ (you fill in the blank) for the successes we shared this weekend

Fixed Mr car owner...

[porkbone]

Quote of the weekend!!

Actually no, this was:

Pat: "We got a co-driver in STUL"

Mary: "As long as she's not a National Champion or anything"

Pat: "Um, yeah.... I think Megan Young is a National Champion."


OOPS!!
:lol:

[Gemini]

nice to meet you guys and talk through out the weekend. The tour was fun and I'm sure I'll be back next year. Thanks to everyone that tried to give a hand with my car. Our fix seems to have held and didn't have problems on the drive home.

I haven't gone through them all yet but here's a few pictures from day 1. Mostly heats 1 and 3.

Nice pictures.

I've got about 3,000 to go through from the last two weekends. Not sure when they'll be up.

I got Heat 1 on Saturday and Heat 3 and the parts of Heat 4 where I wasn't running on Sunday.

Congratulations to MAC for representing themselves quite well at the Milwaukee Tour. Always good to see you folks at events.

Some very stiff competition, under some very demanding conditions.

Once again, well done.
Mary, Anne, and Dale Bahr

PS, Sorry we missed the BBQ. When's Pat cookin' again?

Not so bad yourself. Way to slip in between all those Evos for a trophy and some contingency money! Looks like those Yokohamas are starting to work.

[phile]

I haven't gone through them all yet but here's a few pictures from day 1. Mostly heats 1 and 3.

You do very nice work.

Nice shot of Eric (I wish I could lift a front wheel):

Yeah, but look how much flatter your car is after the new bar. Way better than before.
