Yep, after looking at the numbers it wasn't a huge jump up in classing. But don't get tooooo competitive in E... or it'll bump to D for 2009 against E36 M3's and WRX's

Kidding, mostly,

No worries there, I've got a handful with a little white "F" car thus far.

Pre-registration is closed.

18 spots remain available "first come first serve" starting at 10am Sunday.

Now we just gotta get rid of this rain,

Damn, I was just looking at the access list and realized I forgot to register. Hopefully I can get a spot Sunday morning.

Absolutely. Nobody who is in line for registration at 10am or shortly thereafter has ever been turned away.

i decided to just wait till sunday and pay the extra couple bucks instead of preregistering. i didnt want to prereg then have it rain on sunday, 1st-2nd gear in the rain dosnt work in my car, and i have never done it but im guessing i would be in 2nd gear a lot in a autocross.

Typical NASA courses at VMP are first gear at the start, then all second on the majority of the course, maybe even some third occasionally. And *maybe* back to first if it's an especially tight turnaround at the far end, or a tight finish.

Hopefully the rain will all be gone

If it's wet, you'll have a second gear spinfest. I will say that I stay in second for a majority of the VMP course, I have yet to go to 3rd, but I saw 8900 on one of the last outings. What can I say, it's addictive . But I guess then again I'm down a good deal of power from your car. I guess you got the ECU fixed?

awsome coarse lay-out. Nice weather and fun times. Scion folks had a blast as usual. Im real interested to see the results I have no idea how I stack up I just know other Scion's times
