It is the same place. Might be earlier this year as the last few years have got snowed out. Were you planning on going to it? Its basically a Idaho vs Utah challange on the yearly. Theres a traveling trophy involved and all that happy horseshit. Its usually a pretty good time.

i think i'm going to be there.
i'll be one event short of finishing with points, so i kind of have to if i want to see how i do point wise.
maybe we could get together after if i do go.

Its normally a 3 day event. Friday is usually a test and tune from 12/2 to whenever people run out of tire or are offically "tuned", lol. Saturday and Sunday are regular autox's. EISCC usually runs 6-8 runs a day, then reverses Saturdays course for Sunday, generally with slight changes.

If you go would you plan on staying for the whole event or just one day? Either way, a bunch of us either camp (weather dependant of course) or all get rooms. Drinking to follow, lol. Reguardless of how long you stay, I say we get Bill to come up to either race or just hang and we got get some snaps of the wagons and shoot the shit for a few.

so when is the next one that is coming up in the boise area. i would like to plan for that with my wife and kids?

Hai, next local race is this weekend 5-30/31 at the Idaho Center. There is a driving school on saturday, and a regular autox on sunday. The driving school does 3-4 osticles (decreasing radius, salom, start/stop box, and a skidpad) with everyone broke into 3-4 groups spedning time on each obsticle in teh morning. After lunch, they combine the earlier obsticles and do funruns the rest of the afternoon. Its a great day to go out and get seattime/tune...and I think I heard something about it being free to first timers. I wont be out this time as we are going camping, but Ill be at the event after that.

i might do 1 day or 2.
i'd prob. do both days if we camped and kept costs down.
and i'd love to hang out/take pics of the wagons (no drinking for me).

hahaha

shenrie

^^^Lush's, lol.

We are allowed to camp right next to the event, so providing the weather is good, thats an easy one. Wake up, full throttle.

Hotel row is a ways away, about 10 minutes. Either way, the event is a good one to hit. The airport has expanded the area we are allowed to play on, so that makes for a good 3rd gear course. I was able to spike a 1.6 lateral g (iphone app) on one of the sweepers after the straight last year. Plus thier events are very laid back.

The event is Sept. 25, 26, & 27th. We should defiantly plan something. Thats a nice easy drive for all of us. 3 hours for me, 45 min for Bill, and what 2-3 hours from the SLC area? Sept camping might be iffy, in fact, Id guess its not an option from years past at this event, lol. Could definalty go in on a room if it worked out for everyone too. Keep in mind that Lava Hot Springs is within an hour of Poky too. That place is kickass.

^ what shenrie said.

this sounds like fun. maybe the wife will let me go.

tilt your head a little to the side...
raise one eyebrow and both ears...
lift one paw...
wiggle your tail...
and make a funny whine...
and you'll be ok...

Hell ya! Start workin her now

Not that Utah needs any help on the challange. You guys have some great drivers in your area...and I always end up running against the fastest guys in my class and usually get stomped. I believe it was a silver Evo with all the rear interior stripped last year that had two drivers. Not sure what the stats are, but I think weve each held that trophy about the same amount of time.

There was even talk of getting Montana involved in the challange, but they had a bigger race last year in thier area that kept thier attendance down, so nobody really showed from thier region.

well, i hope to be one of those drivers that takes you...
but i prob. won't be.

was the driver of the evo asian?
i might know the kid.
it's a super sick evo.

shenrie

I have no idea if he or his codriver were Asian. Its been to long, sorry. I do remember that it supposidly had just shy of 500hp on the gound though. All I really remember is that all the rear seat was gone and it had dark colored wheels. I know thats not much help at an autox as half the cars anymore are Evos.

And hell ya never know. Ive lost my fair share of races. Dont sell yourself short
