Laps for Tina Charity Autocross:

On Saturday June 16th 2012 the Northern Ohio Racing Association (NORA) will be holding a charity autocross race at Geauga Lake to benefit Tina DePietro as she battles malignant melanoma.

Instead of getting married this summer on a beach to fianc Eric Heller, Tina is receiving chemotherapy and battling stage 4 cancer. The charity event planned on Fathers Day weekend is very appropriate as her father Mike, and mother Linda are long time racers and helped fuel her hobby of racing sports cars.
...
Activities planned include an autocross, which is a precision driving event racing against the clock on a pylon-lined course, ride a longs giving the public a chance to see what it feels like to navigate a race course from the passenger seat of a sports car, and on site refreshments are available. Previous racing experience is not necessary to participate in the autocross, but all vehicles must pass a safety inspection, all drivers must attend a mandatory safety meeting and helmets must be worn.

Cost $40 for all drivers

Planned dual course event. Fastest time from A.M. and P.M course combined.

Lots of Prizes for top drivers as well as raffles (List to follow soon)

THIS IS STILL A POINTS EVENT AS WELL.

Potentially interested. Gotta see what the schedule for rehearsals for the show is as that's the last weekend before the show itself.

We are going , as I am helping withthe event, should have some great prizes and giveaways. We can hold the Mazdas24/7 challenge as well for this event. I mean 6 runs on a dual course set up on Father's Day, not bad. Also, the Bier Haus wil be selling food at the event. We'll have the flier up soon!
 
all of the proceeds will go to help tina, so come out and play on the dual courses
 
Signed up. FP actually has some cars in it!!! I am going to have to bring the slicks even if there old.
 
I need to sign up yet, but I should be out there since the NWOR is letting points scored at that event go toward our region because we don't have a 3rd event this year. Should be a good time. I had a blast last year I was there and look forward to getting stomped on by some SM cars.
 
Just registered, I'll be there in the Speed3. Good way to kick off my bachelor party day. :)
 
Hopefully we can get more of our folks to play? Ivan, Jake, Evan #2 and others? Where you at? We are going to bring Spicy out to play! Hopefully, that bad girl Lindsay will play with us too!

Nope. She won't. I'll try to stop out and visit, but I have rehearsals for the show on Saturday and Sunday from 2-5. Takes about an hour to get there, and I know how long these events take. Less than 2 weeks till the first show and a ton of work yet to do.

Dang...I forgot about this. I'll know by tomorrow if I can do this. I just need to figure out what class I'm in. I'm pretty sure I have to run in SM because my Nitto NT01 tires are 100 treadwear. STU has a minimum treadwear rating of 140.
 
Just go SMF with the rest of us. You're not planning on points right? So it doesn't really matter.
 
Evan #1 is correct, you would be in SM or SMF with your mods and the NT-01......

Continental is donating a set of tires
