Nick and I pre-ran the timing and scoring equipment, blowing over the start and finish lights numerous times before ingenuity won out and we timed the old-fashioned way, with stop watches. We gathered up volun teers, put them on scooters between start and finish, and relayed times to the T&S trailer (aka the Turek's trailer) throughout the day. Thanks to all who hung in with us to get through the day. Thanks also to Jeff Girard and Mike and Cori Gray for organizing the event for us. The weekend after the autocross, a contingent of Chicago Region club racers headed off to Indianapolis Raceway Park (IRP). This was a new track for Nick and me. With the kind assistance of our friend Gary Kno blauch, I drove the sprint race in Gary's car, and Nick co-drove the Susan and Nick Brenkus enjoying the post River Run Rallye party enduro with Gary.

IRP is an interesting track; you don't use a lot of brakes at this track Turn one is a very high speed turn (4th or 5th gear depending on your car), turns 2-5 take you onto the back straight of the track, turns 6-11 take you through what first time around we all thought was an drive-in movie theater parking lot, hooking you up to the carousel which is turn 12, and The scooter brigade at the MGA Autocross lined up ... timing the old-fashioned way, turns 13-15 bring you out onto the with stop watches- Chris Inglot (left), Pete Hackenson, and Lee Lichtenstein. drag strip.
