Just a quick post to remind everyone about the great events we have coming up on the schedule as well as update everyone with a few details and changes:
April 19th – This Sunday is the second Spokes autocross at San Marcos Airport! Vivek Goel will be the course designer for this event so it’s sure to be a fun course. Louie Martinez will be out all day cooking burgers and selling “combo meals” including a burger, chips, and a drink for only six bucks ($6)! He even promised to grill up a few chicken breasts for those of you skeered of beef! And in related news…the port-o-jon will be much closer to the paddock this time! I’ve updated the site layout and directions and added a “15MPH ZONE STARTS HERE!” warning. That’s right, 15mph at all times once you enter the airport property! We’re going to be very strict on this rule, please spread the word! We’re a ways off the entry cap so I’m going to open up the event to Double entries on Friday morning. Only caveat is that all D-class entrants must stay after the event and help clean up the lot. Yes, brooms, dustpans, and garbage cans will be involved! If you leave without fulfilling you’re cleanup duties you will not be able to double-enter again.

May 2nd – Spokes BBQ Run! We’ll meet up at Walter E Long park across from the Travis County Expo Center starting at 9am on Saturday May 2nd . Estimated time of departure will be 9:30am from the park and we’ll take a leisurely stroll through the hill country towards Bastrop and end up at Smitty’s Market in Lockhart, TX for the best pork ribs you’ve ever feasted on! This will not be a competitive event, leave your ego at home, etc. There are plenty of other clubs in the area that like to drive fast on public roads, Spokes is not one of them! Then after a delicious BBQ meal at Smitty’s Market we’ll either part ways or have the option to join the Capital Z of Texas club for their dyno day at Steve Hudson’s PowerCurve dyno. This last leg of the run is still in flux, more details to follow! Proposed route at the link below:
