February Bump. Who wants to join us? Just a month and a half left till the season starts :D

[cojsl]

If you've not tried it, team autocross is an fun informal way to add an extra bit of competition at events.

n00b alumni have gone on the become head dogcatchers, interstellar botanists, and presidents of budgie clubs, you should joint too!*







*not really

[fast_eddie_72]

Come on folks! I don't want to see team n00b die! Sign up and have fun! There have to be some people from last season who didn't complete enough events to lose their novice status. Sign up man!

No too mention TOP DOG at a recent event. Way to go Jamie :D

[kc0stp]

How long do we have to decide? Depending on if I can land a job (preferbly 1 that doesnt require weekends) I could be talked into joining.

[turboed22]

I may be interested. I will let you know...

[Mr. Sociable]

If you need people, I was on team n00b for the last half of the season last year. It's definitely my 4th season, but I still haven't done enough events to be a non-novice for various reasons. :rolleyes:

[Swanson]

How many events do you have to make before losing your novice status?

[cojsl]

How many events do you have to make before losing your novice status?

half a season +1 (7 events in a single season)

team n00b is meant primarily for novices, but that's not "set in stone".

Team autocross scoring emphasizes improvement, not "who's fastest", so a team of consistently attending novices (who should be the fastest improving group) has a great shot at winning. The trick is getting at least 5 people to attend (doesn't have to be the same 5) at every event.

[MorganWhaley]

I'd be up for Team N00b. I haven't done a full season yet, just a cumulative of about 20 events. Planning to do a full season this year and focus on being a faster driver vs developing a car. Let me know Jamie!

[cojsl]

Let me know Jamie!

Kirk will be leading n00b this year, I'm just trying to help with new member recruiting.

[PEZi303]

Hey Kirk, looks like you got some good interest. Do you want is to open up your spot on CONOC?

[sportmax]

Sorry guys been busy with my new job so have not been on here lately. Ya i have lots of open spots, so if have novice statues then definitely come join my team :D Even if you've been racing for 5 years yet are still a novice we could use some experienced drivers too ;)

Just let me know your First and last name, Class and number.

Ya Anthony you can take me off the CONOC list.

[Mr. Sociable]

Kirk, you can add me. Daniel Cope #39 STX.




We should get team course walks going too btw. Would be helpful for everyone.

Sounds good, LMK if you need any help.

[MorganWhaley]

I'm in for Team n00b Kirk. Got your PM but couldn't return it because you've reached your message quota. Time to do some spring cleaning! :D

[sportmax]

Pms are clean :D. Sounds good Morgan, what's your class and car #?

We are getting there but the team is only half way full. Who else wants to join team n00b?

[Mr. Sociable]

+1 Lets get this team finalized. Somebody has to be the underdogs. :p

[sportmax]

Some one has to come in last errrr 2nd place ;)

[Jeff AA]

Some one has to come in last...

Hey now! n00b got 7th place out of 9 teams last season, and finished 3rd place in 2 separate events! :p :D

[sportmax]

3 more weeks till the season starts. So lets get some more people or there might not be a Team n00b this year. Guess I'm not good enough at recruiting people.

[Van]

You may have to recruit at the events to get some more guys. Not everyone trolls the forums. We'll find you some team members!

That's a good idea Van, thanks. I didn't really think about that. I was to worried about having a team for the first event. Guess we will see what we can do :D

[Chris Gladu]

you dont need team members for the first couple events, last year we didnt even have a real roster till part way through the season. half our original members were just holding spots so we could start a team lol although it probably helps to have a team early on

[sportmax]

Ok team, I'm going to make some new "Team n00b 2010" magnets this week!
Come find me at the race and ill give u a set :-)

LOL Ya id love to add you to the team. Whats your First and last name? Whats your car # and class and ill add you to the team. Hope you make it out to lots of races this year. Any help we can offer just ask, thats what this team is all about. Getting more novice drivers hooked :D

[hderr]

Did you guys pick up any drivers today that I should have know about?

[Mr. Sociable]

Kirk said he found two other guys, dunno who they are.



Also, Kirk, we need to plan course walks as a group. Would probably be helpful for some of the really brand new guys (and it's more fun, and you get different perspectives).

[bschweig]
