Thanks to everyone who came out to the car show, it was a great success. I will get some pictures up ASAP. Also, yesterday was the last Misery Bay autocross of the season at Lake Erie Speedway. It was nice to see a few Behrend people out having some fun.

Last night was the last meeting of the semester. The points winners recieved their prizes. Congrats to Tim D. for being the winner. Unfortunately the event at Lake Erie Speedway got cancelled due to lack of interest. However, this weekend there is an autox at the Speedway though. After the meeting, we cruised down to Bruster's on Peach Street for some ice cream. Have a great summer everyone, and watch your inbox for emails from Nathan/Logan for stuff that might be going on over the summer.

At the autocross, food will be available, being catered by Dobbins. Please plan to get there early so we can get the event started. Remember...if you are not there in time to register, too bad.

Thanks to all who came out to the GT4 tournament yesterday. There were some close races but Ben Wigg eventually came out as the victor. Afterwards we hung out for a bit and then went on a cruise. Mike M. got to flex the muscles of his Grand National. A good time was had by all.

This evening we had an engine quiz made by Logan. He then discussed the GT4 tournament which is next weekend. It will be located in Kochel 69 which is downstairs in the Kochel building. Players will pull a track out of a hat and that track will have a car assigned to it. Some combinations will be realistic and some will be for fun. The club is getting t-shirts. They will be for sale for $10. The colors will be navy blue w/ white letters and possibly a grey with black letters. Also, the weekend of 4/20 - 4/22 is a big one for the auto club. The car show is on Friday and the Autocross is on Sunday, so mark your calendars! Flyers will soon be available to post for these events so keep your eyes/ears open.

Hope everyone had a great spring break. Due to complications there will be no GT4 tournament this weekend. It has been moved to Saturday, April 14. For the Autocross, food will be provided by Dobbins in the Picnic Grove. If you have any ideas for events for the day we are at Lake Erie Speedway, let any of the officers know.

This evening we discussed the GT4 tournament, which will be held the weekend after Spring Break. Logan also said that Lake Erie Speedway is interested in the club providing entertainment for a chili cook-off on May 12. We would have free rein of the track to do drifting, burnouts, etc. Stay posted for more info. He also said that there is a possibility of the club partnering with Lake Erie Speedway for another event in September.

The date for the car show is Friday, April 20, and the autocross is the following Sunday, April 22. These are important events for the club so mark your calendars! Logan and Nate are also planning a trip to the "home of the huge hamburger" in NY. If you are interested please contact either Logan or Nate. Next meeting old club t-shirts will be on sale. These need to be sold in order to have new ones made.

If you ordered stickers they are available for pickup from Mike M. Logan also brought up the possiblilty of going to a good wing place in Buffalo, NY. Date is TBA, but possibly next Saturday. Contact Nathan for more details. The autocross for the spring was discussed. There will be a competition between Behrend students and Gannon students. Date is still TBA. Logan is working on that. Plans for T-shirts was finalized and they will be black with white lettering with a small design on the front and a larger design on the back. Price will be ~$7.00.

Tonight was the first quiz of the semester; a basic "Name that Car" quiz. Nathan and Logan went over what was going on for the car show and handed out flyers to be hung up ASAP. There was a cruise down to Peach Street afterwards. The car show is going to be held in the Jordan Road parking lot starting around 5:00pm. Pizza and soda will be served.

I am finally able to update this site. I will be going through and trying to organize the files on my end and if you see any dead links or things that don't look right let me know at a meeting or email me at: ntl5002@psu.edu and I will try and fix it as soon as possible. I am going to try and have this site updated after every meeting so incase you miss a meeting you will know what what happened.

We are going to have our first meeting on Sept. 20 at 8:10pm in REDC 001. We will try this room out and see how everyone likes it. This meeting wil give the new members a chance to meet the senior members and see what we are all about. We will go for a cruise afterwards, probably down to Bruster's on Peach Street.

It is now time for the GT 4 Tournament.  Currently the rules are as stated.  We are allowing tuned cars this year but they must be built to spec:

Vehicles: We have a 500hp max limit without nitrous...we don't want to see the red bar.  There is a 300hp max limit with nitrous.  You can tune any car you want as long as we can see the HP in the garage.  There is no limit to how many cars you can bring.  If you do not choose to use a tuned car, you can use any car in arcade mode.  There is an F1 ban for this race.  Be aware that in arcade mode you can only use sports tires for tuned cars and that whether or not traction control is on or off can vary from game to game (stupid GT4 issue).

Tracks: We will be using all the tracks in 2player arcade mode.  All tracks will be only the normal way, ie no reverse tracks.  The exception is rallies.  Because there are only three rallies, rallies will be both normal and reverse.  Tracks will be chosen before the race out of a hat...you do not choose your track to race on.  All of the beginner tracks, such as Test Course and Beginner, will not be used...they are to boring to race on.

I have added the member profile part to the members rides so please check that out.  Also I wanted to remind everyone that our next meeting will be September 28 in Nick.  We are planning on doing a scavenger hunt that day so make sure you show up.  If you have a car bring it.  Four people per car/team.  Also the car show is October 7 starting at 5:00pm at the Wilson's Picnic Grove, so get the word out.  The rain date is October 8th.
