      Yes sir, all we need is marshals.

      Is this your new home track design or one for the club?

      For the casa, the table is around 15.5 X 7. You still need to tell us your plans for the club.

          The following has changed under GT rules:

          Body:
          b) Body must be whole (model must look stock).
          c) Painted cockpit is required.

          Tires:
          c) No traction compounds are allowed.

            Marty,

            Maybe you can do the BRM series Thursday nights instead of the Ad Hoc series, but we should open a separate thread for this discussion.

              I think we can allow gluing tires in the TransAm and F1 series, as we aren’t changing wheels.

              The only problem with that is that we don’t allow wheels to be exchanged or modified. I would probably ruin the plastic wheels if I had to remove a glued tire.

              On the GT rules; Does this sound right: b) Body must be whole.?
              I’m trying to say that the body may not have any holes and that all main parts need to be present. I guess we should add that a painted cockpit is needed.

                I have just made a change to the description. The budget has been removed from under “Car Selection & Tune-up”, now there is a separate description for “Budget”.

                    All right,

                    Badges are $500 (no way Jose).
                    Film Passes are $70 (Waterloo Records)
                    Single tickets are $10 (At the venue 15 min prior to showing).

                    If a theater has a capacity of 200 and there are 200 badge holders in line nobody else gets in. The paramount seats 1200 so I guess one could be there early and get in with a single ticket; I will probably get the film badge and use it on other screenings.

                      Marty,

                      There are 2 showings, the 2nd is on Thursday March 17 7:15PM.

                      Ticket info:

                      19. What should I do to ensure that I get a seat at a Festival screening?

                      This is a tough question. As SXSW Film has grown more popular, more and more screenings have sold out. There is no absolute guarantee of admission. Seating will happen on a priority basis – badge-holders first, then pass-holders, and lastly single-admission ticket holders, if any seats remain. Even though the lines may look long, outside of Opening Night, chances are always good at the Paramount Theatre. The next generously sized venue is the ACC. Lining up 30-45 minutes ahead should save you a place. The Alamo Ritz and Alamo South Lamar cinemas are highly desirable venues and more intimate, so your wait line will depend on the film and time. We try to seat the Alamos 45 minutes in advance of the screening time, so arrive at least that early. In 2011, for the first time, SXSW Film will be utilizing line numbers, so that once you que up, you’ll receive a number noting your place in line. That should help on two counts 1) it’ll prevent line cutters (so, no saving seats!), and 2) you’ll know when capacity is met so there’s no reason to keep waiting on line.

                        Jim,

                        All good, I just did not know where the adapter was. I remember you mentioning it but I did not know if you had it; I just really wanted to know if someone had taken it (sort of a concern for everything else we have there). It is all good, besides, I had already said that I would make you one so please keep that one. Use the adapter with the alligator clips that normally come on the DiFalco. If you want to take the alligators out I will do that for you but keep in mind that other tracks do not offer an XLR connection (San Antonio is one of them).

                        The track was not dirty — after I took the patch down, a lot of the dirty from the ceiling fell on the track and I had to clean it. FYI (everybody): The guy that cleans Kings does not clean our area.

                          If (probably) Chuys is too crowded, we could try Maudies. It is located a few blocks south of Chuys, also on Lamar.

                          Here is the address:
                          Maudie’s North Lamar
                          10205 N. Lamar
                          Austin, TX 78753
                          512-832-0900

                            Marty,

                            I guess Fantasy did not receive the new Slot.It’s. I don’t see them available for purchase.

                              Very nice video! That must have taken ours between shooting & editing.
