aztecdriver Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I would not worry about it. Plenty of sporty cars come to the range. Mark Just like my Jetta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrawandDuck Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 This will be my first time coming to East Alabama and I just wanted to know if I can get my low sitting 350z down the gravel road once I get there. I plan on just making the drive from Birmingham Friday morning so I can sleep in my own bed. I wanted to drive my car so I can make good time not to mention it is way more comfortable than my truck. I am in squad 14. I've taken a vette down the road when it was rougher several years ago, just better hope the river isn't high or you may float down stream some before making it to the other side..........pretty sure speed limit is the same for your car as it is your truck.....

MrPostman Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks for all the replies. You are right about the speed limit being the same for both vehicles but I usually dont drive the speed limit in my car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPostman Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Any idea when the stages will be posted? I see the match status is still pending approval on the USPSA website even though they have already approved another match the month after this match......

Hamm Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Stages maybe post by March 1 . Then maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark K Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Any idea when the stages will be posted? I see the match status is still pending approval on the USPSA website even though they have already approved another match the month after this match...... We only submitted the stages for approval about 10 days ago. I have had the first round of critique from NROI on the stages, and have replied with some changes and some comments. Once approved, I will probably post the stages about the 1st of March, maybe a week earlier. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akkid17 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Anyone else watching the weather reports ... I'm going to Alabama to get away from snow and ice. Haha. Hopefully it's all back to how it should be by next month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark K Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 All the stages have been approved,and the match has been approved as a Level II match. I will post the stages on or about the 1st of March. Thanks, Mark Oh, and you Yankees - Keep that nasty weather up your way, we have had enough of it...... Farmer's Almanac says we should be good on the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackJones Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Can't wait. Mark - can you give us a minimum round count? I need to know if one case from Bayou is enough . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark K Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Can't wait. Mark - can you give us a minimum round count? I need to know if one case from Bayou is enough . 271rounds for 9 shooting stages - 30.11round average. Down just slightly from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark K Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Fair warning - CHRONO AND EQUIPMENT CHECK this year. We had Chrono the first year we hosted. Second year we had Chrono and Equipment check, but Chrono got thrown out (but not equipment check). Last year, staffing problems kept us from having Chrono. This year, Chrono will be top notch. Make sure your bullets make PF, and everything that has to me measured/weighed is up to snuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark K Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Also, just FYI - this year our cash payouts are higher, and will go deeper (1st place only for Unclassified). We will go as deep as 4th Place, if there are 16 shooters in a division/class. Trophy/cash payout placing is based on 4/8/12/16 participants. These placing and payouts are based on the numbers entered on 1 March (we have to get Trophies made, and have to have a cutoff date. We award HOA, Sectional Champion (high AL Resident) and category prizes (if there are 3 in a cat) in all divisions. HOA will not then also be eligible to win their div/class. However, Sectional Champion and Category winners may also collect any Div/cat awards, if any. For example, if GM XXX wins Limited, he will not be eligible for 1st place Limited GM, but if he is an Alabama resident, he will be awarded the AL Sectional Champion award, and if he is a Junior, he would also get High Junior, if there were at least 3 juniors in Limited. HOA payout amount is based on the number of participants in the division. Thus if there are 65 Limited shooters, and 40 Prod shooters, HOA Limited will payout more. As most of you know, we do not do a prize table, we take all sponsor prizes and award those based on a blind drawing of all shooters, and those prizes will be in the shooters bags at registration. I don't have an exact count, but our sponsorship prize donations are WAY UP from last year. Clear? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
