I'm getting:
"Error downloading codec"

DIVX is installed, but the video isn't playing - what format/compression was used? This is on an XP Pro workstation. Dan got the same error, not sure if he has the DIVX codecs isntalled or not.

A few questions...
- on the web page, it indicates all cars must meet CCR regs for racing safety. However, the general NASA TT rules indicate HPDE safety rules are sufficient. Will a 4pt rollbar be sufficient?
- what personal safety gear is required? Nomex, or is long cotton sufficient?
- NASA TT rules state drivers must have completed HPDE4 - in the MA, this is the instructor group. Is this correct, or should it read HPDE3?

I don't think it is Divx coded - I used Windows Media Player -

Sure, as long as it meets the requirements for the cage capacities - size of tubing, etc. for the weight of your car.

- Hillclimbing is really a tarmac rally - you'll need:
&gt; Rollbar that neets CCR specs for the weight of your car
&gt; Fireproof Driving Suit
&gt; Fireproof Shoes
&gt; Fireproof Gloves
&gt; SA00 Helmet or better
&gt; Fire extinguisher or fire bottle in the car

- For Hillclimbs we are allowing anyone who has been in at least two(2) HPDE 2 sessions and been signed off to drive solo.

Jim, that is not my car, I was in the blue Impreza #517. My Subaru has pretty much been retired from competition although I have been planning a comeback.

That is Jerrys Impreza from Deadbolt/Boxer4racing.

I will be away that week on vacation with my family. My grandmother needs help spending her money but she won't support my racing so I have to go about getting it other ways.
