There's a spot to select which forum you want it posted in, at least from the original post. Dean just posted one.darreng505 said:I edited the event in calendar, but can't see how to select what board it gets auto-posted to. Is it a configuration on the admin side Rick?

You don't need to spend a lot on tire blankets, or buy some expensive thing from a racers catalog....
Go to Lowes, and you will find aluminum backed bubble stuff they call "Reflectix" insulation, it costs $25 for 25 feet of 2 foot width, less for the 16 inch width and more ($41) for the four foot width. Figure out how much you need and make four covers. Make them about 25 inches tall with a 13 inch top radius, kinda like a upside down U when viewing from the side, make them about 15 inches deep. The stuff cuts fine with scissors, and it is real easy to work with...The end piece can just be duct taped into place or you can scrunch the corners and stapel it, or they have special tape to use on the stuff that will hold even better. Just slide them in from the outside and they will work fine. If you want to get really sexy you can put flappy kind of backs on them, but I don't think anybody bothers with that anymore.
We use them between runs all year if we are running in first heat, to keep the heat in the tires between first and second runs, or if it looks like it is going to be a long time between runs.
Really a set of tire covers are a basic necessity if you are autocrossing on race tires in any climate other than maybe California or Arizona....
Just make up a set and get it over with, if you are running real tires this is probalby the cheapest thing you can do that will extend the usefulness of your tires....
