This is a private event hosted by the people for the people.
There will be multiple run groups small enough to get you a couple laps per series.

D'oh i've always wanted to do one of these but there's a SCCA autox at Oakland that day

 

Yeah, I'm just not a parkinglot full of cones kind of guy. I always get lost.

I like the smaller group too. last ime guys were getting 8-11 runs. We do back to back runs as well so it's not so long between groups.

 

I'm going to try and make it out there

 

Awesome Ryan. Have someone co-pilot a pacer as well. I want pics of the pacer on top of the leader board. Lol
I would like to get a ride in the STi if there is a chance.

 

afternoon bump.

 

This is interesting. Would consider it, but auto-x'ing in Oakland this weekend, too.

 

Just say no to cones. Lol

 

What are cones?

Does Altamont still do that Thursday thing? I want to do that at least once.

 

They do it once in a while. It is $75 though. I would rather $80 for all day & timing. Not to mention the look on the guy in the porsche when you smoke his time. Or the Miata that wants more small turns with cones so he doesn't have to worry about the guys with power.

 

Bump--

 

raar. sounds hella fun. ill be bringing my legastar.

 

Of the subies that came I'm not sure who was who on the forums. FOr those that didn't make it hope we will see you next time on September 2nd. After talking with a couple of the drivers that were there, we should have quite a few Evo's. Maybe the Subies will want to face off. Lol

I will post the event info soon. Keep your eyes peeled. Subscribe to this thread & I will tell you when I post the event thread.

There will be pre-registration this time & we may have enough cars to cap it to a set number of track entries. Want to keep the intimate vibe with tons of runs. We will be allowing the guests, but maybe limit the number of cars so pre-registration is going to be important for those that want track time.

Also, there will be a full BBQ going on next time with more shade & maybe some car club type meets. Of course I will need volunteers & organiztion help so if you like doing that, let me know.
