June 11-12 Audi event at Reno-Fernley Raceway - Page 3 - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

The torch never passes, it only ignites others. We will each be remembered in our own way and harrased accordingly. While it wasn't an official "off", my 80MPh or so full throttle power slide at Stead on the Corvette course isn't going to leave anyone's memory soon I'm sure.

Yeah, but I did that one too.

At least I didn't go off over a worker station, then into the runway later.

Do we need to bring numbers to this event, or does the audi club supply them again?

MattR · 2005-06-08, 04:48 PM

So, can I get some input on being a beginner (I've been placed in beginner class)...Mike K, what exactly are we in for? I'm curious.

MikeK · 2005-06-08, 07:09 PM

You are in for a pleasant weekend of driving slowly around the track!

WTF are you in the beginner class for? Dean? I assumed we are all in the intermediate class? Matt how did you find out that you were in the beginner class? If it's posted in this thread that won't surprise me considering how stupid it was that I couldn't see the one tube that was flopping around with a loud hiss stealing all my boost!

sperry · 2005-06-09, 09:03 AM

From what I gathered Dean was instructed that all drivers new to the Audi Club are required to run in the beginner class.

However, the latest is that Dean's been able to sweet talk us back into the Intermediate group.

While I understand the AC's position that everyone should experience the exercises and classroom time that the beginner group does, it doesn't make sense to put people like Matt and I through it, since it's basically a waste of our time.

Now, I don't want to come off sounding like a pompous Schumaker wanna-be... I'm sure I would learn something in the beginner group. But for my $325, I'd like to be able to tap the resources of the Audi Club's excellent instructors at the driving level that would be most appropriate for my skill level. From what MikeK's told me, you spend the morning driving a slalom, braking exercise, and a lane toss... sounds very similar to the autocross school that I've been an instructor at for the last 2 seasons!

Anyway, I'm glad Dean's been able to move us up. Had he not, I probably would have simply asked for my money back.

doubleurx · 2005-06-09, 09:17 AM

Dean's the Man!

Thanks

doubleurx · 2005-06-09, 09:28 AM

Dean: I can't seem to access the website to download schedules etc. Could you bring me a copy tonight?

Oops! I just realized that you probably won't be there tonight. Maybe Matt or Scott or Mike?

Thanks

MikeK · 2005-06-09, 09:39 AM

I will print it and bring it tonight

doubleurx · 2005-06-13, 10:33 AM

Thanks again.

That was a great event. I managed to clean all the butterflys off before my daughter saw them this morning.

Tons of fun once again.

Dean · 2005-06-13, 03:22 PM

You are welcome.

All in all a good 3 days.

pics?

Allen_A · 2005-06-14, 01:15 PM

Dean nice job on organizing this event. I had a very good time and was very happy that I didn't stack into a wall or slide off the track at Mach 10.

The class instruction was very good from Dean T.

Anyway, thanks again and if any of you have Brandon's address or email, please IM me. I have some of his stuff.

Thanks,
Allen
