wow, this seccs track day idea is going to be awesome. Matt and Scott, again, good thinking to get some momentum going on this.
Pat & Mike, right on with the clock comments, don't need the weight, and it's time to floor it, 'specially on an open road with the top down. That's a future dream, have a car where i can drive with the top down. |
I was just kidding with the clock comment, geez... :lol: Everyone should know if I had my druthers the OEM's would offer lightweight racing models of performance cars straight from the factory, no sound deadening, no A/C, no radio, no interior, no nothing.

Alright, I just got more info from the driving school via email:

I'm also leaning towards May 1st for the day since that fits in after the April Reno AutoXes and before RIM (May 7,8,9). Other days available (as far as the Reno AutoX schedule) are April 3 and April 10, unless we're willing to try and get the track day in at the end of March, which would be the weekend right after the Buttonwillow track day... probably too soon. |
May 1 sounds good now lets get 20 cars 8)
|
Is this a track day or a school? From the ET email (and their website) it sounds more like a school for beginners only. What about those of us with more track experience? Would this be a waste of time/$ for us?
Can you guys give us some more details on what exactly you're proposing for this event? I assumed it would be similar to other HPDE's I've attended where you have different run groups based on experience level. |

Holding the school on May 1st sounds cool to me. |

Another big reason for the school, is that we have lots of people w/o a lot of track experience in SECCS, and we want to try and get these people up and running. Once you've done the beginner class at Reno-Fernely, then you're eligible to run the Test-n-Tune days whenever you like, so we want to get as many people eligible as possible for future Test-n-Tunes. Plus there's always the argument that there's *always* something to learn from an instructor, even if you're an instructor yourself. |
Count me in for 1 day

I just did not want to be stuck in a beginner class if that was all they are going to offer. If they are offering intermediate classes as well, then I'll definitely attend. |

I'm down with a one or two day event.
Lowball |
I would be up for a day or two!
theo |
The more days the better! Well, maybe just 2.
|
Event planning has kinda been on the back burner with the I-Club track day, and my extensive overtime at work lately. Now that Buttonwillow is over, I think we'll be able to get things rolling again with Reno-Fernely.
Chances are the event will be a Saturday only, however, I'll bet the track will be available for test-n-tune on Sunday too. |
Okay, some more info!
I've been emailing back and forth with the school trying to hammer out a date that will work for both our schedules. Here's the list of dates they have available that don't conflict with one of our already scheduled events: Sat, July 24 - Potentially conflicts w/ Summer SCCA Test-n-Tune Sun, July 25 Sat, July 31 - Potentially conflicts with Lovelock Solo1 Trials Sun, Aug. 1 - Potentially conflicts with Lovelock Solo1 Trials Sun, Aug. 8 Sat, Aug 28 Sun, Aug 29 How does everyone feel about these dates? I'm thinking this may need to be a late August event. I wonder how friggen hot it will be out at Fernley! Another option would be to make this a weekday event, since it will cost a little less, and we'll have plenty more options as far as scheduling. I'd really like a Saturday event so Sac and Bay Area people can come up Friday night and not have to take a day off work. Our new goal is to get 30 people for the event, so we can take over the track for ourselves. I think I may be able to get several people from here at work that have some crazy fast cars, plus all the people that have already expressed interest, I think 30 is possible! |
I am interested! Any date is fine by me except July the 24th ... I would kind of like to go to the autocross school that day since I am so n00btastic
|
I like the timing of the July 31/Aug 1 dates.

I thought you need a full race car to go to solo 1? Cage, fire suppression, the whole bit.

When you set a date I would love to come up from Stockton. Would this be a Subaru only event? I have several track buddies with 240sx's that would love to come.
Later PDQWRX |

We can set a date as soon as I get some more feedback. It's looking like I'm just going to have to pick one myself and say, too bad if you can't make it, ya'll had your chance! :P |
