And, what are the requirements for being able to take the Instructor clinic on Friday?

Any advanced students with an interest in teaching. Attendance does not require that you then instruct at the event, though you can if you are so inclined.

Expect my entry in the second week of next month Dean. I'll probably run in the Intermediate group (4 previous track days) unless something compelling convinces me to forgo track time for excersises. And the entry fee doesn't include club membership right? What's that run, $35?

I will sign up on monday, I am in for sure.

Me too! Can't wait.

We are getting there. The front page now has had the out of date events removed, but no update on RFR yet... They alleged it would get done today... I am not holding my breath.

Still no update. I'm watching closely, please let us know when it comes up.

Don't get me started on this... Lets just say after my phone meeting with the motorsportreg.com folks this afternoon, we will have a registration page...

Sweet, I love squashing balls to get things done, good work.

Registration is now open!

http://www.audiclubgoldengate.org/fe...005/index.html

I'm registered and paid...Signed up as an intermediate. Looking forward to it.

SECCS registrations will be tracked in the first post....

Excellent. I will sign up Monday as my Audi CLub info is at work. Should be a blast! Are people staying out in Fernley or just making day trips out of it? I think I will stay out there Saturday night.

Signed up as intermediate and paid

I think I will plan on driving to and from my house...No need to stay in fernley. Nick, you can claim some couch space here at the house if needed, whatever you prefer...This should be a lot of fun, I'm glad there will be several of us out there.

Be aware, you need to be AT THE TRACK BY OR BEFORE 7:30AM. Mandetory Driver's meeting is 7:45, and first car out is 8:00AM... Reno is going to make that a stretch for anyone who is not used to getting up early in the morning. No names, but you know who you are. I reccomend getting a room, and sharing.

Party Party Party!

Signed up for the intermediate group and paid for!

For those staying out in Fernley (I think I will as the mandatory meetings are not only in the morning, but also the night before)

Which hotel?

I will be signing up tonight... I don't have my ACNA number on me here at work.

WTF? That's bullshit...Well, can we Reno peeps at least car-pool friday night? :~:

I know, that makes it mandatory to be in Fernley Friday night. Thanks for the offer on the couch by the way; but I am a terrible morning person. For track days, I'm pretty sure I'll be needing a bed. Being out there will make me be on time.

They also do tech inspection on Friday, so you may want to all drive out there anyway unless you want to get up really early on Saturday. Either way this will be a blast.

Oh Crap, maybe I'll just get a room out there now, but crap...

Dean:

For this event, which hotel will host the banquet and driver's meetings?

Let's see... the cost of gas, plus inconvience of having to drive to/from Fernley a few times, vs. getting to sleep in my own bed instead of paying for a shared motel room in Fernley.

I think I'll be staying in Reno and commuting to the track day.

Yeah, I will be commuting from Reno too...No big deal, it's only 40 minutes to get out there.

I thought at thunderhill in january that there were a couple of people who showed up on the saturday morning, they missed the friday meeting.

We extremely frown on folks not coming to the Friday meetings.

Feel free to commute, but don't be late...

Your confirmation should have a link to a welcome packet that has all the info. Fri. meetings will be at the community center, and BBQ/Banquet will be at the Golf Club. Tech & Reg is at the track. Hotels got nothing, so all you do there is sleep.

good news and some of you will laugh and be in shock but my grandparents want to run their 97 SVX!! So i FOR SURE will be out there =D

You REALLY should get out there in your car Brandon. You'll learn more in this weekend (making you both faster on the track and safer on the street) than you will anywhere else short of a full-on driving school like Skip Barber or Jim Russell.

So are all three of you going to be students.

i will for sure... my grandparents are unsure if they wanna run or just come take pics of everyone and buy food and drinks. =D

i have officially signed up :)

I know you wrote this, but I was just going through the list and did not see you registered for the event. It is Brandon, isn't it?

EDIT: Ignore this... We are having data extract problems from the database. You are there.

So people who have been to an Audi event, Nick, Mike, Debbie... should I make Matt and Scott go through the classroom and exercises and put them in the beginner group? :twisted:

I won't mind the classroom time if it doesn't take away from my track time. But unless the beginner group plans on hitting the esses at 110 mph... it's probably better for all of us if I'm in an intermediate group. :lol:

That would be truly evil of you. Unless this is your way to get back at Scott for taking your car offroad.

Dean how many people are in a run group? Can we all get together in a single run group?

I don't know that Scott or Matt need the slalom or braking exercises, but they really should do the Lane Toss! :devil:

They can practice the lane toss at 120 mph in turns 1 - 4 :twisted:

So, you either go into turns 1-4, or you go into the drag strip starting area... :twisted:

Or into the weeds. So there you have it - 3 lane toss.

We know which one Scott will choose....

Something tells me this is going to get milked for a long time

moo.

Hahahahaah! At Last :lol: I will no longer be made fun of for my massive off at Lovelock! right?

Correct! The torch has been passed!!

(I should shut up, I will probably be next)

Even though Matt went off in much more spectacular fashion, I had in-car for my off which makes it infinitely cooler than Matt's off. :P

Why thank You :cool:
