Reno-Fernley ~ 4.1 Mile Track!
 
Hey Everybody!

I hope this beautiful spring weather is treating you all well and that you are able to get out and enjoy it! We at T.E.A.M. Racing have an event at Reno-Fernley Raceway on Memorial Day weekend, May 24-25. Talk about a perfect time of year to go play on the 4.1 mile track! The top is a lot like a huge autocross, while the bottom is a huge horsepower festival. Sign up for both days and you will wind up with nearly five hours of track time!!! Cost is $225 for one day, $400 for the whole weekend. As usual, the fee includes a supply of bottled water and Gatorade, healthy snacks, catered lunches, and expert instruction. The registration form is at www.onemain.com/~bonster/rfr.pdf If you have any problems accessing the form, simply email or PM me and I will send you over a copy of the form.

It may be a bit of a drive for some, but TRUST ME – it will be worth the drive! :) Let’s welcome this wonderful weather and reward ourselves to an outstanding weekend at the track!

Oh man,

I wish that didn't conflict with our Reno SCCA solo schedule :(

Hey Bonni,

I enjoyed THill last Friday, I'm working on getting some of the Tahoe/Reno guys signed up for RFR. Dennis is bringing the RX's up so we'll be there! Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.

Like I said over at the RenoSCCA forums, this is going to be a tough choice. The TEAM event at RFR is usually the most fun RFR event of the year, but I was already planning on going to Hawthorne this year.

So, I'm either going to have to go back on attending Hawthorne, or skip the best RFR event of the year. :(

Matt, Mike, Dean... etc... you guys are all going to Hawthorne, right? Half the fun of the TEAM event is driving with you guys there!

Tahoe C5 2008-04-10 02:23 PM

Fernley 35 Miles vs. Hawthorne 132 Miles.
RFR 5 hours seat time vs. Hawthorne 10 minutes seat time.
Your bed vs. Hawthorne's finest accomadations.

HMMMMM.....think about it.

Well, the most fun from either event comes from the camaraderie. So if everyone's in Hawthorne, it's going to be the more fun place regardless of seat time.

Ideally, we'd get all the cool people to skip Hawthorne and come to RFR. ;)

Nick Koan 2008-04-10 02:34 PM

If only the RFR event would get me some season points :p

Right on.

If I wasn't stuck doing the timing at Gaythawne I would definately be at this event :(

It seems to me you should be able to train someone to cover it for you by then... :?:

Bonster 2008-04-10 03:41 PM

Dang. This seems to happen pretty much every year. I wish I'd seen that SCCA schedule ahead of time. I would have booked a different weekend just so you guys could make it. And hey Sperry . . . cool people WILL be there. Loren and I are cool people, aren't we??? Huh??? Hmph. ;)

Bonster 2008-04-10 03:42 PM

Hey Mike . . . call in "sick" a few days before. We won't tell! And we'll delete this thread so nobody will find out. Bwahahaha. I am SUCH a bad influence. ;)

Of course you and Loren are cool. I'm just trying to get the cool autocrossers out to the track too. But the lame autocrossers can go to Hawthorne as far as I'm concerned. :devil:

I am the worst salesman in the world, I spend all my time bitching to everyone who will listen how much timing sucks, then I can't find anyone to take over :lol:

Actually I am already planning on faking my death then having cosmetic surgery to get out of it.

Bonster 2008-04-10 03:50 PM

Hey Nick . . . just get TTOD at your next several autox's and you'll still have plenty of points. ;) They drop your two (? if memory serves ?) worst events anyway.

Nick Koan 2008-04-10 04:11 PM

4 in our region I believe :D

But, much like Mike I am in a volunteer position that needs to be there, registration. So, unfortunately, there isn't much I can do. :(

The lame autocrossers will probably still be able to spank the "wussies" from LV.

Bonster 2008-04-10 04:20 PM

As usual, the SECCS forum is one of my favorites to post in . . . folks are so much fun here, even if they can't make it to our event. At least this thread has made me laugh. I'm sure we'll get a good group of Subies up there. You'll get to see me drive Loren's Vette. Yeah, sure. :D Careful where you leave your keys, Loren. ;)

MattR 2008-04-10 04:25 PM

Yeah, we have an autocross on that day every year.

MPREZIV 2008-04-10 04:32 PM

Mmm... I usually don't attend out of town auto-x events. If my wallet agrees, this I may have to do. Never been on RFR before!

Bonster 2008-04-10 04:35 PM

Love the South Park avatar MPREZIV. We have plenty of instructors more than happy to help you as much as you need them. :)

Last year I had the RFR event the weekend after Father's Day . . . also an autox weekend. I can't win! Wahhhh!!! :D I will try and ask you all next year when your autocrosses are so that I can get more of you out to RFR. Subies BELONG on that track. :D

If there is any chance you can make it, then go for it. The track is eleventeen thousand times more fun than autox, and the TEAM event is always one of the best ways to do RFR

If you're not going to be at Hawthorne, you better be at RFR!
