Fernley road course - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

dknv · 2003-06-03, 04:41 PM

Did I already mention, the news that the first 1+ miles is paved?

(I don't want to get one of those "WTLW" spanks.)

It's a good first step, and NASA is scheduled to hold 2 driving event weekends there, July 19-20, and Aug 9-10 (both are also autox weekends,

)

I heard they were under a tight schedule to get it done. I was told way back when it's a 3 mile road course, but can be run as two 1.5 mile courses. They were supposed to have one of the 1.5 mile courses paved for events this summer... looks like they're on schedule! (how refreshing!)

The real question is... can we go and run the unpaved 1.5 miles?

ZER026D · 2003-06-04, 12:00 PM

I cant wait to go race there.

MattR · 2003-06-04, 12:33 PM

They should leave one of the tracks unpaved

JC · 2003-06-04, 01:08 PM

Pavement is for pussies.

ZER026D · 2003-06-04, 05:53 PM

Or for people that are droped 2-3 inches with body kits.

Like I said, pussies.

ZER026D · 2003-06-04, 05:59 PM

Just like RS owners.

Thought I would let you all know that I was told that the course is now booked for the next 5 years with different events, I do not know what or when. I will be getting that info later.

ArthurS · 2003-06-09, 05:56 PM

Thanks and let us know. I want to do my 1/4 mile at some point.

Trust me, No you don't

ArthurS · 2003-06-09, 09:15 PM

Yea I do. I know it will be super slow, but still curious before I put any power mods on. Something to work from I guess.

MattR · 2003-06-10, 05:54 AM

Yeah, that is the best way to guage the effectiveness of new mods...with the exception of a dyno of course.

ArthurS · 2003-06-10, 06:31 AM

Is there a AWD Dyno in town?

Solomon · 2003-06-10, 07:31 AM

not that I have found.

Nearest AWD dyno is Vishnu's in the Bay Area (Pleasenton) I believe.
