Makes sense Dean...except that 2nd paragraph...What don't you want to know about? Nevermind, you were referring to your voice in my head.

Yah, it's only when I'm driving...thank god!!!!

Jcjentz · 2009-04-03, 12:26 PM

so is their an admission price for spectators or is it free to watch? also what is the fee if i want to go one day and not the season

Nick Koan · 2009-04-03, 12:28 PM

No price for spectators, but you have to sign a waiver at the registration desk.

If you want to drive for one day, the price (I believe) is still $25/day but you have to buy a weekend membership for $15 along with it. Weekend membership is good for both days, so you'd only pay that once per weekend. A year membership is $75 I believe, and then you don't have to pay that $15 fee every weekend.

Nick Koan · 2009-04-03, 12:30 PM

Anyway, I'll probably see you guys on Sunday. I won't be able to make it to the school, but I'll be at the first event.

Still debating on showing up with 1 year old race tires, or 2.5 year old RE-01Rs

huh not bad.. except for the tires i would go through..

Dewey · 2009-04-03, 01:31 PM

If only I could run on acceptable tires. Haha.. I still have to run on all-seasons until I can afford some Dunlops.

Shoobie · 2009-04-03, 03:28 PM

Damn, I was really hoping to make it to the driving school this year. Unfortunately I have a work meeting at 8:30 on Saturday, and my TBE install didn't get finished last weekend like I'd hoped. I haven't got a helmet yet, either (where should I look for one?). I might have to hire Dean to explain what the hell I'm supposed to do.

I'll try to make it out on Sunday (in the Subaru or not) to get a feel for how things work. Anyone want to adopt-a-noob for '09?

A1337STI · 2009-04-03, 03:57 PM

Dean i think is out of town Sunday. hehe I can help you out, but i won't be showing up until noon or when ever i need to just run in the afternoon. But i'm sure you'll find some help early on if you want to get a start in the AM to get a chance to run both sessions. (Great seat time mod!)

cody · 2009-04-03, 04:08 PM

Shoobie, everyone should be very helpful, but if you see a big guy in a yellow wagon, I promise to help ya out.

I got my helmet for ~$100 at Summit Racing.

SpenceTi · 2009-04-03, 06:27 PM

I'm coming both days for sure, novice class of course

van · 2009-04-03, 07:51 PM

I think the car is ready, only shakedown its going to get is on the way out there tomorrow

SteveM · 2009-04-03, 08:03 PM

I'm coming and bringing the Alfa! (Because the WRX's tires are about done) Should be interesting on old tires and stock 1974 suspension.

Kevin M · 2009-04-03, 10:07 PM

I'll only have the Mazda 3 this weekend. considering it's still bone stock, I'm guessing it will hold together.

Shoobie · 2009-04-03, 11:12 PM

Thanks guys. If anyone sees a confused looking noob in a SECCS hoodie, it's probably me.

*The School and First Points Event Canceled due to Surface Conditions*

Just thought I would post that up, and let others give more details.

Nick Koan · 2009-04-04, 09:41 AM

Wait, does that mean the school was canceled today, or that the first points event (tomorrow) is canceled.

Yes, the new Chip seal (which basically feels like a pick up truck bed liner only with larger grain) is unfit to run cars on. I was able to test the surface and it is closer to gravel than asphalt. Reno SCCA baord memebrs will meet with Skip on Monday to determine if there is any other location at Stead which can be used. Until then, this weekend is cancelled and next event is tentative.

BTW, it was nice to see so many Subys from the club out there. I think I counted like 16 subarus.

Nick Koan · 2009-04-04, 09:45 AM

Damn, I was actually planning on showing up tomorrow

Kevin M · 2009-04-04, 09:59 AM

There's still the Mather charity event put on by Sac chapter tomorrw, I think. You know, if you're cool with 300 miles roundtrip for a day of conechasing.
