Reno SCCA Track Driving July 23-24 - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

MattR · 2005-07-17, 09:29 PM

Reno SCCA will be conducting a performance driving experience on Saturday July 23 and Sunday July 24. Basically, a chance to get some track time at Reno Fernley Raceway, with some instruction and likely a lot of track time. I have signed up to run sunday only, and you can run wither one or two days.

Along with the driving school, there will be a time trial race run along side, so that will be cool to watch.

I'm not 100% sure on the format, but in talking to some of the planners this weekend, I was assured that it will be an enjoyable time at RFR.

Here is the entry link Renoo SCCA @ RFR

And you can sign up and pay at www.myautoevents.com

Pat R. · 2005-07-17, 09:51 PM

I was talking with Dave tonight and he told me that they have reversed their earlier decision to exclude convertables without SCCA-approved roll hoops. I will be there for one or both days, I haven't decided yet.

sperry · 2005-07-17, 10:41 PM

Since it's very unlikely that I'll have a car by then, I won't be driving. However, I'm planing on being out there both days to help out and run the timing system.

Libila · 2005-07-18, 01:41 PM

I'm planning on going, I'm just not sure which day.

I'll be the one with an arm out of the window signaling people to pass the entire time.

MikeK · 2005-07-18, 02:11 PM

I signed up for sunday. It looks like there is hardly anyone signed up on the entry list, hopefull we will have the track all to ourselves!

Excellent Mike, I can 't wait man.

Hopefully Nick Sonder sees this...come on out man. I wish Eric could attend, but he is out of commission for a long time, I'll let him explain. Should be a ton of track time

Looks like the deadline for registration is Tuesday (tomorrow) and a $25 late fee will be added after that. So sign up now guys.

MattR · 2005-07-18, 02:53 PM

IN:
1. Matt R - Sunday
2. Mike K - Sunday
3. Pat R -?
4. Tim- Sunday
5. Scott - Working only both days

Mike just PM'd me on this. It is a possibility, I will check with the wife tonight. My only chance would be if I don't go to Thunderhill next Friday. It may be a stretch for me as my weekends have been a little crazy lately and I went to the Mt. Hamilton thing this last weekend. It was fun, but the drive was painful. My outside temp guage read 116F through Roseville! Either way, Chelle is pushing for some significant family time boating on the weekends. I'll give it a shot though.

MikeK · 2005-07-18, 03:10 PM

Tyson?

Libila · 2005-07-18, 03:31 PM

Count me in for Sunday only.

MattR · 2005-07-18, 03:33 PM

Yeah, I had to back out of Thunderhill on the 29th...just can't make a friday work right now.

Pat R. · 2005-07-18, 06:03 PM

I'll be there Sunday at least. I'm thinking about picking up a used Kart so I may go to the races at DRP on Saturday to check out the scene.

I probably won't make the last couple auto-x's either.

such is life.

sperry · 2005-07-18, 08:45 PM

That sucks Tyson!

I would be doing the same thing, dropping T-Hill and going to RFR instead, but as far as I know, S-Squared hasn't even *started* on my car yet, so I'm actually begining to wonder if I'll make the 29th at this point. I was really hoping to have the car back this week so I could break in the motor, and now it's looking like I'm gonna be lucky to have a non-broken in motor done in time.

qksubi · 2005-07-19, 02:47 AM

I want to go but my left knee is holding me back a little it has a ton of fluid in it and my srews in the top part of my tibia platou are exposed which means pain a lot of pain

Zack shot a pic of it after I took a digger at the skate park here it is

LetItRev · 2005-07-19, 06:23 AM

Holy Grapefruit size knee Batman!

That looks painful indeed.

Pat R. · 2005-07-19, 07:34 AM

I'm no doctor but I prescribe lots of beer for that knee.

MikeSTI · 2005-07-19, 07:58 AM

ohh my that does not look good Eric

I hope it gets better soon.............

doubleurx · 2005-07-19, 08:01 AM

Man Eric...what happened? Or is that corrective surgery you've been planning?

I agree...............Beer!

Track day does not look likely for me either.

qksubi · 2005-07-19, 09:20 AM

That's a good example why A 35yr old boy shouldnt still ride a skateboard you really get hurt. Zack and I had a early morning session because of the heat when I got home I was packing the Sti for Autox and Zack was alliing over my spare that I had taking out of the trunk it look easy enough so I tried it. I landed it few times and then wham I really do not know what happenned next thing I know my knee is the size of grapefruit and Im in a shit load of pain! So i get in see my Orthapedic(sp) yesterday He says you have a serious problem your knee has been grinding against bone exposing the scews you have in your tibia platue you need a knee replacment so he recomended me to a Dr. in sac to scope the knee to see what is what I will keep you guys in the loop and teel you whats going on.The only thing good aboout this is the parking I will get out of this

MikeK · 2005-07-19, 09:58 AM

Somehow I don't think a handicapped parking tag makes up for the damage! I guess that means you are definately going to have surgury?

Didn't your doctor (and all of us) warn you about riding so much?!

Sounds like you're gonna need one of these:

Just make sure yours goes "Baaa-na-na-na-na-na-na-na" whenever you jump!

doubleurx · 2005-07-19, 07:38 PM

I still have a chance that I might show for this. I just e-mailed Doug Driver to see if he can waive the late fee. He worked for a past client of mine in Incline. Unfortunately money is very tight for me right know due to a bunch of rat - bastard developers! wait did I just say that out loud?
