I'd worry more about the insurance coverage than running a special timed race... I vote for more open track time.

Either option is OK by me. Looking forward to it either way.

Okay... we've got less than a month before we need to pay in full for the track day!

I am setting Thursday, August 12th as the deadline for payment. If you pay after August 12th, there will be a $20 late fee! Also, we will also not be able to accept any new registrations after August 21st, because we need time to pull any PayPal funds out of our account and it can take 3 to 4 days.

Please get your payments in ASAP. Also, we're still looking for a few more drivers to meet the 30 participant goal. We need 30 people in order to rent out the track!! If you know anyone that might be interested, please pass along the word!

I vote for no relay race, and more open track time.

Oh wait, it isn't a vote ...

I just sent an email off to the track requesting they reschedule the relay portions as open track time.

Lets than two weeks to sign/pay up before the $20 late fees apply! Please, if you haven't paid yet, pay this week and avoid late fees!

Don't stress the 6 mo old rule too much... that's just a good rule of thumb to determine if there's water in the fluid that will boil at track temps. In fact, if you run an agressive fluid, or race a lot, 6 mo. old is probably too old!

How about, "I dont think this fluid has been changed since I got the car"

You should probably do it then. It's not a big operation... just get a bucket, a tube, a wrench, some fluid and a friend, and go to town. Takes me about 30 minutes, unless we've got milkshakes and Speed Channel on.

And having more than 1 friend around doesn't help either!

No, more than 1 friend, means you spend more time BSing and screwing around making runs to Del Taco than actually bleeding the brakes. The last time I bled my brakes, it took like 3 hours, and ended with me and JC standing around in the garage till like 2am talking!

I'd like to set up a pre inspection point the day prior, I'll provide details soon. Also, racerswholesale.com sometimes has really good prices on clearance helmets...I think that's their url?...

Also should I get my tech inspection before the day, or do they require it to be done by the track?
Helmets are usually cheaper online, but you won't get a chance to try 'em on, which is pretty important. I know the local motorcycle places (like Michael's on S. Virginia) have a pretty big selection, but rarely do they have SA2000 rated helmets... so if you're looking for something that you can use for road racing, you probably want to skip the motorcycle shops.

Tech inspection will be at the track the morning of the event. MattR and I (and any other people that have saftey steward type training) will be conducting the inspections. The inspection will be very similar to the inspections given before AutoX events. After you pass inspection, you will receive your class letter, and a number if you didn't bring your own number.

If you know your hat size, it is usually a reliable assesment as to your helmet size too. Mine turned out ok ordering it without a test fit, but who knows...

But ya, I could probably use a hand with redoing my brake fluid, I think its pretty expensive to have it done at shops, I dont have big money to spend right now on repairs.
