Reno Fernley Track Day Oct 22-23 - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

MattR · 2005-09-09, 11:10 AM

Looks like a racing group called TEAM will have a PDE on Oct 22-23. Details here with more to come soon. This could be cool.

MattR · 2005-09-13, 07:01 PM

Here is a link to sign up for this event. Looks like it will be primarily a NorCal Evo and TEAM(Miata) track day. Whom I have never run with, but from what I am reading, they seem like a good, well run group. link to TEAM

I'm not sure on this one yet, it could be a good time though.Here is the thread on NORCAL EVO

Bonster · 2005-09-13, 07:48 PM

Thank you Matt for posting about our event (with T.E.A.M. Racing). Thought I would include a few details. The website's actual URL is at http://www.team-racing.org (Matt referenced the URL for the actual registration form). The RFR event runs $175 for one day, $325 for both days. The event includes morning coffee service, a supply of Gatorade and bottled water, catered lunches, snacks, instruction, and at least two hours of track time PER DAY.

Details are at the website URL, or contact us at teamracing@weatherwax.net any time. We'd love to have you all out! There is a special $10 off for one day, $25 off for two days going on until September 20th if you can make it in. Please do not hesitate to ask questions or voice concerns . . . that's what we're here for!

Thank You for stopping in, hopefully a few of us can make it out there.

Will the new section be done by then?

***When I last spoke to track manager, Jeremy Cable, on Saturday (September 10th), he did not think that they would have it done by then. They are only this week beginning the paving process. Then they have to rigorously test it for safety issues, etc.. But I will gladly keep you all posted on it. At this point, we will be running the 2.4 miler in the CCW (start-finish on driver's right) fashion. I do look forward to the 'technical' addition to the track . . . but we'll have more events out there, so no worries. We will run the 4-mile as soon as it is available, presuming that's what everybody wants. Meanwhile, just by us being there and renting the track will ensure a more speedy completion date -- this stuff does cost money, lol.

I hope you'll join us no matter what Pat . . . it is a great track even at its current configuration (I was just there last month instructing for the Corvette Club -- it was a BLAST).

Can convertibles run? Pat has an S2000 with stock set up, no roll bar.

Pat R. · 2005-09-13, 08:22 PM

Thanks Bonni, I will probably sign up for this event either way. Am I correct to assume that since this event is associated with team miata that open top cars (S2000) are cool with factory roll bars?

edit: Slow fingers, Matt has my six covered.

MattR · 2005-09-13, 08:29 PM

I think I will plan on this event too. Should be a good time. I expect that some of the participants will be familiar from the trackmasters event.

Pat R. · 2005-09-13, 08:34 PM

The convertable question may not matter since I should have something with a cage and a V8 by then though...

***Typically, S2000s already have structural rollover protection. Please list the year of the car and I will double-check with the local Honda dealers. Chances are, you're good to go. Pat mentioned the factory stock rollbars that S2000s came with -- which has as far as I know always been sufficeinent protection. They have structural hoop-like bars behind driver and pax seats. Honda is a smart company -- they aren't about to install a style bar.

Send a pic of your car with the driver side door open to reinsure, and I'll call Honda / Acura to be sure. 99% says, it's a done deal.

***BTW . . . T.E.A.M. Racing and Team Miata are two very different entities. We are friends, but in no way associated with one another. So no, open top cars are not legal unless they have OEM structural rollover protection or an aftermarket rollbar. Please send pics if you are worried that your car might not be do-able. Most cars actually are.

Bonster · 2005-09-17, 02:01 PM

So hey folks . . . where are all these sign-ups?

The track wants a deposit 30 days before the event . . . so that means I'll need to send in a couple grand by this Thursday. ACK!

BW

MattR · 2005-09-18, 07:23 PM

Okay Bonster, I will register for the event this week, as will a few others, we talked about it today. So look for us later this week.

Bonster · 2005-09-18, 07:53 PM

THANKS MATT!!! I can sleep better now . . .seriously . . . I LOVE putting on events, but there's always that concern that I won't get enough entries. NO, I don't do this for profit, I do this for FUN. Maybe that's why our prices are below the rest? I just love to play and watch others do the same. THANKS again Matt for the reassurance. ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz............. lol.

Evo Mike · 2005-09-19, 08:11 PM

holy crap 375$ for the weekend! damn! i dun got the money for that right now dudes.. sigh.. but i'll come out to watch for sure.. should be an awesome time.

doubleurx · 2005-09-19, 08:15 PM

I am moving my office during the month of mid October / November, so I may need this to keep the sanity. I'll check with the boss. Anyone else going?

MattR · 2005-09-19, 08:38 PM

I will be going. I hope Mike K, Eric, Scott and others will be there too......The usual SECCS track whore crew.

**Silly goose! It's 325 for the weekend -- fifty bucks less. But if you were to come to a California track, 375 would actually be cheap. Lol. And yes, it WILL be an awesome time. 325, believe you me, is CHEAP.
