I'm flattered rage but i by no means should be in the advanced....can you switch me up with 4 wheel drift?

Would anyone thats running care to have a co-pilot for a little while?

I went and watched at the last solo2 event and it looked really fun, I would really like to see how some more experienced drivers do, before I try to take my car on the track.

I'm ok with that if you guys are. I have spent some time on the track...definetly not as much as gary leadbetter or anyone like that but I'm not totally raw either.

I was thinking that we should do something similar to what rob did with the last tunerworks day. Were they had the instructors driving the beginners cars first to show them the lines and the had the beginners then drive with the instructors to make sure they are doing ok.

I think that it is a bad idea for most of the intermediate group that does not have a lot of full road course exp. and have them show the raw rookies around the track is not a very good idea...

I think that we need to show some restraint in the am and get everyone going safely... There was a crash at the last High Rollers meet on Sat. were a 911 crashed into a svt cobra cause the 911 was following to close and an SVT lost it in turn 2 and the 911 drove into him...

We do not want or need any of these types of mishaps.

Lets make sure everone and their cars are safe!

The instructors WILL be driving with all the rookies for at least a few laps for sure.

As for the instructors driving the cars, that will be a good idea for people who have not been on the road course.

As for riding someones ass and racing into the corners with someone or losing control too many times on the track, you may/will be warned or asked to leave, depending on severity if what has happened is deemed unsafe.

That's why the begiiners will be riding with either instructors or advanced folks.

For sure, that will be mentioned in the AM meeting. I suggest even the advanced group take it easy so the intermediate guys can follow. First runs, no top speed blasts down the front straight.

Please note the change in schedule. Starting a few minutes early.

The gates should be open at 8am

**The Raptor** · 08-01-2002, 05:02 PM

Are we meeting somewhere before we all head out to the Track?

**kevie88** · 08-01-2002, 08:13 PM

I think I'm excited.. Did an oil/tranny oil change today, valve adjust tomorrow afternoon and I'm good to go! I don't think I've been ready this far in advance of a track day in my life!

**rage2** · 08-01-2002, 09:13 PM

By the way, a few have emailed me this question. If it's light rain, we're going ahead. If it's moderate rain, we're rescheduling.

**kevie88** · 08-01-2002, 09:20 PM

Good plan.. the front straight is like ICE when it's wet, it's hard to believe it could be that slippery but it's NO JOKE.. absolutely deadly on the VHT.

We could meet somewhere to pickup water/snacks and coffee since I'll be super

**redline** · 08-02-2002, 09:02 AM

What about the mcdicks at riverbend or what area that is called right before the barlow over pass on deeroot?

**Fat Dave** · 08-02-2002, 01:43 PM

I don't know if there's any sort of "official waiting list" for track day, but I'm going to be out of the country from Saturday until Monday afternoon, so unfortunately I won't be able to attend.

So my spot will definitely be available.
