Stacy, I've been out-of-pocket for a long time... finally signed up to instruct today - hopefully you can fit me in since I know that my boss is hoping to have me as his instructor.

 

John great to hear from you!! There was speculation you'd fallen off the face of the planet, glad to see not... weeding through some emails today... I see yours, and will reply shortly.

I think we picked up three more instructors (including you) over the last couple days, and frankly, I'll be closing registration for all sometime today. We're actually a little over-booked as far as instructors go... which I guess is a good thing

 

Sharif... sorry I missed this post...

On VIR Full course, we have limited cars to about 35 per run group, give or take 3-5 depending on experience level and track layout. Obviously, smaller tracks, fewer cars on track at a time. Our insurance max is 15 cars per mile... but we usually only do about 10 per mile

 

Yeah, I did fall of the face of the earth, mainly because I was supposed to relocate to the left coast, and after repeated lures, it never happened. Then I considered a move to a different company - and well, I decided to stay.

Good to hear I squeaked in - hopefully the weather will hold out for the remainder of the winter and we'll have a mild season-opener... I sent you an email last night about helmet - have a look at it when you have a chance.

 

Hopefully we are getting the snow out of system today and Sunday

 

Hey John, glad to see you post again. We definately need to catch up. Have fun at VIR. I will at Robling Road this weekend, but I am sure I'll be at the next VIR event with you all.

 

Awesome, I've never seen your beast in action... see you in a few weeks!

J, who better get off his *** and fix his car...

 

Sharif - have fun at Roebling Road (RR), they have a new surface and with your power levels just make sure that on the last turn (some call it 8 and some call it 9) if you put a wheel off - drive straight off! If you don't - brace for a major impact with the pit wall! I saw a C5 do that last year.
I bet you hit your rev limiter befor the braking zone of turn 1 (only real braking zone on the whole track). Great track - yet on the back part - if you screw up one turn it takes 3 to 4 turns to get back on the racing line. And the next to last turn (7) is off camber on the outside of the track, so enter that turn at mid track.
I remember that the guys at Triangle Z club had a great write up on how to drive the track properly. Ask them for a copy before showing up.

 

Psyche! (viva le early 90s)

I recant my previous statement of staying east-side... as of today it's official, I'm leaving the right coast and moving west. This event will be my last in the area for a long time (CA tracksters beware!)...

 

Oh NO you Dih 'ehn!!

Glad we'll be able to give you a good send-off!! Let's just hope... well, you know!!

So where are you moving? What tracks will you be near?

 

Are you comming to northern or southeren Calif.? If North, we have a very active NASA TT group. I also race with a small non contact group called Checkered falg Racing Assoc.

Hope to see you at our activities. The season is just about to restart mid Feb.

I'm going to be in San Diego, but will be towing up to some of the NorCal tracks at some point this year.

 

Less than a week to get your cars ready! I know mine's not!

Replaced my hubs and brake fluid this weekend... still waiting on some parts for the suspension and I need to get some tires...

 

I think this weekend has snuck up on a lot of people... myself included

 

I sure hope it warms up for the weekend...

 

Ready...what is this ready you speak of?

Heck, I may have the strangest combination of tires used at a TZC weekend.

 

How many Z cars are registered?

 

Anybody want a Z hitch fabricated by roark? I plan on removing mine - so if anybody wants to take it off for me this weekend, you're entitled to it at a very reasonable price.

 

Looks like 24.

 

That looks about right... all models except for 280ZX (which is usual)

As a matter of fact... there may be a couple slots that have opened up if anyone is still interested (I need to know, like today though)

Weather is looking up
