Looks like SCCA has thier Time Trials schedule up:

http://nwr-scca.org/timetrials/Schedule.htm

Looks like all except for two will be at Bremerton.

 

I've got an HPDE scheduled for April 29th out at Pacific Raceways if anyone else wants to join in that has the prereqs down for proformance racing. Always more fun to do it in groups.

 

have a link to it? (I tried searching and got a handful of hits in the area...wasn't sure which one it is)

 

Oh dude! Did you think it was on the 29th?!? It was today! We were wondering where you were.

 

Huh? One today? lawl -- I'm only partially paying attention to anything these days. However, the one on April 29th is a full day HPDE that I signed up for a month or so ago.

See here: http://www.proformanceracingschool.com/

and then here: http://www.proformanceracingschool.com/schedule.html

Looks like there are still 10 open slots. $260 for the day, $125 for coaching slots. I think I'll skip the coaching this time -- I've got a lot to work on in just consistency, but it will be the first time on track with the StopTech's, so I have high hopes of improving especially in 3a/b.

 

lol...sorrry dude... it's been a slow day and I haven't been able to come up w/ a decent joke to pull on anyone all day. This was obviously no exception. Well... the day's not over yet... I'm still hoping I can pull a fast-one on the misses.

I think I might be interest in Proformance or the Alfa day on the 24th... but first...First350 and I have something to take care of next weekend. If my car survives I'll sign up for one of the events.

 

$260 is too high..........will wait for something else.....was gonna do the Alfa day on 4/24 but I just bought a shifter kart so all money is going into that right now to get it ready for race season......Stop Techs will help as 3a is all about how big your ***** are on the brakes!

 

<sigh> Everything is going up. I did one last year for 180 then a couple of others for like 220. Price increases due to insurance increases for renting the track. About 50% of the time I'm out there, some poor fool decides to test one of the cement barriers. Fortunately I've yet to see a 2 car collision, but I've seen plenty of the other.

 

yeah..most of the clubs that run PIR have gone up too...just did a Team Continental day earlier this month at PIR, only $179.....I think the Alfa days at PR are $200......

 

Let me know when your season starts...I've been kicking around the idea of getting a shifter kart and running one of their series - what'd ya get, a 125cc shifter?

 

yeah, picked up a 07 Trackmagic.......taking it to Canby this weekend to dial it in......plan on runing spec CR125 class once I get some seat time....check out these two sites for info....

they don't have the 08 schedule yet for Monroe but rumor is they are building a kart only facility close the fairgrounds and trying to get it done by fall...

 

nice! I had been thinking of getting the same thing and running w/ http://www.psgka.com/ . they have their own track, and practice time is free!

maybe at some point I can tag along at one of your practices or events...I'd want to see more and hopefully hop into a kart or 2 before laying down the $$ for a new one. G'luck this yr!

 

so I swapped tires (Tire rack let me change tires w/out penalty!)

Hoosier A6:
Front: 295/18
Rear: 315/18

I just took them out last night on some empty streets to heat cycle / scrub them in...massive amounts of traction! (Only downside is knowing that I don't have the skills as of yet to fully use them ...but it'll be fun trying )

 

You got 315s on an enkei on the rear? Did you roll yer fenders? I've got the same rims for my track rims too, but have just been sticking with 275's all the way round. Need 5mm spacers up front to clear the 275s but...

 

yeah..that's the one in Spanaway...I haven't been out there but the guy I bought my chassis from was bitching about it for some reason....

I wouldn't buy a new chassis to start with......I bought mine used..only had a few races on it........

I'll post up next time I go out if you want to check it out.....

 

rolled fenders in the rear, running a 10mm spacer back there too, and a 15mm spacer up front.

 

I was thinking the same thing (used chasis to start) - it'd be great to see you run...either post it here or PM me.

thanks!

 

what no autoX news in here

 

Didn't you hear the news? As of last month AutoX died in Western WA. Rumor is it has something to do w/ an STi spinning out while on course and scaring the cr@p out of Jim McNerney.

 

+1..it's always a shock to the system when you see a riced Box car (Huge wing/hood scoop) trying to autoX - so much body roll!

*Maybe McNerney thought it was a broken plane?? With a wing that big, it could be mistaken for a 747 !
