You guys going to be driving at reasonable speeds?
I may join ya since I don't want to get lost.
What do these control exercises entail? No jumpin' jacks right?
Still gotta get magnetic #'s too.

Ed- we'll be driving at a reasonable pace- no need to get pulled over before we even get to the track. I think Yuichi or Dave can comment on the control exercises a bit better than I can. But my understanding is that they will set up some cones in the paddock area of the track to practice various driving skills.

So should we add your name as the fourth for the Friday caravan?

Anyone bringing some tools up? I'm planning to bring some basic tools, jack, and air pump to the track with me just in case.
I'll be leaving on Friday night around 7PM. I rather spent money for the hotel for Fri night than waking up 4 in the morning. Anyone wants to caravan up on Friday night?

I have a rather large head as well. Confirmed by the XL on my new helmet

So are there only four that are for sure for Friday morning?

1. Whatever
2. LeMansZCA
3. Failsafe
4. 350ed
5. Yuichi (maybe)

Anyone else? Bueller?

Not sure if I'll make the caravan. Car is going to nissan I just hope they can get my tranny in on time

I don't think Dave posted but the controled exercises, they basically set up the cones on the huge open pavement and just make sure you do the basics.

If you guys don't get helmets in time the front office rents out helmets.. I think its about 15 to 20 to rent one from the thunderhill office.

hopefully everything will come together..Zya guys there! And pray for no RAIN!!!

I heard the storm is a small one and may be completely pushed through by Sat morning.

I say we meet at Mission as planned, try to get there a little early (say 8:45). We'll leave as soon as everyone is there and then see if we can make it to Fremont to meet the clubZ guys. If not we'll only be a few minutes behind and catch them on the freeway.

Here is the list of people I know are for sure:
1. Whatever (and maybe his bro?)
2. failsaf3
3. LemansZCa
4. 350ed

If you are not on the list and plan to meet us speak up so we can wait for you.

I'll post on clubZ.org and let them know we'll try to meet them.

Just saw this thread, need to check this thread more often.

Also Thunder Hill rents a Mobile Dyno Jet, a little late in on this thread but that would of been cool. Only catch is someone needs to pay $250.00 to go to a Dyno Jet class and be certified to run the Dyno, then everyone can dyno. Next time I guess, I may go spectate that would be cool, never been there.
