Wait so u can just show up on 5/15 and if you're one of the first 250 people you can race?

 

Last year it was sold out in advance. You must preregister if you want to get in (I didn't get in)

 

Unless you pre-reg, you most likely won't get in. I haven't received my form in the mail yet.. or I need to look through it again.

 

Oh okay. I'll probably end up coming but just watching.

 

It is pre-reg ONLY, there will be no reg at the site. You should do it if you can - it's quite fun.

Chris - you didn't get in last year with pre-reg or you tried on-site reg?

 

I asked to pre-reg about a week before and was told it was full

 

what club is running the event or is dual at de anza a club? Also, where can I register?

 

Whos all going? I dont see many on driver going.

 

There should be a good turn out of Zs and a few Gs, 510s, etc. There are usually some hoopty cars there as well, but always a good crowd. UFO sent out invites to UFO members. General reg should be coming - probably posted on the UFO website when they're ready.

 

Off to the SCCA practice day.......in the snow .

 

Autocrossing in temps of 32-33 degrees is not fun. That said I beat out Lee P in Strano's mustang by almost a full second for quickest raw time in a "car"....shifter carts/D-mods had us beat, though. It was a nice 75-80 second Lee P classic course.....great fun.

 

Son of a b......would have been 1st overall raw including d-mods without the cone clip.....not including the F125's of course.

 

Sounds like a good, but cold day. I autox'd on V710s last year and it was about 40 degrees. Suffice to say that grip was minimal.

Z stuff was quiet this weekend, minus a nice drive in the ZR, as we spent some time at Sears Point for the 24 Hours of Lemons.

 

Went and played with LPR PCA at Marina and had beautiful day. But I broke my car! LOL!

Incredibly fast course. They had a straight that I was doing 80 MPH in 3rd gear!

The bad news is I'm a pretty aggressive braker and I may have stomped too hard and discovered a weakness in the 370Z. I stretched the brake pedal return spring and that in turn made sensor think brakes where on which put car in limp mode. End of day for me as I couldn't figure out the issue until this morning.

The new coil-overs are awesome. I think they are a tad stiff in the front for AX. 1000 lb springs in front and 550 LB rears. I'm thinking 900 front and 600 rear will work better as dual purpose AX/Track setup. Will need to back off that for AXing. I was about 2 seconds off National Level SS GT3 car and driver that was running Hoosiers. My car was o street tire setup so I think on Hoosiers and 18 inch wheels the car may work OK. Will have fun playing in San Diego for sure!

I hear the BSP Boxster broke this weekend too. Stripped all teeth off pinion gear.

Scott, Did you see the Teletubbies? I hear they did well.

 

Mmmmmmm I have suspension! And camber!

Posted specs in the BSP Camber thread

 

Cool! Your car deserves that! Rather than getting creamed we will perhaps just be smacked in San Diego by the two turbos and the crazy Boxster.

 

Oh no, we'll still get creamed

 

I sure did! They looked pretty good. The Spin-n-Out BMW, formerly "Fed-UP Racing" was fast again and won. They won when we raced at Buttonwillow, too.

 

We can at least have our own little Z car race! Should be tons of fun. Evan is pretty quick so we will see how he adapts to my car.

I just got confirmation this weekend that I will get to co-drive my old FP Boxster at nationals this year. So I will have my AX ride set for my first ever Nationals event. I'm really stoked about that as I dont think I'm going to make my Z competitive in BSP by that time.

 

Check out the course from this weekend.
