yeah there are signs everywhere for the BART station. I might be leaving with you guys from ZCG because I just found out that helmet city is an internet company meaning no chance to get a helmet there.

Darn i should have bought the one i had in my hand today at dirt rider in san jose.

Talked to Rob today and we're all shooting to leave promptly at 1pm. So we'll either see you at ZCG or we'll meet you at Ygnacio Valley BART with Dave and John at 2pm.

Yes, Lou is going to T-hill. For anyone that needs a helmet, I just found out that Bell helmets are located in Oakland at3227 14th Ave., Oakland, CA.

If I don't drive up tonight, I will drive up early tomorrow morning. See everyone there!

That place is a ***** to find!

If anyone plans on going there... 14th turns into another street once you pass the freeway onramp. So you'll be looking for the address and suddenly you're not on 14th anymore!

To get there, go up 14th, a block before the freeway onramp, the road forks, stay to the right. The fork is right before a gas station. The Bell store is immediately to your left. It's a tiny sign, so keep your eyes open.

The rain was coming down a lot harder than I expected, but still a very fun event. I hope everyone made it home ok.

Here's the one decent pic I took during the trip...

Glad you had fun. Too bad it rained all day. That's the most rain I've ever seen at a track event. The first couple of sessions were extremely slick. But the last session turned out to be semi dry and the skid pad was a blast.
You'll definitely have to come when it's dry, it's a totally different experience. But the wet driving is good too. You learn a great deal about your car since everything is magnified.

I like that pic I think I'm going to borrow it

I had a great time. I am one of those people that actually enjoys driving in the rain.
The skid pad was a blast too (when failsafe let other people have a turn ).

Most of that time was spent pulling cones out from under my car and placing them back on the skidpad

I was one of those last minute add-on's and I must say it was worth it, even with all that rain. Failsafe, are you the one with the silverstone Z, cf front lip, and w/bronze wheels drifting all over that skidpad? If so, that was cool to watch.

Now I got to go clean off all that mud in my mat after tracking it into the car. That was some slippery mud out there!
