I have never been there, but I have heard that it is based on how many cars are there. If there are not a lot you can do many many runs. Maybe they mean you are guaranteed 3 runs on a busy day. Should someone call?

 

I guess I will give them a call...

 

I just called and got an answering machine. No real info and no option to talk to a real person. I guess I will try again later.

 

just heard that one of the VP at work might be bringing his toy to this event... maybe I'll come out after all

he's been having a charity event at work these past two days...
get your picture taken with donation to 2nd harvest with your choice of
Enzo
Mclaren
or the el cheapo
murcielago

man, I guess people are still getting paid well at work... all except me...

 

Yes, you should come on up. Tell the VP I will take a picture of him next to my Z for a very modest fee which I will pass on to the Home for Unwed Mothers.

 

You're awesome Walt. That is so random and funny as hell.

 

Bill and I will meet you guys up there around 10.
Looks like most of the other north bay group are busy. Bringing my helmet!

 

East Bay: Walnut Creek BART station. 8:00-8:15

see you tomorrow. don't forget your helmet.

 

REMINDER: South Bay Meet Point is ZCG. They will be leaving at 7:30am to meet up with the East Bay people at Walnut Creek BART.

 

Helmet???? I need a helmet for this stuff??? OK, well I wish I had known this earlier. Maybe I'll buy one tonight at the shop.

If they are leaving from San Jose at 7:30, it will take them about 1 hour to get to Walnut Creek. Shouldn't we push back the east bay meet point to 8:30?

 

It doesn't take me an hour. Anyway... 8:15 or 8:30, big difference... just be there.

scubasteve - you only need a helmet if you plan on running 13's or lower. At least that is the standard at some other tracks. I wouldn't go out and buy a helmet just for this event.

 

Well, I guess I'm not in the "club" then Not yet at least.....wait until early next year when my little projext commences!!! Anyway, I need to buy a helmet for the next three track events I have planned through Jan.

Thanks for the info!!!!
-Steve

I guess I should meet you guys there around 10 then?

 

Sounds good. See you there!

 

You only need a helmet if you think you are going to be faster than 14 seconds in the quarter. Looking at your mods that is a possiblity. If you haven't drag raced on a strip before then you might not. You can use mine if you don't mind flames and a propeller on the top.

 

I think I am going to go out tonight and practice my starts on some desolite road. I feel comfortable with shifting, but the starting while revving at 2k I have never done. I zip around town a bit, just not officially. I'm sure that you will have some great advice. I should probably invest in a helmet with 3 track events coming up that I am hopefully attending. I don't know if my SAFC will be ready, but I don't have a logger so it would be pointless to try and tune it there.

It is a lot easier to launch on the street than it is at the strip.(that's what makes it fun!) see you there. Walt

 

Walt:

Go to bed! You have a big race tomorrow!!!

j/k

 

I learned this in an interesting way

 

I wish I had thought of taking my seats, owners manual, spare, tools etc. out I think I might have done better.

Had a great time with the Z guys and Donna the queen of burnouts. Donna could easily win a NOPI burnout contest!!!

Very happy with my last run of 13.903...almost a 13.8. Thanks Lou for the diff swap.
