We have 10 now. If I get two more I will close the group. There will be one WRX running at with the group.

I CAN'T WAIT! I am so excited! This is my first track day since moving to Texas.

 

Oh, also, don't forget that there's a DFW G35 Owners Club meet that Saturday (June 25th) and you ALL are invited. For details, visit http://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52535

 

What does this mean? What determines our Group number?

 

You folks will be group 2, you will have the chance to do the skid pad!

 

There will be two groups of drivers using the track on Monday June 27. We alternate use of the track and are group 2. So the Z's, 1 G and 1 WRX get to be on the track at the same time.

 

thanks, but what's the skid pad used for?

 

It is the most helpful thing you can do it you are new to a track day. It will teach you how your car acts in a slide. You will quickly learn how to correct this on the skid pad. If you get into a slide it is better to have practice and not panic to rely on.

 

GREAT! I'm not new to road racing, but the track in Cali that I drove did not have a skid pad (Big Willow and CalSpdWay). Speaking of CalSpdWay, it's was too bad to hear about the Carerra GT that crashed there last week. Both occupants were killed. Def a sobering event. Where he crashed, I was going 140mph!

 

We are full up now. Look forward to seeing everyone there at 8:30 sharp....

MotorSport Ranch
9012 Performance Court
Cresson TX, 76035

 

So, what's the policy regarding spectators? I'd sure like to drop by and watch the Zs on the track!

 

Come on out!

 

We will have CG-Locks you can try an buy if you like.

Price is $35 cash.

See you Monday.

John

 

25 hours to go.

Things to remember.

Sunscreen, sun glasses, hat
water, water, water, WATER!!
You must wear long pants. You can change in the club house for the lunch hour if you would like.

Bring an open mind and leave your pride at home. I still spend lots of time off the track. Part of a learning environment.

When you get to the track my instructors will be doing pre-track setup. Please allow them to do this.

John Barrentine or Brian Whitehead will be there to show you where the lift and air are.

Be in the classroom at 9:00!! In the morning the schedule is not flexible and you need to make sure you are where you group is on time.

If you want to try and possibly buy a CG-Lock please bring $35 cash.


Be prepared to have a great time!

John

 

Thanks to everyone that came out! Hope to see you all again.

Our next track day is July 25th. We will run the track clockwise. The is opposite from what you did yesterday.

 

And speaking as a "non driver" (envious spectator!), I'd liker to thank those drivers who welcomed me to watch their great fun on the track and talked with me about their day's experience... It was a great way to spend a few minutes and really made me want to get "back on the track" someday.

Cheers to all,

Rob (the old guy with the Daytona Blue Z and the long[ish] hair)

 

Glad you enjoyed it....next time you will have to get out there with us.

Thanks to everyone for coming out. I had a great time as I think everyone did.

I have thrown together a little in-car video and posted it to my web site. Beware it is 20MB http://www.maxground.com/motorsport_ranch.htm

 

I just reviewed the tape. If you got passed by Warren do not feel bad he has a real good line around the track.

I did see some of you that were not using the whole track. If you watch the cars out front they may not be hitting all the APEX cones. It is like connecting the dots.

Yes I did catch Warren's three car pass on the second strait. Shame on you Warren.

 

I couldn't dl it...was I in there at all?

 

We were never on the track together till the end when I was behind Renee and she was behind you. I started over 30 seconds behind Renee and had to pass one Z to catch up to the two of you. When I finally did my transmission got too hot and went into 4th gear for good. I doubt I could have passed you with that supercharger advantage. I was quicker in the corners, but that comes from experience.

My new B&M transmission cooler arrived today from Summit Racing.
