Good to hear from you again Alan.
Nah, the class is for Speedtrials on Sunday, you have to be allowed to participate on Sunday by attending class Saturday afternoon. But, it seems that there are no speedtrial events scheduled this summer... I'm assuming problems w/ Metrozoo on Sundays, who knows. They were fun to watch anyways, all the freaks w/ their 911's & Vipers & M3's taking laps... very cool. Saturday's not bad either tho, check the entry lists on their homepage to see who went last year. I think I'll be running, my dad's getting all into it, so I'll be charging him for my new tires & such to let him drive it
I'm sure there are a million people here who will tell you what you need to do to get ready for this & get great times. Me personally, i just do it to have fun & throw the car around & not get a ticket. The basics to have/do would be:
Get everything out of your car.
Check your fluids & brakes.
Put about 40lbs in the front & 36lbs in the rear tires the night before.
Bring something to drink (unless you want to spend mad $$).
Bring sunblock.
Bring whiteshoepolish / tape / sticker / anything to put your # & class designation on your car. You get whatever # you want unless its taken, classes are split up early in the morning. Everybody always forgets the shoepolish.
I'm usually too lazy to get there at 7. I arrive about 8:30-9ish and its cool, but you should have a # picked out before you get there & have your $30 in hand. You just won't be able to walk the track before we start, which will suck for you b/c your first runs will be sloppy until you memorize the track. Just have fun & don't worry about times just yet. Which car are you bringing?
