SoCal: Time attack tuesdays

[Nessumsar]

The parade laps were just to get every driver on the course and somewhat familiar with the layout(much like walking the course).

For the practice runs what I was suggesting is each run group consisting of 10 cars gets a half hour to practice. 3-4 cars on the track at all times with say 3-4 laps at a time. You make your 3-4 laps and then pull back around into the pits. The down time between runs will only be a few minutes so you'll stay fresh. That should give each driver a good 10-15 practice laps.

The main reason why I wouldn't want to do it this way for the official timed runs is because run group #1 will be on a hot track at midday whereas group #5 will end up running at 4:00 or possibly later as the track and ambient temps will have cooled.

Ok, I smell what you're cooking.

Jason, 100 bucks for a day of racing is great---passengers would be welcomed I assume? That is also a big selling point---50 cars sounds right for the count as well. If you could get the IN-N-Out truck to come, now we are talking-----

Good call on the In-N-Out truck.

I agree that passengers should be allowed. We should probably be selective on who is allowed in the pits(for safety reasons). Something like the wristbands they had on Tuesday but for crew members and media only.

I still haven't seen the e-mail, if I don't have anything by 4:00 I'll call again.

BTW: Sal just caught me typing away on here and he asked what I was up to. I told him and he had some cool things to say. I won't divuldge specifics just yet but this could shape up to be a great event.

[Nessumsar]

<-- Excited!

[79-TA]

So it's pretty awesome that the TCI guys are looking to set up a day long event.


Who's up for going again on the 10th?

[TCI Engineering]

<-- Excited!

^^^yeah that


Especially if this happens in the Fall so we have time to finish Sal's Nova.

-Jason

[Nessumsar]

Uh oh, Another Nova to play with!

Now I just have to get a smaller Patrick Swayze to tame my understeer.

[-The Stig-]

Man, a day at Adams would just kill my tires...



I'm all for it. :P

[TCI Engineering]

Uh oh, Another Nova to play with!

Must... get... sway... bar... can... not... lose...

Nothing against the Camaros but we need some variety.

LOL---I would have to agree with that as well--

[Nessumsar]

What does Sal have done to his Nova?

[TCI Engineering]

LOL---I would have to agree with that as well--

Hopefully we'll be 3 cars strong by the Fall.



A little teaser......

[-The Stig-]

What does Sal have done to his Nova?

More than you can afford, Pal... Ferrari.... vrrrooom!


Sorry, couldn't help it... I'm sure all his bitchin bolt ons to make it Uber Fantasticle.

[TCI Engineering]

What does Sal have done to his Nova?

It is basically just a shell right now. By the Fall it should have our Torque Arm and new P/T front suspension and a new driveline.


This picture was taken about two months ago. It is actually in worse shape now since the front and suspension that is in the picture is now a display for the shows.



-Jason

[TCI Engineering]

Damn!! I guess I waited too long. All the people with answers @ Adam's have already gone home so I'll have to call back in the morning.

A big Thank You to the TCI guys for looking into the renta track possibilities!!!!!

I agree variety in cars would be great (coming from a Red Camaro owner ha ha ha).

I love Sal's Camaro, I just don't like him making me look bad :p

I wouldn't worry about him making you look bad. I used to get your cars confused at first and thought you were really fast

LOL man---that was brutal Matt---LOL.

[Matt@BOS]

Yeah, you're right. Let me revise that statement, there are so many people whose cars are faster than me, sometimes it gets difficult to tell them all apart.
