Bay Area/ NorCal Head Count

[Gitter Dun]

I'm driving with the Nor Cal Shelby Club. It's a driving school and open track weekend. This year's driving school will be focusing on Autocross, and I'm signed up for the class this year.

As for trying a NASA event, I might be up for a driving school or open track event, but I don't think I'd enter any real racing events with my current car. Also, considering all the mods I've done to my car, I'm not sure if all the changes will pass NASA's specifications. Is there place where I could learn more about the specifics regarding car modifications (i didn't see anything when I scanned the NASA website)?

Joining NASA is a fun experience. They have a run group called HPDE, (high performance driving experiance). In HPDE there are 4 levels, 1,2,3,&4. Level 1 you ride with an instructor in your car and they show you the racing line on the track, level 2 you run on your own but no passing, level 3 is limited passing, and level 4 is balls out. It,s $45 for one year membership then you have to pay $159 a track day and you get 4 20 minute sessions on the track. It would be great to see guys from this site at the events.

Do you participate in HPDEs or do you competitively drive your car with NASA?

I run Time Trials, one step above HPDE 4. If you like running your car on a road course it's way worth it and everybody involved is really cool. I must warn you tho, IT'S ADDICTING!!!!!!! LOL

Elio's address is:
260 Floresta Boulevard
San Leandro, CA 94578
-It's not too far from the I-880 & Hwy 238 junction.

Let me know if yer interested.

Any of you East Bay folks interested in meeting at this season's premiere Elio's Cruise-In next Thursday in San Leandro?

As long as the weather is clear, I'll probably be there. Since this is the first cruise-in of the year, there might be a decent crowd. Usually, there is a wide range of cars... mostly hot rods and muscle cars, but sometimes there are a few exotics too. It'd be great to have some pro-touring cars there!

Mike,

I went with my wife and kids so it more a family day and i didn't get to really meet anyone new.

As for tonights San Leandro meet I have to get my car back together to hope I can take it on Sat. to the Chevelle meet in Sac. I have some new parts I need to kill the car for a couple weeks to install but I will have my new wheels in 5-6 weeks and for sure my target is to be ready to slap them on and be driving it for the rest of the summer. So I will have to see about catching a ride in a Buddy's car one of the meets.

Don't forget about Danville happening out this way in July/August time, can't remember for sure the dates I have to look.

[Nick.V70]

Hey guys any spots that will be coming up to take cars out to? I know Danville is this coming Thur but my car will not be back on the road. Anything other than Good Guys at the end of Aug?

[DartorDemon]

New here from Vacaville, home to absolutely nothing of interest.

Nick, did you go to the Danville show last week? I stopped by real quick like and had to jet...

I will be at the Aug 26 show there for sure... hopefully with a muscle car ;)t

[garner67]

Anyone with a weekday off interested in doing one of the Goodguys Hot Rod Week cruises?

There's a cruise/tour Mon-Thurs (8/23-26). I probably wouldn't drive on the Sacramento day, but one of the other days sound good.

No we took off that morning for Pismo. Car is still waiting on the C/A Fab9 and rear suspenion kit, they still have not called to say the axle is done....I hope this week. My plan is to get to drive the piss out of it the 26 and into the weekend. I may even not work the following week to keep driving it I am going threw withdraws over here. I have to walk right by it to my office at work. We need to hook up even if we don't have cars that night.

If my car rolls I am open to making one of those. I had never heard they did that, pretty cool. Thanks for the link.

Wanted to let everyone know this Saturday is the annual Napa Main Street Reunion. There will be over 400 pre 76 cars in downtown Napa. Great venue to come check out some beautiful rides, great restaurants and several watering holes...starts at 10:00

[mdprovee]

I have signed up for this one, and now I just need to clean it up from the autocross this weekend.

[bullitt4110]

I'm in Fairfield, my car is still a good amount of work away before it's anything again though. My goal is to be drivable by next summer, then body and paint.
