TURBOED Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 If you don't need to change tires or anything, 7 am could be a little early. You'll definitely want to get there early enough to check in, get your car in order (remove spare tire and other junk, put numbers on, etc) and walk the course a few times by yourself. Probably 7:45 to 8:00 would be perfectly fine. I usually show up as early as I can, as I would rather have too much time, then be rushed. Edit - I usually have a duffel bag full of stuff (clothing options for the day, some food, sunscreen, etc). Since it will be raining, you may want to bring a large trash bag to keep things like a duffel bag dry while you are running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will almost certainly make a mess. Use painter's tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TURBOED Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 are we even going to need numbers for the drivers school? its not for poiints or anything. By the looks of the pics from last years driver school, no, we won't need numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 You shouldn't need numbers but it won't hurt to have them. side note: I started a new thread in the Passing Lane about Cooper Stadium being sold today which very well could affect us, but it looks promising.

hot_wire Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I thought the school was at the ackerman lot? Which btw is where on ackerman? You're correct. The OVR just has some other events planned at the Coop. The buckeye lots are located at the intersection of 315 and Ackerman. You can see the lots from the highway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Andrew, what ^ he said. You can't miss it if going north on 315, it's right against the freeway at Ackerman rd. I only mentioned Cooper because it is one of the primary places we race and it will affect us. As of this year it won't mean anything yet.

Buckeye Bullitt Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Not to bring it up or anything but for future reference, if we had really crappy weather and an event was canceled where would it be posted?

Dr. Apex Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Matt, as soon as possible they would update it on the SCCA site and once they know if/when it can be rescheduled.

Chief8one Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Packing the car up and staying the night in C-bus tonight. I believe a few of us maybe going to H00ters later on.

Dr. Apex Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Fanfukintastic today!! Weather was perfect!! Good track and good times. AJ, your doing damn good so far, some fine tuning and you'll be really moving. Joe, DSP or SM and you've got some tough competition, you could really use a 2.5l, really smooth driving though. Gray, not being mean but I though I'd see more from the Duster today. Were you having any issues? I was surprised I beat your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TURBOED Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Yeah, awesome course today. Definitely suited the miata a lot more than PE#1. My first two runs were decent, then my last three I dropped about a second each time. I know one or two more runs could have easily brought me into the 42's or lower. Oh well, at least I'm seeing improvement. Grayson, you owe me a $2 tire pressure gauge, haha. I completely forgot about it until I was in the grid.
