theweiser1 Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Yasmin was out on 161 last night doing threshold braking drills in sandles Shawn, where's the tech form to download? Not seeing it or not looking hard enough one of the two. Nice! Its kinda buried. I asked Jason to make sure he includes the direct link in the schedule that he is very close to sending out! http://autointerests.com/sites/all/files/event/files/2013_autointerests_vehicle_prep_and_waiver_2.pdf There it is if you want to get a head start. Also unless something happens day of, I was successful in getting us into a 3 run group schedule! After talking to a lot of drivers and organizers we are going to go with 3 run groups with around 30 drivers per. We are going to have sessions from 8am - 11:30am then 12:30pm - 4:30pm and open track for the last 30 minutes. Official schedule is always subject to change but thats a sneak peak until its released! Thanks, Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 cool...we were ther 2 weeks ago and the top group had 34 cars, the next group down had 28 and traffic wasn't bad. We did open passing in instructor group which helps though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 As long as everyone keeps a good head on their shoulders and checks their mirrors then 30 per group isn't a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 nervous about what? the event? Yeah.. not entirely sure why. Probably just jitters due to it being a whole different level of risk/reward than what I've done in the past. I'm sure it won't be a big deal once I'm there.

theweiser1 Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 what happens if it rains? they are calling for rain right now for Monday. just wonder if there is a rain date, refund, or middle finger that we get? All of our events are rain or shine. Most if not all HPDE events are rain or shine. The track won't let us reschedule or give us a refund. Hopefully the weather clears up. I wouldn't worry about the weather report this far out. If it shows 100% chance of rain on Sunday then we should worry . Also while it isn't as much fun you learn a lot at an event when it rains. Its a different experience and a huge learning experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to let them know. I recommend early check in and tech if your able to make it during that time. It will make the morning of go smoothly. I will be there during that time dropping off the car. If you rented a garage they should be open and accessible as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I have heard that Mid Ohio will not let people out on the track if its raining, that is why i asked. Q: What happens if it rains? A: Typically events will continue even if it's raining or threatening rain. In certain instances races may be delayed, however it is very rare that an entire event is canceled due to inclement weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 The only time that Mid Ohio is going to stop people going on track is if the weather gets really rough and dangerous. I've personally driven there in snow (April track days are a crap shoot), fog, and rain without too much issue. Mid Ohio is pretty slick when wet, but it's also breezy up there and it usually dries very fast. Just dial things back and leave a little extra margin and you'll really enjoy yourself in the wet there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 you will learn the rain line really quick or go very slowly otherwise if it rains. Oh..and if it rains it's guaranteed you will have a streem of water running across the track between 2-3, more than likely exiting Keyhole right where you want to put power down AND in thunder valley. Mid Ohio is notorious for not being the grippiest track, it's slick as snot in the rain on the racing line. We ran in rain and snow in april...the track did get red flagged for a bit when the snow was heavy enough to cause visual issues but went back to green shortly after the snow stopped.

OrangeDot3083 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Mine are on the way... I'm actually mildly nervous about this. Not sure why.. I'll be out there instructing in my WRB 04 STi. As far as I know we instructors are not assigned to drivers. So if you want a coach that is in a similar car as yours let me know. So the oil has been changed and the Carbon fiber driveshaft is in. I just need the pads to show up and the rotors will be going on. Nothing like waiting till the last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Pads are here. No chamfers, no slots, nothing fancy. Just a block of pad material. Pretty business-like box too. Going to try and get them on the car and bedded tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
