Yay. But all those dancing bananas....I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

[MattR]

Does this mean we can have the paddock in the actual paddock and a roomy grid? Excellent Pat, very excited...

Pat:

In your announcement you said:

"This will be a great way to have all your friends & family come out and watch ..."

OK, so what's the good news:lol:?

All seriousness aside, looking forward to another great course design!

Also, take a moment to cruise on over to the Pictures section...I posted a link to the photos son Matt took on Sunday, 8/23 at RFR.

Hello, I was turned on to these events by a member of the track staff at one of the recent drag race events at RFR. I thick it could be alot of fun and its more geared toward my car than the drag strip.

I was interested in going to the Sept 19th event. Do you need anything special (club license or such)? I see the meeting is at 8:45, do you need to tech before hand? If so what is a good arrival time? Sorry for all the questions. Hope to see you at the track.

[Kevin M]

If you arrive by 8 AM, you should have enough time to register, go through tech, and walk the course, but of course earlier is always better.

[solonut]

Hi Tim and welcome....it was me you talked to...I.m the event chair for this weekend...please be there before 8am to get through reg,tech and time to walk the course...walking the course is how we learn the course....once you do this you will be hooked....see yu Sat am....Pat

[solonut]

course set-up will be at 12:30 Friday afternoon as the track will be active in the am...I can use all the help I can get as we have to have it all done before 5pm as the drags start then....thanks for all the help....Pat

[Timothy5509]

Thanks for the answers. One more question and I will try to stop hi-jacking your thread. As I am new to this, is there a place you would recommend for a cheap helmet?

[van]

Summit racing in Sparks, $100 gets you a gforce open face. You can get a club loaner for free.

[zpeed]

Any motorcycle shop, make sure you LOOK inside the helmet for SNELL 00 or higher.

[Timothy5509]

Thanks guys. I think I might just go with the loaner this weekend. Then I will have more time to look for on that I like. See you at the track.:)

[S2kreno]

Got mine $50 on Ebay from a place in Roseville cuz my $700 full face motorcycle helmet was rated in the EU and couldn't be used.

[solonut]

course is all ready....hope to all of you in the am....make sure you have plenty of fuel....course is long and no gas stations & no potty stops....;)

[Dean]

Results? We want results... :)

It is so much easier to whine about results when you no longer have anything to do with timing. :)

[Timothy5509]

From what I saw Saturday, 30% of the runs were DNFs. :rolleyes:

Yea, I would like to see the results too. See how badly I did against some of the other novices out there.

[solonut]

I would like thank all who helped over the weekend...we had a low turn out...which means some people stepped up and did double duty...A few who didnt run worked acouple of run groups....
and a big thanks for al who came out for the challenge....
Now time to focus on the next event @ Truckee airport....

[S2kreno]

Boogers, wish I'd been able to make it, saw the pics, looked fun.

[Timothy5509]

Thanks for a great first event. I will be sure to make it to atleast one of the remaining weekends.

You are all a friendly bunch of people, provided me with tips and encouragement all day. I look forward to the next event I am at.
