see ya

[STIwish]

How far is it from Reno and in what direction?

[MattR]

Its about 5 miles north of town. Very close. you should come...

[ArthurS]

I am there this time for sure. I will hopefully get my sway bar and hd mounts from evan by then, but doubt it. Ill still be there. My friend may come down in his new celica also. Does it matter if he doesn't have a SCCA membership?

Will it be Krispy Kream at 7 am again?

[STIwish]

I might do that.. ill be racing my first race this weekend... gonna be fun. :)

[dknv]

My friend may come down in his new celica also. Does it matter if he doesn't have a SCCA membership?
Bring him! It'll cost him $30 per day (vs. $20 for a member).

Also, usually on Sat. after racing alot of us go down the street (Sneakers Bar & Grill) for food/beverage/bench racing.

[ArthurS]

Alright. Thanks.

Time to have some fun. Has anyone had damage done to their cars yet from the cones?

Matt - Where was that deal for helmets?

[tysonK]

I decided that I'm not going to get any suspension mods for my car until I become a better driver around the track!
Kinda pointless right now.
word.

[MattR]

Alright. Thanks.

Time to have some fun. Has anyone had damage done to their cars yet from the cones?

Matt - Where was that deal for helmets?


I plowed some with my body kit, and no damage at all. I've hit 'em hard too, the cones give quite a bit. And if they leave a mark, Windex will take it right off.

As far as the helmets go, I got a sweet open face, G force helmet for 107 shipped. I'll bring the catalog to the meet thursday if you guys want.

See ya

[tysonK]

what is bench racing, debbie?

Yea bring that tomorrow. I will pick one up for the next auto-x (not this one coming up).

[tysonK]

I wanna buy a helmet but the loner is free, and it doesn't smell that bad.

[Kostamojen]

Ill be probably attending this one, perhaps with some other subies from Sacramento...

[MattR]

Sweet! It would be cool to have some of you sacto guys come up..

[dknv]

what is bench racing, debbie?
Bench racing is when you sit on a bench and talk about racing, and commiserate about hitting cones, or not having your car setup right for the course, or for bragging about how you shaved 6 seconds between your 1st run and your last run. etc etc etc.

[dknv]

Ill be probably attending this one, perhaps with some other subies from Sacramento...
Do It!

[sperry]

I think I might finally get Austin (LabMonkey) up for this one in his Mustang.

Right Austin?

[dknv]

Austin should come --
the event chairs (and I assume, course designers) are Mustang drivers!

[AtomicLabMonkey]

I can't unfortunately.. I'm only getting back from my honeymoon vacation that Saturday night. 8)

[Kostamojen]

I heard that the course designs are rather open, not very twisty... Is this true?

[MattR]

Well, It looks like the STX (Blue) run group is to run third, so theres no need to show up out there first thing on saturday. Maybe we should meet up a little later, like 10 or so, Just a suggestion, Or we can head out there at normal time and watch and hang out.

On sunday however, we run last, so we have to work group 3, again, no NEED to get there early, what does everyone feel like doing???

D- Stock, STS and STX all run together in blue group. The newsletter says the afternoon drivers meeting is at 12:15, so we have plenty of time...

Discuss. 8)

[MattR]

it will also allow everyone to get their cars out of the impound lot saturday morning, after the 2F2F meet :lol: :lol:

[sperry]

I'll prolly try to show up fairly early Saturday morning, assuming my car's ready to go in STX (otherwise I'll be finishing my ALK removal Sat morning.. :lol:) I want to get there and get pictures of the morning run groups and check out the course.

Sunday, I'll prolly be a bit later.... a full day Saturday = tired Sunday morning... ;)

[MattR]

So??? Krispy Kreme? yes or no? Do we still want to meet up before hand?

[ArthurS]

KK at 7 am?

[dknv]

I heard that the course designs are rather open, not very twisty... Is this true?
Answer is, it depends on the course designer. June 7/8 event chairs are mustang drivers -- and I am guessing they'll design the course as well.

We have a good amount of space to work with at Stead Airport, so we often see courses that have both open and twisty elements.

[tysonK]

IF we run 3rd do we work 4th or 2nd?

Man, iF everyone is in the same Run group it will be hard to take pictures, of all the pretty Subaru's .

tyson "you can play those songs with chords.

[MattR]

Crap, its only monday!!!!!!!! I want autocross NOW!!! Can't we do a midweek auto-x under the lights! 8) that would be sweet....sorry, I'm just itchin' to go fast....

[MattR]

We should be able to find someone to take pics...If Theo's daughters come again, they can take pics, they took most of the good ones at hawthorne, and I may have a friend with me who we may have to put to work...


Sergio, are you gonna race??? I think you said you were working, but I can't remember

[STIwish]

If I can find a place to stay, I will be there this weekend... maybe my helmet will come in by the end of the week *crosses fingers*

[sperry]

KK at 7 am?

Yeah, let's do Tha Kreme at 7am... it's sorta becoming a ritual, without it I fear I'll be driving slow!

Plus someone's gotta pick up dog-nuts for the nice SCCA people who are out at Stead at 6!!

[dknv]

IF we run 3rd do we work 4th or 2nd?

Sat: run 3, work 4.
Sun: run 4, work 3.

[BOO]

Yeah :( .... as crappy as it sounds, I have to work the entire Weekend :cry: ....

[tysonK]

can you come out at all sergio?

[BOO]

Well, I go in at 8AM and get off at 6PM.. so I guess unless they are still there after 6pm.. I wont be able to attend :( ..
GOOD LUCK , HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE EVERYONE !! :)

[Dean]

Come On...

Lemon Valley Mickey D's at 7:00, and then Out Military to Stead to help setup the course at 7:30...

Now that's the way to get yourself in the mood! :D

Want to make a Subaru/WRX impression, get involved!

[ZER026D]

I am down for KK's there good in the morning see you guys there.

[Theo]

Hello Everyone,

I have a present for all the WRX drivers that show up on Saturday. Do you think there will be more than 10?

Theo

[ArthurS]

Well, we figure:

Debbie
Scott
Matt
Myself
Tyson
Evan
Justin

Anyone else?

[dknv]

Hello Everyone,

I have a present for all the WRX drivers that show up on Saturday. Do you think there will be more than 10?

Theo
A present?????? :?: (I'm a terrible waitor.)

btw, are you showing up early? We talked about you working timing ... not guaranteed, but I think it's a good idea ...

[MattR]

Can we make sure Theo works timing during the "BLUE " run group :lol:

[ArthurS]

Okay next n00b question:

What run group would I be in? Is it assigned on saturday? I am sure someone will help me saturday, butI would like I idea so I don't look like a complete doofus.

[Dean]

OK, anybody nneding help figuring out what class they are in, let me know what car (yr, make, model, engine option if any) what mods you have done, and I can help.

Basically, if you have done NOTHIN mechanical or electrical other than change shocks, brake pads, or cat back exhaust, you are Stock.

Anything else will put you all the way from Street Touring all the way to a modified class depending..

Also, if you are running tires with a treadware of 140 or higher, you are likely eligble for the Street tire classes.

let me know if I can help.

[ArthurS]

Ok:

2003 Subaru WRX Wagon 4EAT

Only mods that may make a difference:
Gauges (Boost, EGT, Oil Temp, and Oil Press.)
Front and Rear endlinks
Removed airbox/snorkus | Replaced with cover and shroud

[STIwish]

03 Subaru WRX, only mods by this weekend will be an uppipe (if i get unlazy and install it tonight)... everything else is stock.

[sperry]

Up-pipe definately takes you out of D-stock. I'd suggest not installing it till after this weekend, and run NDS (Street Tire D Stock).

[Theo]

I would love to learn the timing. When do I need to show up?

[Dean]

Guages are no big deal, but the end links and airbox change puts you in Street prepared, or Street Touring X.

Assuming Street tires, STX has a better pax than NESP, so I'd say STX.

[Dean]

If you do the uppipe, that kicks you right to NESP, or STX. STX has a better PAX, so go with that

If you don't, D Stock!

[STIwish]

Okay, so I'll be D-stock this weekend :)

[Dean]

To get into timing, you have to get there before all the people who want to stay out of the sun and sign up for timing because of that.

[MattR]

Okay, since nothing was accomplished last night,,,Krispy Kreme has been cancelled, ( for me anyway) so see everyone at Stead... :lol:

[ArthurS]

See yea out at Stead. I should be there from 9-10 am.

[nohandsonthewheel]

Hey Sorry STIwish and I can't make it this weekend. We still own our own company and need to stay here in Bishop and work for the weekend. We hope to be there for the next race though whenever that is. Hope you all had fun and awesome times! :(

[STIwish]

Fucking responsibility... $#)(*)*(*)($#@)(*$#@)*($#@)*($)*(#)* I fucking hate having to be responsible.

[nohandsonthewheel]

I just have to say that I am officially a member of the NRA The Non-Responsible Adults and the CSI The Can't Stand Idiots (anything that is ricer to be specific) :lol:

[ArthurS]

I had such a blast out there today. I was able to cut-off 8 seconds from my first run to my last. Thanks for helping my realize my tire pressure was way to low :?

I will upload pics from last night and today when I get home tonight. Considering that we did hella stuff last night, the Auto-x today, and Evans party tonight, I will have a lot to upload.

[ArthurS]

Sucks I didn't make it out today. I wasn't feeling to hot till around 4 pm. I did get to watch all the footage though and looks like some of you guys had good runs. I will try and get a nice Divx video made this week (hoefully before Thursday) and burn it onto CD's for everyone.

[Kostamojen]

Sorry us sac guys didnt make it back for sundays runs like we planned, alan went home saturday and me and kevin slept in rather late, LOL! I do plan on coming back again some time, stead is a great venu and you guys are cool too :)

[dknv]

Glad you guys made the trip for Sat., it was great to meet you in person. Good driving!

[dknv]

I had such a blast out there today. I was able to cut-off 8 seconds from my first run to my last.
For Sat's event, you are knighted "most improved".
(I think my driving was an improvement of less than 2 seconds.)
Great job!

[ArthurS]

Thanks. I am looking forward to the next auto-x, and I am picking up my helmet from where Evan and Tyson are.

[sperry]

It was great to have a few extra Subies out there... man that L can fly! Definately make sure you guys get up here for more events!

[Dean]

Hey, what happened to my present? Debbie wasn't the only one driving my red car on Saturday ya know...

I even brought shade...

Yeah, I jumped into the Miata for a couple runs, but I was nice and warmed up tires for Debbie for 4 runs first.

I was amazed how nimble and well balanced the Miata was. if only my head didn't stick out the top a couple inches even with the rollbar.

[ArthurS]

Here are a few pics from Saturday's Auto-X. Not to many, but we took actually 2 hours of footage of both days.
