Track and Shop Tour this Saturday Oct. 20.

[Dean]

In case you haven't seen it on the RenoSCCA mailing list, the club is going on a tour of a couple race shops and more importantly going to spend about an hour going through different configurations out at Reno-Fernley raceway.

This should be a great opportunity to check out the C&C and Benson brother' shops as well as get a fell for RFR especially if you haven't done any PDX or track trials events.

The Tour's starting point is C&C Automotive Specialties, 820 E. Greg St. in Sparks. Start time is 9:45 a.m. From there we'll be going to Reno-Fernley Raceway for an hour of lapping the road courses behind a pace car, followed by a visit to Benson Brothers Racing in Mound House. There'll be food and beverages at C&C and BBR, and it's all FREE and open to non-members as well as members. And, you don't need a helmet or other equipment.

Still have questions? Contact Jim Gandy at (775) 267-1183 or jrgandy@peoplepc.com.

This sounds like the first tour event that I've actually been interested in.

Too bad I'll be in Laguna Seca this weekend.

[MattR]

I'm going to go to C&C in the morning, but that's all. The weather is going to suck tomorrow.

[MattR]

maybe I'll go on the whole drive? Anyone else going?

[Dean]

I probably am.

Sue's coming up for it because she hasn't been on RFR since it grew a top section and for the heck of it.

Charge up your FRS radios.

I slept in too late, had too late of a night...Have fun guys.

[Dean]

You missed a good time. It was pretty fun.

We hung out at C&C for a while talking about engine and chassis dynos eating bagels, fruit and donuts.

the it was off to RFR. We spent almost an hour on track running 3 laps each of 4 different configurations at relatively fast pace speeds.

Then down to Benson Brothers in Mound House. They have a nice new shop and a great lunch spread including smoked tri-tip, sushi, shrimp, etc... and we talked about fabrication work including cages and such. they are also doing custom fiberglass and paint work. Art Majors has a cool new hood and a great ducted oil cooler setup you got a great look at because it was up on a lift. They are in the middle of building a GT Mustang, very cool.

Good day. ( I data logged the whole day, so I have 3+ hours of data. not race laps, but some good freeway and moderate track laps to dig through. )

After the laps at RFR my son got hungry so we grab a bite from the Trailer. Because it was cold and windy outside so we went inside to eat. Finish the pork sandwich, came outside and everybody gone. I only know the shop is some where on 50 close to Carson City. Bummer we just went home.

My son love the ride on the track.
