I-Club Track Day - Buttonwillow - 3/22

[sperry]

http://www.i-club.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41938&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

Kevin's trying to talk me into going, and he's doing a good job. I think I may be in, unless it conflicts with RenoSCCA or Dean's Audi Club event at Pahrump.

[Kevin M]

Some FYI on this event fellas-

Looks like Alex is expecting ~40 cars on track.
Subaru of America will be there, VERY possibly with a Legacy GT!
ESX will be there.
S-Squared will be there.
I-Speed will be there.
Vishnu will be there.
Cobb will most likely (80% chance according to what they told Alex) be there.
SubyDude will have a booth there, along with Bozz, MPJ, and GB Motorsports. Gino will also be responsible for tech inspections.
There will be instructors provided.
40ish cars in 3 groups means LOTS of track time.
There will be a swap meet, lunch will be provided, and oh yeah, it's going to be a Subaru-only event. Don't be at all surprised to see some magazine coverage as well. Looks like it's shaping up to be one hell of a party.

Oh yes- entry is only $165 guys. Really a bargain after what ya'll are throwin' at Seca. I also reserved a double occupancy room for 2 nights for like $65. I think Alex got a group rate for us at like $29 a night. Any other excuses you folks may have for not attending, please post them up in this thread so I can shoot holes in them and coerce you into coming down. :P

Oh, and no conflicts with other events, except for the Double National at Thunder Hill. Were any of you besides Dean expecting to attend that?

[Nick Koan]

And, even if you don't want to participate, you can be a monkey like me and just hang out in the paddock. Watch stupid fast Subarus, try to get someone to give you a ride (unless you are prone to motion sickness :lol:) or play with around with the rest of us not playing on the track.

[sperry]

Well, Pahrump got cancelled, and it looks like Seca's not gonna happen... why's this gotta be on a weekday!! :x

Plus that weekend right before it, I'm invited by some of my company's big-wigs to go to their track day at Top Gun (drag strip)... not exactly my cup of tea, but it'd be cool to rub elbows with some of the upper managment types from IGT (plus they have some SICK cars... my boss's '99 Supercharged Viper puts down 600hp at the wheels). That's also the weekend of the SFR/Reno double national at Thunderhill, and while I'm not eligible to drive in it, I did want to go work it. Damn that'll be a busy weekend!

So... I can't say yes yet, but I'll look in to making it.

[MikeSTI]

how soon do we need to be in? I want to go but....I want others to go also :?

[MattR]

F@#% It! I'll Go :lol:

Seriously, I might consider going now,,, However, This means two days off work as well as probabaly 2 nights hotel..

Does this conflict with anything else? I can't remember, but I think I'm supposed to be at Thunder Hill for the SCCA event that weekend. I'll have to check that out before I decide. ..

Does anyone besides mike and I have an inclination to go? It would be a damn good time I'm sure.

M

[MikeSTI]

btw where is bottonwillow? Matt you willing to split a room? What days would we be there? I might just go to watch but would like to drive :twisted:

[MattR]

Buttonwillow is down in Southern/ Central valley... South of Fresno I believe. I would want to get there Sunday night and leave tuesday morning probably. Sharing a room is cool. Looks like there are some cheap ass room near the track. I'm definately leaning towards going.

[STIwish]

YAY! something im close too.. not that it matters though.

Did you miss my post? It *almost* conflicts with the T-Hill Double National. And, yes I'm interested in trying to get out there.

[Nick Koan]

I think its about 3-4 hours south of Sacramento on 5.

Um. I am toying with the idea of going to THill on Saturday/ Sunday for SCCA, driving to Buttonwillow Sunday Night, waking up, running Iclub track day, then, dependnig on how late it goes, either staying another night there, or driving to SAC and getting a hotel room. Then Drive home to Reno Tues morning. It would be quite a marathon, but pretty cool.

[STIwish]

Scott is on the rag, ignore him :)

Not a bad plan. I just need to figure out if I'm doing Top Gun over working the Double National. Top Gun would just be 1 day, so it'd be alot easier to get to BWillow with all day Sunday to drive.

[dknv]

The thing in February is the Flagging & Communications seminar at Sears Pt.

[MattR]

The thing in February is the Flagging & Communications seminar at Sears Pt.

yeah, i'm going to go to that, I assumed we should attend the seminar as well as work the double national at THill. i may indeed end up doing the seminar only, I'm not 100% sure on attending the Double National yet, I think the IClub track day has taken priority for me.

Guys, Don't forget,

Even if you're going to attend and NOT drive, reply to Alex's post on I-Club here (http://www.i-club.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41938) so that they can get a somewhat accurate count on the number of attendees.

Also, if its cool with Nate, Scott, Kevin, we should try to pit/ Stage with the
S-Squared Army at the track...Power in numbers yo!

This is gonna be so sweet.

I doubt pitting w/ them will be an issue, but we certainly won't be staging with them since we're all in group C and they'll be in A or X.

Just double-checking before I make reservations...

Is this the right motel?

http://www.motel6.com/reservations/motel_detail.asp?MotelId=1354

Because she said there were only 4 reservations for that day so far. I thought more people would have done it already. Just making sure before I do it.

[MattR]

Thats the link I got from Kevin (Ban Suvs), maybe people are dragging their feet in registering.

[tysonK]

Well I got the days off. 22 and 23 :twisted:

Kevin are you looking for a roommate?

Is anyone?

I added a reply on I-Club.

[Kevin M]

Nobody has staked an official claim on the other bed in my room... but I imagine that however much space there is on the floor is gonna dictate how many people can stay with me. Besides, there's gonna be enough people there that there will definitely be a party goin on. :twisted:

[MattR]

When is Alex going to update the registration list on I Club? I m Curious.

[Kevin M]

Good question.

[STIwish]

*looks at his 300+ dvds* any requests?

[sperry]

I will already be in LA that weekend. I think Matt's still planning on coming down w/ me. So, if I can still make it to Buttonwillow, I'll just meet you guys at the track! If not, I'll be heading back to Reno Sunday night, and Matt'll have to meet you guys out there w/o me.

[ArthurS]

I may have to stay in town for a meeting with my soon to be Financials District Manager. He doesn't know if he can push our meeting forward or not.

[Kevin M]

The S-Squared crew is actually going to be leaving Sac by 8 or 9 AM. It is only about 4 more hours from there to the track though, so it shouldn't be totally killer if you make the early trip down. Besides, you can make better time by leaving at 6 than at 10 anyway. ;)

[sperry]

Having a department Director w/ a turbo charged Viper rules.

I talked to the director of my dept, and gave him my sob story about having this track day planned since January, and since he's a motorhead like me he told me he'd see what he can do about letting me get out of here for the event. I might only get Monday off, so I'd be doing the post race immediate departure trip back to Reno, in which case a truck and trailer would be almost necessary because the fatigue of driving my uber-stiff car long distance is probably too much, but at least I'll have a shot at making the event.

Speaking of trucks, my boss offered me his trailer if I can come with a truck to tow it... anyone got a truck I can borrow? Hey Matt, is that friend of your still selling that Ford, and you think it'd be capable of towing my WRX long distance?

[MikeSTI]

why get there so early?

[MattR]

"LETS GET PLANING"

I am still planning on going to LA friday night, then Buttonwillow by Sunday afternoon. It kind of depends on Scott though. If Scott cancels his LA trip, I'll be caravaning to buttonwillow with everyone else.

Well, I'm pretty sure I'm good for the weekend LA trip... it's just the Buttonwillow part of it that might be canceled for me. I'm working 12+ hours days for the next 13 days to try to keep that window open for me.

As far as the truck/trailier.... I'd love to be able to tow two cars, but we'll need to find a rippin big trailer, and hope that truck can haul 7000lbs over the Grapevine. :shock: :lol: I've never driven a truck/trailer before, so I'm a little nervous getting it and going to town w/ such a big load.... we should talk on the phone tomorrow at lunch or something Matt, fill me in on the dilly. Plus, I still need to figure out how to afford a truck/insurance... I might have to cash in my ESPP stocks, which I didn't really want to do yet (not to mention that money's ear-marked for CC debt :()

[MikeSTI]

Mike, can I ride with you buddy? I already asked for the time off, im hella down.you can ride with me.

so what time do we want to leave then? 6:00am so we can meet up with the Sac crew or what?

[ArthurS]

Its confirmed. I cannot make the trip. I *have* to be here Monday. :(

[MikeSTI]

now that we have a full page about how Scott needs a trailer think we can get back to who's going from Reno to Buttonwillow......Tyson you still in?

[STIwish]

Check your PM Mike... btw, the days are the 21st, 22nd and 23rd correct?

[MikeSTI]

Check your PM Mike... btw, the days are the 21st, 22nd and 23rd correct?yep and yep

I need to go reserve a room down there.

[Kevin M]

I think I have room Tyson. Another person canceled.

[tysonK]

Cool man. You can put me down as a confirmed roommate if you want.

[STIwish]

Ditto that!

[STIwish]

Confirmed my days off today... its on yo.

[MikeSTI]

So far it looks like Justin, Tyson, & me for a Sunday departure.
What time would we like to leave?
Do we want to go early to meet the Sac boys or do we want to go at are own pace?

[MikeSTI]

well I was thinking we would leave around Noon so i dont think we will catch them untill Buttonwillow......I dont mind going early but would prefer to go to church before going over the hill......besides unless Tyson wants to go sooner (being that so far its just me and him driving) we might want are weekend sleep......

Hey Mike....kinda Off-topic...but have you ever seen your pastor (sp?) bless a car at your church? I went to my old church this last Sunday and they were blessing a brand new mustang outside. I knew a priest could bless anything, but it was kinda weird to see it.

The Church I go to (like once every 3 months) is Christian also. Thats why it was kinda weird to see.

I am a minister also. Through the Universal Life Church...

Tyson's just spectating, Looks as though there will only be 1 SECCS car on the track. No biggy, next year, we'll make sure more are ready to go.

Its probably a lot closer for you to go over HWY58 anyway, It spits you right out at Buttonwillow once you go thru Bake-town.

goddammit... I swear, someone up there hates me... I go to start my truck this morning to go get gas before I leave... and it runs for about 30 seconds and then chokes and dies... the wonderful aroma of unburnt gasoline hits me. Looks like Im out for this event.

[Nick Koan]

Booyah. Postwhoring it up from the starbucks in Buttonwillow :D

Hopefully I'll be able to get some pics up tomorrow evening. Aparently you can get one free night of WiFi access in Starbucks.

How was the in-car footage Matt?

[Nick Koan]

Good incar footage. We watched it last night at one of the local resturants (they let us take over the bar where there was a big screen tv :D).

Can't wait for Matt to digitize that stuff.

[MattR]

How was the in-car footage Matt?

It was sweet! Like Nick said, we watched it on a big screen at the BBQ place in Buttonwillow, along with some of Lance's footage, which was kick-ass.

No...he doesn't need Sony software. My camaera didn't even come with it. It came with a program called 'Pixela' or something.
