I sent an email to John Evans asking if there was pre-registration and what time I should be there. Here's his response:

Here's what NOAA Weather has to say:

Great thanks for the info. wonder if i order a helmet if it will come in time , guess i'll find out , my luck i'll spend a bunch of time running down to reno on thrusday to pick up rims, and get summer tires mounted and then work late, then it will rain :( rain would be fun to drive in, but sucks to drive all around the sierras to get a set ready asap and not need em. lol

I PM'd Aaron about his fender roller but he hasn't responded. Anybody know if he will be at the class? I just need a tiny bit of exra clearance for my tires.

No response because he's in Tokyo today. ;) I think he said he'd be up here for the event depending on weather.

If you order by 3 PM or so today from a west coast vendor, it almost certainly will get here in time. Better to have your new tires ready and not need them than vice versa. ;) And rain, schmain... we ran in snow two years ago. It's still fun. Well, driving is... being an instructor sucks ass. :p

Cool, thanks Kevin.

thanks BanSUVs ;)

i'm going to order a helmet before 3pm. i think from soloracers.com as it was mentioned in a diff thread as a place with great prices. i'm worried that a full helmet will cut down on my visibility a lot versus the open face. But in the very rare/fluke chance that something goes through the windshiled eye protection could be a good thing, or is it way to hard to see with the visor down ? (108 , versus 138 ) or is that something i really don't have to worry about ? (if my windshield breaks i'll definatly stop and quit for the day )

Soloracer.com is located in Ohio; I doubt they'd get your shipment to you by friday without paying for 2 day air. Summit carries G-Force stuff don't they?

Open vs. closed face is really a matter of personal preference in closed cars. Open is more comfortable, but closed is nice if you have a big off at Lovelock or RFR. ;)

Don't forget to set you clocks forward for saturday. Day Light Savings

Oh lame.

Actually it's Sunday :lol:

Thank god.

Thanks a bunch BanSuvs , called summit and reserved the last medium open faced helmet they had in stock. (didn't realize they had a sparks store front) This way i can try it on before i buy it (sizing chart says i should be a medium ) , perfect :) worst case it doesn't fit and i go with a loaner

Well, worst case is it doesn't fit and you end up with a loaner that doesn't fit. :lol: But glad you got yourself all set. You should be okay, my helmet is a medium and I wear a 7-1/4 to 7-3/8 hat. Or at least I used to, I am getting older so it might be 7-1/2 now!

Oh shnapp. . . I didn't even see that coming. Thanks man. :eek:

(Mike's right - 2am on sunday)

Only if you have a convertible, or if you forget, and leave your window(s) open [dknv <----:lol: ]

Oh, actually, we Are having a solo2 are Lovelock this year?

Matt's windows were down for his 'exhibition' run at Lovelock. :) And yeah, I think we have 1 Solo at Lovelock.

Well i think they are out of close faced in medium, but i'll check that out. if not i can always use my snowboard googles (or just some sun glasses) :) or uhm .. windows up ?

What is the run order this weekend?

Pat you run when the track is the wettest. The rest of us will wait for clear skies.

I won't mind if its wet as long as there's no gravel. Should I hit up one of my customers to loan me a mongo blower for the weekend?

According to the little schedule in my wallett

WY GB on Sat.
GW YB on Sun.

W = AS, BS, CS, DS, ES, FS, GS, HS
Y = Novice, SM, XP, CP, DP, AM, BM, CM, FM, Karts
B = SS, ASP, BSP, SM2, SU, DM, EM
G = Novice, CSP, DSP, ESP, FSP, STS, STS2, STX

Actually, what would it take to find a power broom? I don't think anything shory of a jet-dryer will clear off that tarmac, and then we'd be making a bigger mess blowing dust and gravel all over the runway.

This is what we really need:

That's a sweet helmet!

Actually, the blowers work better than brooms.
