I really want to go. You will all have so much fun out there. It's looking like high 80's and low 90's for the weekend, so the mornings should be nice and cool. Have a blast!

Joeyy 2007-06-19 11:17 AM

I don't have the money to run, so I did not register. Anybody have any room in a passenger seat for me. I've lost 11 pounds this month, so I should not hurt your times to mad.

Dude, eat a sandwich. You're already thin.

My only hunger is for more PAX points!

Ride Sat. and Drive Sunday is always an option or vice versa.

I'll be able to give rides and currently don't have an assigned student, so can coach any of you solo folks that might want it.

sperry 2007-06-19 11:35 AM

I spent a ton of time getting my passenger seat sorted, so I should be able to take people out... but I'm not an instructor, and not really interested in becoming one on the track (at least not for a while, I still have too much to learn, and I'm too scared to ride in a student's car). So, don't expect to learn much from my passenger seat, though it should be a fun ride.

I think from memory at last year's TEAM RFR event drivers in the A group could take passengers anytime except the first run group of the day.

That's correct according to the handbook.

wrxkidid 2007-06-19 12:22 PM

can a snag a ride then scott/dean/both? :D

do i need a helmet or do they have loaners?

sperry 2007-06-19 12:23 PM

I don't know if there are loaners... I know the SCCA bus won't be out there (this event has nothing to do w/ Reno SCCA) so the normal supply of loaners won't be available... so if you can find a helmet bring it!

wrxkidid 2007-06-19 12:27 PM

sweet ill see if i can snag one. i was thinking about buying one anyways.

cody 2007-06-19 01:03 PM

I got mine for ~$100 @ Summit Racing.

sperry 2007-06-19 01:23 PM

Make sure it's an SA2005. No sense in getting an SA2000 which is the minimum for the event this weekend.

wrxkidid 2007-06-19 11:17 PM

tahts what id get. i want a full face one though dont ask why i just do haha.

sti deede 2007-06-20 12:11 PM

Can you wear open face helmets on the track? I can't recall.

Kevin M 2007-06-20 12:30 PM

Yes.

sti deede 2007-06-20 01:07 PM

thank you!

Dean 2007-06-22 06:02 AM

Charge up your FRS/GMRS radio(s) and throw them in the car/truck.

If a bunch of us are caravaning at some point, it might be nice to have communication.

Scott, what was the "official" SECCS channel? 7:07?

If you don't have one, go spend a couple bucks on a decent GMRS radio somewhere or a couple more bucks on a rechargeable one.

If you absolutely can't afford one, myself or someone may have a spare you could borrow or actually have. I have at least a couple old FRSs I don't use any more.

sperry 2007-06-22 09:51 AM

I've got like 6 or 7 radios, but I doubt any of them have been charged since I moved in November... I'll have to remember to plug 'em in tonight.

Also, when and where for caravaning out there? 6am at the Chevron on the East edge of town?

MattR 2007-06-22 10:51 AM

I can meet y'all at the Chevron/ McD's on Vista just say what time.

Track opens at 7:00, Right???

So yes, Scott you should be at Chevron/McDs at 6:00, maybe 5:30...

The rest of us will be there before 6:30. :lol:

I was going to pick up ICE for Bonni at 6:00 at Walmart on McCarren and Mae Anne and head out. The one at 395 and McCaren is just a PITA and I can't think of anywhere with cheap ice at 0600 on a Sat. on the east side...

Kevin M 2007-06-22 12:52 PM

I think the WalMart on Kietzke is open by then.

But a further drive...

Kevin M 2007-06-22 01:06 PM

I reckon it's closer to Fernley than Mae Anne, but suit yourself.

If I had my sky crane maybe. The distances from either to RFR is less than 0.7 miles difference according to google maps, but 7th st. (Mae Anne store) is way closer to my house.
