Reno-Fernley Test-n-Tune & Club Trials Saturday 4-29
I just confirmed with the track, there is a test-n-tune this Friday for SCCA members that wish to test for this weekend's Trials event.
$170 for a full day (+$75 for a second driver) $110 for a half day (+$50 for a second driver) No need to register, just show up! Assuming I have my car back and it's running well enough to race I plan to be out there on my street tires all day Friday. |
Stupid office moving day. :mad: I got out of working saturday becaue of the pre-existing ommitment, but I probably won't be able to take time off for this on firday. :(
Unless I can convince the boss to come out with me in his 350Z... :twisted: |
You guys enjoy, take pics, be safe!
(I'm planning to be in Atwater CA for the scca national tour, warming up my autox skillz.) |
You happen to know the cost for Saturday's TT/CT event?
Thanks. Adam |
$150

Okay guys, looks like this is the place for Saturday Info....
I just want to remind everyone driving. YOU NEED TO WEAR a long sleeve cotton shirt and long pants while you drive. There will be no exceptions, so make sure you bring the proper clothing along. |
Is there going to be registration in the morning? The flyer says that you "must" be registered by Wednesday.

Will my NASA HPDE count for experience or since this is my first SCCA trials will I be considered a novice? |
I'm not so conerned about myself, but what about all of those people who have heard the radio ads, and do not know that the deadline was Wednesday?
It would not look real good to advertise, then turn people away. |
Quote:
I need to know if I am going to be turned away if I show up in the morning. What time do we need to arrive to register? |
It's funny how nobody at autox said anything about a Wed registration requirement.
|
I'm going to come out and get some photos. What time should I come out.
|
Reno-Fernley Raceway has been advertising this week. And in the ad, the SCCA event has been part of the bundle. I ASSUMED (I know not a smart thing to do) that the powers that be in the Reno SCCA front office had some knowledge of this.
I too am curious as to whether or not there will be registration. I would have loved to have pre-registered, but my work schedule varies so much that I just couldn't. |
Yeah, I'm sure there are going to be a lot of people who need to register the morning of. I'm not sure why they did/ didn't stress the registration deadline if they are going to stand by it. hmmm. I wouldn't worry about it though. For future reference though, if you're going to plan on attending the events, it helps incredibly for the event planners if you can register early.
|
jeez guys, the whoel schedule is on renoscca.com
http://renoscca.com/events/2006/04-29%20TT%20Flyer.pdf Drivers meeting is at 8, gates open at 7, so I'd say get there as close to 7 as possible. Race cars on track at 8:30, followed by Advanced Club cars at 8:50. And so on. Then alternating all day. |
I also have some NASA experience, and while I understand that Reno is still growing this program, NASA plainly tells you that if you do not pre-register, then you pay an extra $50 to register at the track. But I KNOW that I can register that morning if I have too.
Please don't take this as complaining, because that is not how it's meant. I would REALLY like to see this program take of here, I just want it to be the best for everybody. |
I am jonesing so bad for a track day. You all have a blast and be safe out there.
|
Yes, you are right the schedule IS posted. But it does not say anything about late registration. Just tech.
|
Well, all I can say is maybe waiting until this late the night before the event is not the best time to try and figure this stuff out. When all the info is not available, all you can do is show up early and ask then.
It's the first time we've (Reno SCCA) put on a trial event at Reno Fernley, and it looks as though a few "i's" were not dotted, that's all. |
I just talked to some other people, and we all are under the assumption that there will indeed be late registration. It's too late to call the event master, or else I'd get a definate answer, but I'd suggest trying to get there around 7 AM and speak to registration as soon as you arrive. Honestly, I don;t think there will be a problem.
|
So how did the event go? And how was the weather out there?
|
Apart from wasting half the day with worker changeovers because SCCA is too cheap to hire flaggers, it went well. No accidents, and apart from Kyp Johnson blowing up his engine, no one else had any problems.
It was really interesting to run with transponders so you could see everyone's times after each run group, and watch the times go down as the day progressed. The weather was perfect for driving, although it got pretty hot in the timing box. |
Speaking of times... you wouldn't be able to export the result to a .CSV and email them to me, could you?
Or just bring the laptop when you come over to pick up your camber plates and we can pull the results then. |

I almost forgot, Dave Deborde destroyed his engine when he missed a downshift.
|
Is that why he went off?
|
Quote:
|
Yeah, one of which is that he told me at the last autox that his motor was being rebuild and that was why his car wasn't at that event.
:( |
Quote:
But yeah, was shifting to 4th and accidentally went to 2nd and over-spun the motor which is now making funny noises according to Dave. Probably a bent valve. :( |
Quote:
|
Dave went off in the right hander before the bowl. Misshifting to second going in would have been a handy excuse. ;)

I remember it being immediately after lunch, not sure which session that was exactly. Dave was flagged and came through the hot pit right after. Or maybe I wasn't paying any attention and it was Lee...

If anyone is interested, here's my in-car from the Trials event:
Qualifying (86MB .WMV) Timed Laps (52MB .WMV) The movies are pretty low quality, just to try to keep the file sizes down. You should be able to clearly hear the massive exhaust leak I developed during the morning practices that ended up limiting my boost levels during the timed laps. |
Nice Scott. Thanks for posting. Your car sounds great. On my laptop I couldn't hear the exhaust leak. Driving looked very clean for the most part (of course that is from my perspective).
Great to see your car out there again. You must be stoked! |

Nice. I though Art Majors was running in a time trial class, not tt2. hmm.. Anyway, it's weird, I've finished 8th in everything I've done this year, Solo and trials.
|
Is there a video? Lets see it!

Also, finishing 8th overall doesn't mean much, since the championship is per class. You finished 5th in class. |

I have a question regarding: Quote:
|
Quote:
I think it's just the downpipe/turbo junction leaking, since a bolt actually fell off the car there. However, I've never seen my boost limited that much from a leak after the turbo. I have seen my boost limited by header and up-pipe leaks, so I'm not ruling those out either. I'll know tonight when I finally get the car up on jack stands. |
So enough talk about Scott's car, I want pictures, and I hear there is a video shot by Carrie and Marrissa floating around.
