Hello Reno SCCA Members and Friends,

Interested in some free time on the track at Reno-Fernley? On Monday, Oct. 23rd, the new driving school at R-F, ProControl Driving Academy, is expecting Channel 8 to come out to do a segment, and ProControl would like to have cars on the track to give an action backdrop for the video. ProControl will be setting up between 9 and 9:30, and the TV people are expected around 10. ProControl says they've got the track for four hours or so. Depending on who shows up, they may divide people into run groups -- expert, novice, and so on -- for safety. If someone shows up with no track experience, ProControl expects to be demonstrating their instruction techniques. Some sessions may be following behind a lead car. Bottom line is, there's no guarantee you'll simply be turned loose, but at least you'll be getting time on track and you'll also be helping the cause of track events in the Reno area. Remember that this isn't an SCCA event, so you're on your own for things like liability. Call Mike Dietel of ProControl at (775) 338-2183 for more info. -- Jim Gandy, jrgandy@peoplepc. com

Thank you,
