Wishbone Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Dwayne, I was wanting my wife Angie come along and have some fun with me, does she have to pay to use my car? How many times do we get to go and play on the playground? I wanted her to get some seat time before next weekends event sense she is going to be participating in it!

Desertdawg Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Each driver has to pay, but I'm thinking everyone should be able to get at least 10 laps in throughout the day. (I hope it flows that nice anyway) I added Bubba, Ken, a 2fer for AnM and Dean as a go, Robert let me know if your a 2fer also... BTW Jammye is going to have to drive too, my boss is coming from Yuma with his wife and she laid the smack down for Jammye to beat her around the course! They have an SRT8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kens06 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Quick question Dawg, Which gate will we be using, #Three (3)?? Stupid question but makes it easier once you get there!! Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 I believe it's gate #3, lot #4 is the big open space between the short track along the west fence and west of the drag strip. Anyone know how to contact Ruben (meanC6)? Or can log on AZFBA or the GTO forums to get a commited count for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mikey Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Just a few suggestions for any newbies: No more than 1/2 tank of fuel (there's a brand new Chevron near the entrance if you run low). Be sure to inflate to 40 psi in the tires or you'll be riding on the sidewalls all day (unless you have runflats with stiff sidewalls, then I'd recommend 35 psi). You might consider using Blue Painters Tape on the nose and rocker panels (I'll have the Red Corvette with the Blue "ground effects"). Remove your radar detector, cargo nets, floor mats and center hub caps. Empty the glove box, console and rear storage compartments and have a large bag to hold these items along with your helmuts, chairs and bottled water. Don't just look in front of the vehicle....Look far ahead and plan your line. Enter Gate 3 and pass thru the entry structure and park on the left side of the entry road. Skid pad 4 will be on the right side of the entry road. I hope this helps any newbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie44 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Thanks for the tips! What is the painters tape for? Rock chips. Even though there are no huge rocks there is miniscule gravel and at speed it will tattoo your paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Rock chips. Even though there are no huge rocks there is miniscule gravel and at speed it will tattoo your paint. Meh, mine already looks sand blasted. 40 psi??? Are you sure??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Yes Sean, 40 is good, you don't want it much lower because you will be cornering as hard as you can and you don't want to be rolling the sidewalls over. If this was all serious then you would be marking the edge of the tread with shoe polish to see how far on to the sidewall you running and make pressure adjustments between each run. Blue tape is a great idea, tape up behind each wheel to protect the paint. You don't need to do the nose because you will not be following anyone, it's one car at a time.

Big Poppa Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Rock chips. Even though there are no huge rocks there is miniscule gravel and at speed it will tattoo your paint. 40 psi??? Are you sure??? For street tires YES. Autocross and most road race tires have stiff enough walls that they don't roll over real bad. Street tires ill roll pretty easy. It's also an easy and cheap trick to use shoe polish on the edges of the tread to set the tire pressure. put 3 or so spots around the tire that go from the edge of the tread towards the center of the tire. run at full psi and you can see real easy how far the tire rolls toward the shoulder. Drop the pressure until the tire rolls right to the edge. Take all the crap out of your pockets, don't sit on your wallet. Use the cinch feature on the seatbelt. In fact, if you can move the seat back a bit, cinch the belt and then power the seat forward a bit, that's best. Position your body and the steering wheel so that your wrist can touch the top of the wheel with both shoulders pressed into the seat. That gives you far better control. Take out the floormats. Only touch the shifter IF YOU'RE SHIFTING!!! Do not use it to hold on or you will rip it out of gear. Shift and then get your hand back on the wheel. Right away. Don't be afraid to go a bit slow and learn the course and build the speed. Have a blast. I wish I could have made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertdawg Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Ok, here is the list I found on AZFBA, Interested in participating: -David (96azhawk) -Ryan (Meatyshells) -Val (DesertFox) -Dustin (z06dustin) -Joe (Juicdta) -Will (84camaroz28) -Tom (Acidburn) -Terry (Moonshadow) -Terry's Friend -Cyrus (Itsadryheat79) -Matt (matt3383) Camaro5/AZ ALL GENS: Itsadryheat79 Alex az5thgen DarricSS Dreamer2430 - Saturday preferance BrianSS eric24broncos AZDG Folks: Interested from AZDG: -Bijan + ? -FattyTuna -pandora It seems Ruben MeanC6 hasn't logged on here since the 13th so I'm sending an email to the admins at AZFBA with this rest of this info. It looks like about 50 drivers, if I guess at maybe 3 don't show up the price is $65.00 per driver, if more show up I'll have to figure out how to get a couple of bucks back to each person. I'm not in this for any profit so any extra will be either donated or will figure out what to do with it. If I come up short then oh well! Gates Open at 7am, driver meeting is at 8:30 or so, try to get there with enough time to get signed in and tech'd. EVERYONE has to sign a waiver! Driver's, passengers, spectators... Only drivers have to pay! Once again $65.00 per driver !!! If anyone is a member on AZFBA please relay this info the the events thread there. and please keep me posted of any dropouts or new signups! Andrew, can you post this on AZDG ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bring two chairs, did we find anyone to bring a tent? I'll get a case of water at Costco if someone can bring a cooler and ice. Mine will not fit in the car.
