If anyone would like us to pre-tech your car prior to going to the track, give me a call and we can set up an appointment.

No rollbar in mine yet , but I may come up to watch. Do you have a tech sheet available that I could use to make sure I'm up to speed? I was involved with SCCA GT 3 sedans for a bit, so I have an idea, but the specifics for this group would be nice.

Default Found the tech sheet

Link in the post didn't work, but I found the tech sheet anyway. Is it legal to run with the hartop (and rollbar) on?

Yes if you have a convertable with a rollbar you can run. If you have a coupe or FRC, then you can run without a roll bar as this is not a race, just a high speed driving event.

What did you run in GT3? What region did you run in ? I used to run a 240Z in ITS in the San Francisco Region of SCCA.

Hi Doug,
My plan is to tow the trailer up Thursday night and stay at the Amerihost. Terry will probably drive up in the morning. When I wake up at "Oh Dark :30am" to drive to the track, My eyes are shot by the afternoon. Plus there is a cute waitress in the Cantina next to the Amerihost.

Anyone interested in caravaning on Friday morning?

Let me know and we can work out a convienient meeting place.

I'll drop my daughter off at school, grab a quick bite then hit the road by 8AM Friday. See you up there.

I'm not sure if there is a schedule posted, but the drill usually goes like this.
Wake up early,
Drive to the track,
empty all of stuff that you didn't know was in the car, but shouldn't be in there for track driving,
Registration opens 7 or 7:30
Mandatory Driver's meeting at 8:00
Track orientation laps (1 or 2),
First group out by 9am
