OK Morning session Tech and Reg. stops at 9:30 AM. 1st car on course at 10:00 AM. If you do not make it then you will have to wait for the afternoon session and fun runs. So when you get there get your car ready for tech ASAP, because if it is not been tech and ready to run by 9:30 then you have to wait. This means tires changes need to be done by 9:30.

Loaner helmets are available."

Looks like a fun event!

I was out at MSR last weekend checking out the track/go karting...too bad I wasn't able to get my new track wheels otherwise I would've signed up. Maybe next time for me.

I just found a buyer already...just waiting for my new wheels that I just paid for. I don't want to track on the new wheels. It was between those wheels and FN's but I got a little greedy haha.

Whenever funds come up again...FN's and nice tires are on top of the list.

Good luck and stay in second gear if possible. Also don't rev past 8500RPMs'.

Looks like fun, I might go to the next one though I feel more comfortable at an Auto-X learning the 8. Not quite up to stuff to intentionally break traction with confidence.

thats what happens when youre buying your first car and you havent learned to drive a stick. had no dad to teach me and even though my mom had a 2002 ws6 transam....she sold it before i was 14 and never taught me anything :D

Let me get them in first...lets just say I didn't expect to end up with these wheels. I guess I will blend in with my friends haha.

Why not? Ive done many auto-x's where I reached 10000 in 2nd gear. Not really worth to shift to 3rd then immediately downshift to 1st for a hard corner.

I imagine that's to stay in the beefier part of the power band for that exact reason. A way of making the gearing line up for the corners without actually changing them LOL

And without making his gear shifter pull a Viper ACR at 'The Ring'
