ALSCCA Solo School - 3/4/07
 

Here's the best $75 you can spend all year!

The ALSCCA is putting on a Solo School. It will be a 1 day event and will be split between two locations in Birmingham, AL. Two different types of courses are Autocross at Birmingham Race Course parking lot and Skid Pad at Barber Motorsports Park. The day will be split between both locations. It will start around 10:00 AM which makes it easy to travel from GA. You should get around 30 runs, which is more than you would get in a year's worth of autocrosses plus the skid pad training is invaluable. Space is limited as there are only 9 slots left at this time so RESPOND PROMPTLY!

working on this....having to rearrange some stuff......question....do u have to be a scca member to do this?

I have sent an email in, to see if I can get a spot. So, if there is still one left, I am in.

No, I've already asked that question myself.

and the countdown begins. so who am I left to drive with in hp3?
Also if anyone is interested the bmw folks are having a track w/e at RA the weekend before ours. check it out. We all should just go and watch a little.

well not for RA but for CMP, Roebling, Barber, and whatever else i can fit in...i'm in 3.......i would think that L8 would be joining us soon........he has some scary talent, he just doesn't know it yet.....kurtbob is 3, pam is 3 I think, and hell if any of the big head instructor types want to, they can still run 3 as well......

My fate is in my instructor from Road Atlanta's hands. DE3 is scheduled for my second event but if my wise and experienced instructor thinks me needs further DE2 then I will just have to wait to join you. This is one of the reasons I want to participate in this SCCA Solo event, to gain that extra knowledge required to put me into DE3. It's two weekends before Road Atlanta and the timing is perfect. Hope it works.

Denny, want to join us for some slip-n-slide?

sorry silver....didn't mean to leave you out.......yes, silver should be there soon as well

L8APEX and Phlash, did you guys make any decisions yet?

oh i wanna go, but schedule is not working out yet.......we have a server move that was to take place that am....I'm waiting on my higher up's ok.....

Hope you can make it Phlash.

You forgot handsome...

I have to back out. My dumbass did not look at the calendar right, that is our first weekend at the new house, no way am I gonna get an all day kitchen pass. Sorry guys, I really wanted to go, but it just ain't gonna be possible.

OK, wish you could make it. I think this is going to be a very important event for those of us that need lessons in controlling our car. It's kind of like one of those expensive sessions with Panoz but for $75 instead of $595. Ain't no way I missing this one.

... and addicted!

I think I'm talking to myself!

Hi guys. I would like to also say that we are adding another feature. It will be a high speed figure eight. This will help in the right turn left turn transition and trailbraking and help in getting to more understand the limits of each car without the risk of injury to car and pride :) See yall Sunday, David Leonard.

Awesome! A bonus run. David, any idea how many times we will be running each of the stations?

It all depends on the drivers not taking out a lot of cones . The good news is that it is not a timed event like autoxing so we dont have to worry about timing equipment. Also a low number of students. This is the first time our club has done this so I am really excided about everyones comments good or bad. If this does well, we are going to try to do this a couple times a year. I can tell you it will be the best $75 you can spend. I think you are going to get a lot of seat time :) David

If this turns out like I think it will then I will probably be signing up for every event if it does not interfear with my present track schedule.

Also some of us that are going to be at this event Sunday are going to be instructing at Road Atlanta 9,10,11 of March with the Peachtree BMWCCA. So if some of yall aren't doing anything come on out. We will be the second event on track with the new pavement if any one wants to take a couple of laps. I just put on a new set of Penski coilovers(lots of money) suppose to be good on my car for about 3 seconds at Road Atlanta . We will see.David.
