GARX8Club track day at TGPR Jan 28 2006
Ok, here is the good/bad news. The good news is I have the track. The bad news is the insurance and instruction rules are changing, and if I go over 10 people, the price goes up by 2, not counting ambulance. Therefore the value factor goes WAY down, since you can do two days at that price, unless we can round up 20 more folks, at which point, again, value goes down.
Like I said before, I want this to be intimate, to make sure you ALL leave with knowing a touch more. If you are definite, please send me or TrackAddict your money, and I will get it to the owner at TGPR. The sooner we do this, the better. I will also do intros for your club to the owner, to make sure you guys have this opportunity down the road, for club meets, etc.
For those of you who want to see some vids....go to www.32vcobra.com and click the TGPR link.
So, as it stands now, I have these 10.

5. AC8
6. MisterWilson
7. 32VCobra
8. KingVic
9. Super TT chic....Kingvic's wife
10. TrackAddict
If you notice, my name is not there. I am going down to help out, and be the general know-it-all.
. No, really, I thoroughly enjoy these events, and I want them to fun for all. So, if you are still interested, let TrackAddict know. I figured you guys would feel more comfortable working through one of your own, rather than me, since not all of you know me. I will be emailing my address, and TA's, so we can gather the funds to send to TGPR.
Thanks .... and see you all there.

STF... that EVO sounds really nice. Thanks for the link. I like being able to see the entire track from the flag stand. Set the video camera on a tripod and shoot the entire course... nice!
I think my brother is going to come and shoot for us. I'm working on him.

I just watched one of the videos on that site. Now I am all excited about going even more than I was before. It looks like a nice, short track, with places to work on a lot of things. This is going to be a lot of fun. I plan to have the car done by then. It will be fun!

Well damn, I thought I had pm'd to count me in. I guess i don't count no mo. The really good news is that the Saturday forecast has a big yellow SUN on it. Looks like it's gonna be cold too but that's what seat heaters are for!
S&T F: please let me know if you will have a slot for me.

I know you have 10 right now, but if any slot opens up, I'd love to have a spot. I can make it a weekend thing if you can get Friday too. Let me know please.

From the looks of it, there is not a lot of shifting gears once you get going. Do you suppose we will spend most of the time in 3rd in our cars. I only ask, b/c one of the things I need to work on is downshifting, that was one of two things that kept me from moving up to HPDE 2 at RA this year.
STF, check your PM's, I need to know where to send the $$.
