Thanks!

 

Wish I could go... bad timing... last weekend before Christmas!!!

The McLaren F1 GTR gets 0wn3d constantly by Supras & Skylines!!!

Esso Ultraflow Supra 0wnZ!!! But too bad the Z took over for the Skylines... The Xanavi Nismo Skyline GTR was AWESOME looking & (like SRT4) fast!!!

 

That's too bad. This is some of the best racing on the planet!
We're hoping to see the 8's well represented so sign up folks

 

If you know you want to go but don't think you can make the 10/31 cutoff shoot me an email at carrol65@msn.com

As much as I would LOVE to go... I run a retail store so that means Nov.- early Jan, no weekends off... evAr...

I would totally recommend anyone who has the time off to go though!!! I've seen the races on DVD & they are just AMAZING!!!

The way the races are run means EVERYONE is fairly competitive!!! Top finishers in the races are given weight in the form of ballasts to (in theory) slow them down albeit fractionally but slowed nonetheless & then the cars running back of the pack can (in theory) catch up & sometimes are allowed to modify their cars further to allow more power/downforce, etc to help them compete.
Awesome system & I've never seen a race that was a complete "blow out" by one car.

 

Ladies and Gents,
No additional charge for parking.

The cost for the Autocross, Dyno and Audio Challenge have not been determined yet. Costs are expected this Friday and I'll post then.

The Autocross is going to be run by NASA.
Dyno and Audio Challenge will be run by Primedia.

Ack! Sucks to have both happening on the same weekend. Arrgg.

Thought they meant holding the event ON Dec 19th.. not hold off.. :P

Thank goodness, watch they reschedule it on December 25th... Lakers vs. Heat. :D

 

Again... they are NOW both happening on the same weekend, and at the SAME place!!! No need to choose!!!

-Bern

Mr. Dodge Viper there giving us the real Japanese Domestic Market JDM pose. Hope I can schedule that weekend off.

 

That's the Xanavi NISMO Skyline, isn't it?!?!?!! OMFG!!! I WANNA BE THERE SOOO BAD!!!

 

Oh Man, they just announced that BOTH events are going to happen on the same day, .. thought they were just going to delay the D1 onto another date... but now they are going to happen on the same weekend.. ack!

So tempted to go... need a place to stay too.. so much hassle

 

Why do you need a place to stay? You're in OC... only 45 minutes or so from the track?

And yes, I put it out earlier in this thread that both of these events were merged.

-Bern

 

I'm actually in Cerritos, the drive is going to kill me.. and besides, I tend to fall asleep on a long day out... Any info about how many people have signed up to attend as part of So Cal 7's club?

 

Just a reminder this weekend, Oct. 31st, is the last day to purchase your tickets and be part of the SoCal RX Club corral. Hurry!

LC

 

I am signed up to go with another friend who is riding along. See you there. By then I think I should have already moved to SoCal. Nice way to meet all the people down there.

 

Guys,
Just a few more days too go... make sure you sign-up before the 31st. There will be 20+ signed up by the end of this week!

-Bern
