The '04 season finally "officially" begins! :cheers:
Time for a roll call - I'll be there, who else is coming? C Stock looks like it's going to have a pretty full field this season! :twisted:

I am so there. I hate to say it, but I miss that concrete bastard.
I'm in. Novice E-Stock. Looking forward to it! :D
Can non-SCCA members pre-register?
Enjoy the event. I won't be playing at Pennington much this year.
If it's like last year, you don't need an SCCA membership to pre-register.Quote:

Tell me more about "Street Tire" class. I think I beat onething at AX102 last week. :wink:Quote:

Why not General?? :salut:Quote:

NOOOOOO :PQuote:

I figure I have run at-least 75 events @ Pennington over the years. There are only so many ways you can run on that site with a large group of people. Looking to drive different courses. You could say the same thing about MW but it has some speed that will still get the adrenaline flowing. So I will be more selective about events at Pennington.Quote:

Well, I'll be running 4cs or I won't be running SCCA events at all this year. If they can't even bother responding, piss on 'um. :evil:Quote:

Sorry, but I don't think that's too much to ask. :roll:
The SCCA is clearly not as organized as I thought a National organization would/should be...
First off you are the only one who wears lederhosen! :wink:Quote:

Wonder what's up with that...... :?:
Maybe they know your money's no good, Mick? :P
Iain
bump. Would someone please explain to me what this really means. If I run in 'Street Tire class', will I still be in class of ES? Is there a novice group? What do I tell them when I register? Would I still have to remove my STB? Inquiring minds need to know! TIA!Quote:

Tell them you like bunnies :albino:Quote:

If your TES you would, since the STB isn't a stock part for your '92Quote:

This is a good source of information on classes and such. It's a reference not the law. :wink:
If you pull the STB, your car is ES. Since you are a novice you can run NES. The Tire with the STB pulled sould make you TES.
I think the STB if left in the car would technically make you CSP, so if you run tire class I think you'd be TCSP. Does that sound correct Tailchaser?
That means I have to go buy some magnetic 'T's! :roll: Anyone know of a local place where I can buy some?Quote:

If you want quality local numbers, give Larry a call at ProTape Signs. If you sweet-talk him, he'll probably meet you at the track with them on Sunday.
Any such class as NTES? :scratch:Quote:

What time are y'all planning on being there? Anyone want to meet for breakfast at McD's across the street?
The SCCA Website shows : Registration & Tech 7:30AM-9:00AMQuote:

So who all is planing on going to the 1st SCCA Event!?
I plan to be there (in the 7, not a miata yet) but the clutch was being weird this morning, so I'm gonna have to sort that out tomorrow..
who all else is running in CSP?
I'll be #42CSP (hopefully)
I'll be there if it does not rain by 6AM. Hate get my new "99 Sport " dirty 8) :D
Hal, will you bring me the block if you are going and it is not raining. Thanks! :wink:

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make it or not. Whatever bug I caught has really kept me down. :( Unless this fever breaks tonight, I'm going to stay home and rest.
Much as we want you to come out, run TES, beat Hal, and have a great time, health is important. Get well!Quote:

Okay kids, tell us the story.
I heard a nasty rumor of only 3 runs!
You heard right. The combination of first event of the year and good weather meant over 180 entrants yesterday, which translated into only three runs. :shock:
Still, I like the new format where all participants in a class run in the same heat, and once this and the new timing and computer systems are fully sorted out, I expect the events will run much smoother. And one positive thing can be said for only getting three runs - it makes getting a good run in early that much more crucial. :wink:
And you still can't beat the close racing at SCCA events - less than four hundredths of a second separated 1st & 2nd place in C Stock yesterday. :thumleft:
heh... sure if there's more than 3 cars in yoru class...
Showed up about 8am.. Worked the largest heat (all teh STS, STX, and T class cars) started about 4pm. I ran the 5th heat, 3 runs, maybe 5 minutes between each run. Barely enough time to drive back to the grid, adjust tire pressures, hop back in teh car and run again.
9 hours, 3 runs, less than 2 minutes driving, all in under 15 minutes :(
I'm not so keen on the new format personally....
Amen to that! Lots of standing around for ~2 minutes seat time. :?Quote:
