Expect the full standard course with Warm-up, Qualifying, and Race both days.

[Todd Tagget]

who's planning on coming ? I just checked the registration list looks pretty dismal in both SM and E-30 .. 

[Ron Alan]

Your favorite crasher! Though I'm sure it will be just day visits...

[Johnny D]

I'm shooting for it Todd, last couple things I need to get completed.

 

Ya, Ron, 1st of the season, newbies, maybe rain, should be interesting.

Greetings NorCal SpecMiata Racers:
We're about to kick off the first race event of the 2014 NASA NorCal Calendar. Some important info below:

Racer Tech Info:
Every race car needs a new annual before it is allowed on track. Do yourself a favor (and the guys in Tech) and try to get your car inspected before the race and not the Saturday before warm-up. Also, make sure your logbook has up-to-date photos of your race car in it. Tech Stations: http://www.nasanorca...ion_racers_tech

Annual Racer Tech - Bring this form filled out and stamped to Tech/Impound to receive you 2014 Tech Decal:

The 2014 Annual Tech Decal goes on the driver's side roof at the A-Pillar. Questions about Tech can be sent to Chief of Tech Hans Dinse hans.dinse@gmail.com

Group A Supplemental Rules:
With exception to rule #3 (the “no moves” rule) all other rules are in effect. Emphasis will be on yellow flag observance – I think Group A did a pretty darn good job last season with respect to not blowing yellow flags – let’s keep it up this next season. The link to the supplemental rules is below:

As was the case last season, Digital Recording Video Cameras with removable memory cars formatted to watch in Windows Media Player (or other Windows-compatible formats) are required in each car and every session is to be recorded.

Teams
If you are planning on teaming this season, make sure you submit a Team Declaration Form to Scott Smith before the start of the season; here's the link to the form: http://www.nasaprora...declaration.pdf

Please NOTE---- Entry closes at NOON 12:00pm on this Wednesday!!! get signed up and avoid the $100 late (at the track) fee.  Click sign up now by 11:59am or you will have to register at the track!!

 

I will be there too...

[Todd Tagget]

Craig,, is there a NEW noise regulation for Sonoma this year ? I heard it went down to 101 db from 103 last year .. true???

[Johnny D]

Good catch, hope I don't get busted. Bring my elbow I guess.

 

SOUND LIMIT:

There is a STRICT sound limit of 101 dBA measured 50’ from the line on driver’s right, apex of T12.  Attempts to fool the meter or lift will easily be detected by the track’s dedicated sound person (they hate that!).  So, please prepare to adjust your muffling system if necessary.  This is the same standard that has been in place for years.

See you there.

[Ryan Wellman]

Great racing this weekend, and of course a great time in the paddock as usual.  Congrats to Drennan for the back to back wins.  

 

Anyone know how Craig Evans is doing after the crash?  I hope he is okay.

[Johnny D]

I heard he's just sore and coming to the next event.

[Mark Drennan]

Great racing this weekend, and of course a great time in the paddock as usual.  Congrats to Drennan for the back to back wins.

Thanks Ryan!  Very happy to have won both days but the red flag for Craig on Sunday was scary...very relieved to hear he's okay.  Both Craig & Kyle were running me down on Sunday so it would've been an interesting and fiercely contested finish if it had gone the distance.  Looking forward to our next event!

[KyleLoustaunau]

I really didnt plan on racing last weekend, but with a last minute offer from Ron to drive his car i couldnt pass it up. So a HUGE thanks to Ron for the car and a HUGE thanks to Kim H for letting me run some good toyos!!! The car was fast off the trailer and didnt make a single change. Also this was my first time driving a 1.8 and now i never want to go back to racing my puny 1.6. Congrats to mark on the sweep. Ya know you really need to stop hoggin that top step of the podium dude...

So here is the sunday vid

[Johnny D]

Congrats to Mark.

Nice drive Kyle. 

 

Big thanks to Mike Haag power and trans, not a missed shift all weekend, perfect !!!

Also to Drago for all his goodies, Thanks you !!
