I think they try to stick to the schedule.

The drivers meeting they usually say, ok you'll have so many laps.

Half way sign, etc.

They're not bending over backwards but they do try for you to enjoy/get the most the time.

Running during the middle of the day, do we need mufflers anymore??

REMINDER: This is a 90dB day... You do need a muffler...

Johnny is probably referring to the time of the day by which the sound booth is not manned anymore -> This is at your own risk!

[Johnny D]

I just asked because SCCA normally post this, but this isn't SCCA and this isn't normal so...

ALL GROUPS MUST MEET SOUND WINDOWS
90 dbA: 8:30 – 9:00; 4:30 – 5:00
101 dbA: 9:00 – 10:30; 3:30 – 4:30
103 dbA: 10:30 –3:30
If a session runs across two sound windows, the full session will be run at the lower sound window.
 
This is not our sounds windows

Hey do we all want to pit together ?? If so where ? I suggest we do it across from the garages ( to the right as we drive in).. LOT's of room down there, but I"m open to suggestion..

[means45]

Hi Todd, we should try to pit together either to the right side coming in like you said or by turns 3 and4 ?

Did anyone come up with a plan where we could stay for sat night ?.

You going down friday afternoon.

[Todd Tagget]

Yes assuming I get my main seal leak fixed I'll be there Friday afternoon 

[GregHub]

Todd (or others who are arriving Friday afternoon), can I call or text you that afternoon to see whether they're letting trailers in and how late?

 

I'll be coming up late afternoon or early evening, but staying a ways away, so it'd be good to know whether or not I can drop off.

[Todd Tagget]

sure 603 231 4224

[Bad Rusty]

I'll be there Friday afternoon to help some guys already at the track for an event.  I'll post something here if I have any useful information.

[GregHub]

If anyone gets there Friday and wouldn't mind passing info along to me directly, please text or call 415-640-0707. Thanks.

Sorry for not getting back to you guys earlier:

 

The result of the survey ended at a dead 50/50 so no changes to the original plan.

Cool.  Looks like Race practice starts at 11.  I'll aim to be there Sat morning.  No hotel needed this weekend!

[Todd Tagget]

hey guys,, I"m here and there's no problem parking in the paddock ( I did it last night). Also there's a lot of tent space here on my camping site if you need a place to crash...

[fotostars]

Glad you can make Alberto!

We've crossed the 25 cars mark... With last minute show ups, we may have a full house ;-)

 

See you all tomorrow.

Richard.

 

PS: Todd and whoever is there tonight. If you can "picket/cone off" a huge section of the paddock for the race group, that would be fantastic.

Because the 1st session is late morning, I don't think everybody will be there at 7:00a so having so area reserved would be nice.

[Todd Tagget]

Hey I dumped my trailer off last night and my RV isn't moving !!! so I can't (LONG WALK from here!!!) but let's everyone park in front of the garages to the right as we drive  in,, There's usually lot's of room on that side..

Great weekend for the local group in no points "fun" racing! 25 cars for what is a HPDE day but the owners(NCRC)gave us 3 sesions each day(prac,qual,race,Sat....qual,race,race, Sun)for $125 a day!

 

It was a pride race for P2 as Mark Drennan schooled all as was to be expected! In fact even running by himself you would think he would get off the hammer but no...he ran a lap record(I think)(On RR's and of course not official)unofficially on lap 9 of the 2nd race. He will make it official at the end of July i'm sure(NASA record)! (On a tire other than Hoosier BTW)

 

Tim Weaver is proving very fast in his new car and won both races among the mortals. My son came out 3 years since his last race at Laguna and ironically finished p3 on  Rustys bumper...exact same position as 3 years earlier!  Jimmy Casey was right behind him...awesome job of getting fast very quick on this track! Other than maybe mirrors or nose to tail I dont think there was any contact and 3 all green lap races! 

 

For all you locals...NCRC is a great way to get in great practice at a reasonable price. I think Luc and Dave really appreciated some great clean door to door!

 

On a seperate note...the Toyo RR is proving to be hands down a great value!! 

[Todd Tagget]

LOT"S of fun (even for those of us who blew engines LOL - thanks again Ron).

it would be great to have this kind of a turn out every time,, SO cheap racing for two races on a Sunday!!! 

[Johnny D]

Great time, close racing, price, turn out.

gotbluemilk.com has some good pics, buy some.

The list just keeps growing!

This was a very successful weekend. No Yellows and a lot of smiles.

BIG THANK YOU to Dave and Luc for putting it together below their break-even threshold for this group (They could have sold this time slot to HPDE guys and make more money).

But they love to see clean/close racing and we all delivered.

This was the grid on Race 2
