James,

I don't know if you have read any of your e-mails, but Mike S. had one change I needed to make on page 1 (registration) of the flyer (adding car numbers). That change has since been made and needs to be replaced with the updated flyer on the website (I just e-mailed the new one to you guys). I dunno if this is something only Brad can do, because while I have been able to put the new one up, I have not been able to remove the old one myself.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE that I get the text/wording for page 2! As I stated in my e-mail, I will be having surgery Friday morning and will have limited access to my computer (read: cannot climb stairs). I want to get all the graphic work and editing squared away so that you all can upload it and go.

Thanks. [:)]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [\:D/] [\:D/] [\:D/] [\:D/] [\:D/] [\:D/] [\:D/] [\:D/] [\:D/] I'm there, here I come! It's going to be fun!!! Good job everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [;)] [:D] [:)] [B-)] [:">] [:p] [\:D/]

I have a version that I have been working on but James said he was doing one also. I don't want to have to conflicting items so if James has his ready to go lets use it.

On the other hand, it isn't absolutely imperative that we have this to start registration. We can send it out in the registration confirmation email.

The reason it's absolutely imperative to me is because I will probably be out up to 2 weeks! I wanted this done before I am incapacitated.

[LilRedCorvette]

*UPDATE*

I had to move the event to the distant past and made up a new one with the corrected flyer in order to make this work. Please be sure to re-register on the NEW event. Simply click on the link in James' post and click 'register for this event'.

Brad...please remove the old HPDE event so as not to confuse anyone. Thanks.

[Black396]

I just sent the instructions to Laurie, Ralph, George, James and Andrej as an email attachment. Please review and get your suggestions to Laurie ASAP!

[wazzzup]

Mike,

Didn't receive it yet? [:-/]

[Black396]

I sent it to whiskeytahoe.

Well, you'll see the text anyway, because I just finished this and e-mailed it out to you all. I used the whiskeytahoe account as well.

Mike...there is a part that says "If you would like assistance, go to the following link for a list of free tech stations." but it doesn't list the link. Do you have it? I'll need to add it on.

Thanks!

[wazzzup]

I got yours Lilred. Looks good. [:)]

No, that was a line that I missed when I was cutting stuff. Just delete that line.

Any more registrations coming in? If not it might be a good idea to open it up to other NCCC members. Maybe an email to NVCC EVERYONE telling them registration will be opened to NCCC members starting March 15th...

Current paid participants as of 3-4-5:

Novice - 3
Intermediate - 2
Advanced - 1
Instructors - 6 (cost free)

I'm been emailing with three more interested partied, all Novice or Intermediate status, but that has slowed down since we first opened it up. I've said to Jack to go ahead and mail his in.

I'll put out an email to the club mailing list informing them of progress. I'd feel better if we opened it up to every one sooner than later....

Yeah, 6 paid is a long way from 45. Sounds to me like we either need to light a fire under NVCC members or open it up to everyone else.

[wazzzup]

How many of the instructors are in the club? Seems as though we would have had more advanced drivers by now in the club also. Who all in the club is instructing? Bob Compton is the only advanced person that has paid so far? Correct? [:-/]

Rick, Mike S, Ralph and I are club instructors. Not everyone is into the instructor thing... Bob C is the only advanced participant so far, Don K may be another.

The email to the club list worked pretty good, I got 5 more prospectives saying they will send in their apps. Also recieved another paid participant today, don't know them, but I have to contact them because they didn't specifiy which group they wanted to be in.

I guess what I learned about this club in one year's time is that people seem to wait till the last minute to respond to a deadline. It's unfortunate for those planning stuff, but that's the way it is, and I was told to get used to it. Oh well...not worth worrying over I guess. [;)]

Believe me, I can sympathize with the frustrations...

[Black396]

That was my point when I said that March 23rd was to long to leave registration closed.

People knew as soon as the original email went out whether they were going to attend or not. If you give people time to procrastinate, they will.

[urtoslo]

Getting emails promising to send me $$$, that email I sent out did did pretty good. I'll send another email to the club this week with updated totals. [:D]

KOOL! I'm glad to hear the emails are coming in. I think it would be great if we could fill all of the slots internally.

{on soapbox}
I'm not frustrated really. There isn't any reason why we can't have all 45 slots filled by the end of April. Three weeks for the NVCC (14 Mar), three weeks for all NCCC makes it 4 April. Open it up to everyone else we should have the $ to pay for the track by 30 April.

It also gives us plenty of time to go over the registrations to decide whether they should be moved up or down in group and give our classroom instructor the make up of the students for her classroom instruction.

If people want to be anal amount the $ & pennies fine, then apply they need to be anal about the rest of it as well.

Mailed check today. Made check out to Andrej Balanc... didn't see the part about making it to NVCC. Hope that's ok!

Looking forward to this.... I will be in the Novice group.

Anyone know a good place to get a helmet?? Any requirements other than has to be Snell 95 rated?? What kind of damage can I expect to the wallet area.. [:(]

OG Racing (http://www.ogracing.com/) in Sterling.

Mine was $250 plus tax...I didn't have many choices as I needed an XX-Small but I consider myself lucky for getting one that inexpensive. They start there and go up in price.

Also got lucky there with a FIA - SFI 3.2 A/5 firesuit (not required but a good idea to have) for $500.

I prefer the open face versions... I assume that SA00 is a newer cert than Snell 95... true?? Does the word clueless strike a familar note.. [#-o]

[Black396]

I prefer the open face versions... I assume that SA00 is a newer cert than Snell 95... true??

True!

A helmet normally has a 'wear out' date sticker under the lining somewhere. Normally the wear out is 5 years from manufacturer date.

Technically speaking all the 95 helmets should be out of date by the time of this event but some SA95 helmets were mancufactured as late as March-April of 2001.

I doubt if you could find a 95 on the shelf but get the newest you can find.


OG Racing has a good selection so you should be able to find the style you like in a size that fits.

[urtoslo]

Yes, sir! You have a spot right in front, next to the 2006 black Z06 that I'll be picking up shortly. You Da Man! Want me to get you one too? [:D]

OG Racing in Sterling is good for lots of racing stuff. I've got an order there for a Bell X3 (size 7.5), as well as a HANS device.

You have a little time to shop. Try Racer's Wholesale: http://www.racerwholesale.com/

The money you save can be spent somewhere else. Especially after Andrej picks up the Z06. [:D]

I'll bring some flyers out to OG racing next week.. As much as I'd like to do it now, I'd hate to fill up the novice slots before we give our guys first chance. We may incurr the wrath of the other NCCC clubs, but I hope they understand our position (if we sell out the novice slots before we open it up to them).

[wazzzup]

I figured you would give the NCCC guys a week or so to respond at least, but that's your call. [;)] I think we will be all right [;)] . Personally I would like to see this thing fill up with Vettes. [:D]

As of 3/18/2005, we have 11 novices, 3 intermediates, three advanced and 6 instructors registered and paid up! I'm expecting a couple more novices tomorrow (Saturday) and another one on Tuesday's shop night. [B-)]

Registration opens up to other clubs on Wed March 23 and will remain open until the event fills up. [:)]

Well, if the intermediats don't start enroling I guess that's more room for novices. [;)]

[wazzzup]

Ok boys, and girls! Had to bring this back up! The time is coming near when registration is going to open up to the regional folks, and everyone else. If you are in the club, and plan on attending you need to get your registrations in ASAP, or you will miss out! I know the novice class is filling up quick so if you want to run at Spook this year, and are not signed off you need this class! Plus, from what I have seen you will not find a class of this level for this price anywhere. [;)]

[BlackStripes2000GT]

Well... are Mustangs allowed? [:p] .. at least you are gonna see one there [:D]

I just sent the $. I wonder if i should be in Novice or Intermediate ? .. i better send an email to Andrej.

see you there..!

Got your cash, Hector. You shouldn't be in Novice, I'll put you into Intermediate.

Registration is open until the groups fill up. It takes 15 registrations to fill a group. I haven't had a chance to go over the registrations for folks in Novice (having a busy week/weekend), but they are either already closed or the next one to send in the reg/payment is going to close it. I'll notify folks if they end up in a standby status. Still space in Intermediate and Advanced.

Tell everybody registration is now open to all cars and clubs! Mustangs, Miatas, Porsches, BMWs and NCCC Corvettes!

Many thanks to all those that have sent in their registration! [=D>]

[Black396]

Just talked to Hector and it looks like we will have a number of Mustangs signing up. [:D] [B-)]

There aren't too many more advanced drivers in the club. Other than Woodsie and Jim Beaupre, they are signed up as instructors or Advanced. I

We should start seeing some registrations come in from the other NCCC clubs now.

[z06racing]

Sounds like alot of fun! Keep in mind, anyone needing an NCCC High Speed license from me who completes the school to his/her instructor's satisfaction, will receive it at the track.

This school, any of the FATT schools, and the two being held at POCONO by CVCC & CCNEPA are the only way to get your NCCC license to compete for example in the SPOOK in OCT.

See everyone in JUNE..... [\:D/]

MIKE: 2000 posts? [:-"]

We have one more registration in, from a Crossroads guy.

Dave Walter had to cancel out of instructing, so we're down one instructor from last week.

Just got an email from the Regional Executive, wondering if K&K will cover us because the school is on a Monday. Am checking into this and will let you know.

Apparantly our rule book states we can only have events on weekends, and K&K goes by our book. However, one of the PA clubs has a DE on Memorial Day Monday, so I think we're ok. But I'm still checking.

[Akcelr8]

Dave Walter had to cancel out of instructing, so we're down one instructor from last week.

OK, Now I'm starting to get worried. I'm not sure that we'll get any PCA instructor support so I think we need to work a backup plan. Are there any other sources for instructors that we haven't tapped?

I can probably get John Folkerts too. That will make 11. I can start calling and emailing other NCCC instructors and personally requesting their participation. I think we're in good shape here, but will try to get 15 instructors lined up by the end of next week.

Spoke to K&K this morning, they have no problem with our Monday event. I've emailed the the ER executive with this and hope this issue is resolved.

Got a paid application from Mustang guy that has a supercharger. Are we going to require a rollbar/firesuit if that supercharger is not stock?

Just my opinion but I wouldn't think so. None of the other sanctioning bodies (SCCA, NASA, PDA, TracQuest) require that and since we aren't running any timing equipment, it shouldn't really be an issue.

[Akcelr8]

Great Andrej,
I didn't mean to get everyone in a panic, but just wanted to make sure that if we didn't get the required number of instructors we had a contingency plan.

[B-)] ANDREJ I will bring my sunglasses as I know you will not allow any SNOW to fall on YOUR track. [:))] How was the trip home last nite?


It was bad enough getting snow at Mid-Ohio on April 1st, but I heard you guys just about had it all... Fog, Snow, Sleet, Hail.

Someone needs to tell Dave W. to work on his 'connections' with the weatherman. [:))]

[wazzzup]

Weather around here wasn't too bad. However I wasn't behind the wheel either. You guys have been having rotten luck with the weather this year so far. [X-(]

[wazzzup]

I almost forgot. That's good news about additional instructor, and entrant. [:)]

As you may have guessed, we have gutted the current Advanced group and turned them all into instructors.

Keep those registrations coming!

Edited to move Paul Hertel back to Novice, break Novice into two groups and combince Advanced with Instructors

[wazzzup]

Andej, call me. [:D]

[six_speed]

Andrej

Please move me to intermediate untill you open the 2nd novice group.

Thanks

[wazzzup]

Paul, relax. [:D]
I talked with Andrej today, and we decided on the following.

We are going to offically close the advanced drivers class, and split the novices into two classes along with 1 intermediate group. An official e-mail will be going out this evening on the news, and changes. We feel comfortable with the instructors we have, and that we may pick up in the near future to enable us to open the 2nd novice group. So as of now we have 10-11 open slots for the novice group, and 2-3 open slots for the intermediate group. So if there are any novice drivers that want to register now is the time to get your money in.

Paul had his HS license at one time, so he has had some experience...wouldn't he be intermediate anyway???

[wazzzup]

Laurie, it was his decision to go novice. Anyway [:)]

[LilRedCorvette]

Laurie, it was his decision to go novice. Anyway [:)]

Actually he said 'move me to intermediate UNTIL a novice group opens'. But it doesn't matter now...since now a second novice group has just been opened.

I'm certain he just didn't want to get shut out of the event, since he has some experience and would qualify for intermediate anyway...that's all!

[six_speed]

Yes, I wanted to be in intermediate so that I would not miss the event but I don't want to be in the way of faster drivers thus the move to novice. [;)]

[wazzzup]

Got you taken care of buddy. [;)] [B-)] [:D]

Bringing this one back to the top. Just to let everyone know that we still have 10 open slots left in the novice group. [:)]

We will also be finalizing plans this weekend for everything so we will be keeping everyone posted. [:)]

[wazzzup]

Is there any way to make this a sticky thread to keep this on on top?

[Black396]

Is there any way to make this a sticky thread to keep this on on top?

Done but it will only stay on top in the Circuit Racing Forum. It doesn't have anything to do with the Recent Threads....

[wazzzup]

Hmmmm? [:-?] Brad, is there anyway of changing that? Thanks Mike

[LilRedCorvette]

What about the announcement feature instead???

[Black396]

Announcement doesn't work from the Recent Threads either.

[Black396]

Actually, if you think about it, it makes sense that Sticky and Announcement threads wouldn't stay at the top of Recent Threads.

Recent threads are just that, recent. [:))]

Dumb question here, WTH is the difference between a sticky thread and an announcement thread? Hell if I know...

[wazzzup]

I've seen other web sites that have sections just for sticky threads. Is it possible for Brad to create such a animal on this site?

[Black396]

He could but it really wouldn't do much more than what we already have.

Creating a new forum and then creating a link in the menu bar would work though.

[wazzzup]

OK guys,

We had a very productive meeting yesterday! The course outline is pretty much set. We paired up drivers with their instructors, and several other items were taken care of. Once all the information is put together I will be sending out the packets to each of the drivers, and instructors. It also been brought to my attention that we now have 26 novice, and 13-14 intermediate registered. That only leaves 4 novice, and 1-2 intermediate slots left. The reason I bring that up is because several people have said they are going to register for the school. If we do not have your registration form, and payment you ARE NOT on the list. So get those payments in folks because it is almost full! [;)]

[badaz06]

So the drivers are already assigned an instructor?

[wazzzup]

Yes.

[LilRedCorvette]

Yes.

Any chance of finding out who we are paired with for an instructor?

[wazzzup]

No. Not at this time.
You are with Mr Daisy. So you will be driving Mr. Daisy. [:)] [:p]

[wazzzup]

We ave recieved 2 more entrants in the novice class in the last two days! That leaves 2 slots left for novice, and 1-2 intermediate! WE ARE LOOKING GOOD! [B-)] [:D] [:D]

[wazzzup]

Just heard from Andrej. We picked up another novice. That leaves only 1 novice, and 1-2 intermediate slots left! Looks as thought this school is going to be a sell out boys! [:D]

[wazzzup]

Still need one! [:D]

They sell 100 octane at the big track. Its big bucks. Your better off buying at C and C Performance in Manassas

Thanks Mike. I will remember that.

For this event, i can't do anything since i am going to VIR the weekend before (and use 100oct), and basically drive straight from track to track (not complaining [:D] ) .

I guess we are talking about $7 or so per gallon? (x18 [:(] )

[C5inWV]

Does anyone have a link to specific info for the event? I don't have a registration packet. Is there one? When should we be there? Is there a tech sheet to download?
[:-/]

[Black396]

Gates open at 7:00am. Registration and Tech start at 7:00am.

Instructor's meeting at 7:45. We can probably use all the help we can get at Tech and Registration so the sooner you can get there the better.

Goerge mailed out the info packets so I can't speak for that, but I have the tech sheet handy anyway:

I believe he only mailed them to the students. None of the instructors I have talked to have received anything.

[z06racing]

[ None of the instructors I have talked to have received anything.

I didnt receive one.... thanks Laurie... See everyone monday morning!

[wazzzup]

That is correct. Only the students recieved packets. Why you ask? Well it seems that MOST of the instructors (20 of the 29) did not fill out the information forms so I have no adresses on them, or e-mails. I think Miriam has most of the information on the instructors, and I sent her a e-mail, but I think she is having problems with her e-mail. As Mike mentioned, the gates open at 7am, tech starts at 7am, instructors meeting at 7:45am. [:)]

[DigitalMan]

Ok time for a novice question. I know we are supposed to have everything out of the car, floor mats, basically everything that can come out. Here's my question since I am going to be driving down Sunday night to Winchester so I can more easily get there at 7:00 Monday morning.. is there somewhere to stash things, ie small suitcase or such, while taking your time on the course?

What about the long sleeves? Mandatory? I tend to be a hot body and I would prefer short sleeves. I know small issue but I would like to be comfortable if possible.

One last question, gas.. is there an optimal amount to have in the tank other than enough to get where you need to go?

Sorry for the newbie questions but we all start out without experience.

Looking forward to this a lot!

[DigitalMan]

Thought of another one.

Sunglasses or should I say eye protection in general?

Someone with lots of experience should do a quick post of the TO DO's and the NOT TO DO's for the Novice group coming Monday.

Any takers? [:D]

Just a quick reply and then I'll start working on the TO DO... [:))]

Long Sleeves are mandatory... Sorry but the weather should cooperate.

Sunglasses for around the paddock at a minimum. Most helmets come with a visor but they are often removed. Your call on the eye protection but unless you have one of the larger opening full face helmets or an open face, wearing eye glasses or sun glasses can be a pain, literally.

You will want a full tank when you come on the track. (Especially if you have a C4. They normally have a problem with tank slop and starve from 1/3 down. There are a couple of gas stations on Rt 7 just before turning off onto 632 if you come on the backside (west) of Summit Point. One on the right about a 1/4 mile before 632 if you are coming from the east and one on the right at the intersection of 632 if you are coming from the west.

I always just stash my stuff from the car where I park in the pits. I've never had a problem with something missing when I get back.

There is also the classroom but there may not be a lot of room in there. You'll have to play that one by ear. We can see about that when we get there.

[LilRedCorvette]

Since I have the flyer/admin info/tech sheet all on Photoshop and can print at the touch of a button...do you need me to bring copies of the tech sheet (or any of the other pages)? I can print them out before leaving if that would help take some of the burden off...please advise.

[Black396]

There is always someone that forgets something. It probably would be a good idea if you printed off a number of tech sheets. (How many students do we have?)

Consider it taken care of. 48 students total? Bring 50???
