High Speed Auto-x this Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

[six_speed]

I know by now that all of you have heard about this. The weather forecast looks good. So who coming and who's running? http://www.geocities.com/six_speed/images/Icons/drivings.gif

[Black396]

I'm planning on running. I'm not sure how fast, but I'll be there.

[wazzzup]

I'll be there. I guess to help unless I get certified between now and then.

[LilRedCorvette]

I will be there and bringing donuts!

Can't run. [:((]

[six_speed]

Is that it? You all suck. [:p]

[wazzzup]

Then certify me so that I can run! Then we see who SUCKS! [:D] [:))] [>:)]

[LilRedCorvette]

Ditto that.

Or make half of it low speed so us losers without HS certs can have some fun, dang it!

[wazzzup]

Yea, what she said!

[GT4me]

Seems to me you might have a few more takers if you made it a low speed event! [[-o<]

There are two things RIGHT NOW that might make some or all of your wishes come true.

1 - Lifecare (the EMT's) are doing the Marine Marathon so they are not available on Sun. However, Hayne is tring to find a replacement.

2 - It doesn't seem that a whole lot of ppl want to do the HS based upon the response to this thread. If this is the case, then we MAY do HS in the AM and low speed in the afternoon.

The HS is my ONLY priority for Sun right now. [:D]

That all sounds fair...

[wazzzup]

I can deal with that. [:)]

[Black396]

Party poopers! [:p]

Hey! I'm coming and bringing donuts regardless. So there!

Hey! I'm coming, and eating donuts regardless. So there! [:D]

[Black396]

I'm just going to eat donuts.



Laurie, you had better be sure there are a LOT of donuts there. [:D]

I can eat a dozen by myself. [:p] You should have seen the amount of pizza that was put away last Sunday. [:O]

[GT4me]

So when will we hear if there will be a low speed event??

I think we need to stick to the high speed event if we get the EMT's. I'll bring both cars if necessary to help pay and I think enought people will show up to run anyway. Those that don't qualify for the high speed need to work to get qualified.

[wazzzup]

I agree with that Andrej. The Big Bannana needs to calm down anyway. [:D] But I'm still eating donuts! [:D]

Yeah, no one ever bothers saying whether they are coming or not anyway. The people that I have heard say they were coming are: Ralph, Andrej, Bob Compton and myself. You can probably count on at least two more with HS licenses.


[:D] and I'm still eating donuts [:D]

[Black396]

ALSO... Has anyone figured out who/what/how we are getting the trailer from Ruritan to ODS?

[wazzzup]

[:D] You better make that 3 dozen Laurie! [:D]

I'm Qualified - Anyone want to let me drive their car?????????

The POS would not work very well on the oval [:(]

I'll be there!

Got it. Getting plain, powdered, cinnamon, chocolate, and glazed...

[badaz06]

We are working on the trailer...unless someone wants to step up and bring it....

[six_speed]

OK. Here is where we are at:

1 - Hayne has not called me back to confirm that he found us some EMT's for Sunday. Does anyone know someone that I can call to get coverage for Sun?

2 - We have a few options for getting the trailer out to the track on Sun but I wouldn't mind someone else to chime in and say that they can bring it out.

As far as I am concerned, come hell or high water we are having a HS event this Sun. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/images/smilies/banghead.gif http://forums.corvetteforum.com/images/smilies/cuss.gif [:D]

For #1 - how about calling the closest fire station and seeing what kind of donation would encourage them to come out for a few hours.
I know its not the best, and they would have to respond to a call, but it gets you an EMT there.

For #2 - I have no truck or I'd offer to pick it up. I'll be in the Centreville / Manassas area Saturday as well if someone wants to loan me one.

[six_speed]

OK. Hayne jsut called and said he has an EMT coming out for us on Sunday and that they have cleaned both the infield and the oval. Hurdle #1 overcome. http://www.geocities.com/six_speed/images/Icons/party.gif

Now, we just need to get the trailer out there and we are set. [B-)] [:D]

[Akcelr8]

I'll be there for either high speed or low. Since we're only turning left (hopefully) we ought to make it 5 laps instead of 3 per session. What do you think? [:-/]

[six_speed]

Nah. I think we should keep it to three laps so we can compare times to the LS auto-x. However, I am going to give you all 5-6 runs per heat so that you can get a feel for the track before you go full bore.

[Black396]

We might need a 'cool down' lap though. Actually just 3/4 around the track to pit in instead of standing on the brakes to make the 'normal' pit in.

Yep, this sound good. I hate to throw the binders on for that turn-one exit anyway. So if I read this right, I got my way...3/4 of a lap to warm up, 3 hot laps, and 3/4 of a lap to cool down. Now, rounding up the 3/4 s and we have 5 laps! [:D] [:D] [;)]

Zoel will be available to take the trailer to ODS, he just needs to know where it is right now and does he need keys to get into it. Maybe whoever has the keys could meet Zoel there on Sunday morning. Call Zoel and arrange whatever!

[urtoslo]

The trailer is at the Ruritan club in Sterling. However, I don't have keys. Zoel can meet me at my house and we can go over together to the trailer. I think we can get the keys from Bob Compton, who also lives here in Sterling.

How are you going to timer the event? The line is high at the start/finish line and you would be getting close to the sensor...

[Black396]

We should be able to set the lights in the guardrails. The receiver at the bottom won't be a problem. The transmitter at the top (outside) of the track will be the one we need to angle down.

[wazzzup]

What time are you getting there around Mike? I'll get there to help you set up.

[Black396]

I'll be there around 10:00, get the car unloaded, etc. We won't be able to get much set up until Zoel gets there with the trailer.

[wazzzup]

That's cool. That will allow me to go for my morning run first. [:@)]

Just don't overdo it. You have a long ways to go for the Ironman, don't try to do it all in one month.

Naa. I usually peak twice a year. Once in June then again in October/November. I'll start leaning down in April and September. I like to get between 6% - 7.5% body fat.

Sounds good. Will we be able to track each individual lap?

I'm not sure. The on-line help says that you can but we haven't tried it in the last two or three versions. We'll have to play with it before starting and test it.

[wazzzup]

Looks as though Mother Nature is going to be good to us today! [:)] Just pulled up the radar, and everything looks great! Just in case I forget to mention it at the track today; everyone have a good time, and be SAFE!!!!!! We do NOT need to be introduced to the guard rail. [;)] [B-)] [:D] [:)]

[Woods977]

MAN was that FUNN!!! and Scary. My upper body is a little sore from the death grip I had on the steering wheel the first two sessions. My third I had the Harnesses on a was able to relax a little. Seperated the Right front tire from all the push in turn two.

[Black396]

I still can't believe what a rush that was! I would like to try it again when the track is a little warmer.

Congrats to Mike 'Circle Track Maniac' Woods and Bob Compton for 1st and 2nd fastest times. [=D>] All I can say is you guys definitely have a set. [:))]

[Woods977]

Mike what were the times for Bob and myself?

[Black396]

Paul has the computer with the final times. He said he was going to post them when he got a chance.

[badaz06]

I may of been the slowest there...but damn...talk about freaking scared!!!

Wow..what a rush!!

[Akcelr8]

You've got to be Fast, Fearless and [B-)] . I have a whole new respect for left-turn racers. Thanks Paul, for giving us the opportunity. What a rush [:D]. You know, if we all got Legends, we could do this all at the same time [>:)] .

Naw, you can teach a monkey to make left turns! [:D] [:))] [;)]

Definitely had a blast and many thanks to Paul for making it happen! [B-)]

[wazzzup]

Even though I didn't get to run the high speed event I had alot of fun watching. [:)] Got some good shots of everyone, and we didn't have to peel anyone out of the guardrail. That's a good thing. [:D]
