Way to go Hal!!!

Don't think I can make it due to it being in the middle of the academy.

For those contemplating going... do it!!

This is the best way to learn to drive your car the way it was meant to be driven... fast!!! Plus you get the best track crew there is, the racerfactory crew. That includes top notch instructors, and track workers.

It's going to be a great weekend. :tup:

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwesome. That would be the first opportunity for me to go and check if my car is any good. I am already registered for the Auto-x at dubfest the week before so i will have a hard time to do both but the track event is what i really want. I might even screw the 50 dollars (dubfest) and come to NV only :D :D . My car ,probably, will suck at the track because of the brakes which i will have to work on alot.
So here my Questions:
A) Since it would be my first track event in the states, what do i have to bring (besides money and car) in order to attend?
Any special regulations? who could help me out with detailed questions?
B) Will I be able to do adjustments on my brakes at the track ( No fluid mess involved)?

I am excited

[Mr. Nobody]

Thanks, and I plan on working until I bleed then some more. ;)

Dude, sell your registration spot at dubfest if you have to. Track racing is so muc better.

You need a solid car thats not a pile and can pass a basic tech inspection, and a legit spec helmet.

You can also do all sorts of aintenance at the track. Hell many people will help you do it. Just clean up after yourself.

The racerfactory site is still up and you can get info from there. The FAQ has just about all of your answers.

Thank you:tup: :tup:

[creanium]

Everything Andy said is spot-on. I went to my first track event back in April and I had a BLAST! I'm planning on making this one now that it's on again, hopefully we can get some more Socaleuro representation ...

[cynicalgeek]

Yep, Greenwing and I went with Creanium back in April, and had an absolute blast! We were very disappointed when we got the email about RF.

We really, really want to make this one, but it probably won't happen. The money situation is real tight at the moment with a trip I'm making end of this month, and the one Tracy is making in Oct. On top of that, I don't think the M3 is up to it right now. Even with the low mileage, the effects of age have made themselves apparent after the last event. I need to go through the car and replace all the bushings - she's very sloppy right now, and it's been getting worse. Control issues aside, I'm really paranoid about tearing my rear subframe or diff out, due to the bad condition of the bushings.

We'll cross our fingers that there are RF-like events next year. Like Andy said, if you're even remotely interested in going, DO IT! I was very impressed by how well it was run and how cool everyone is. As long as you aren't an overly aggressive idiot, and your car isn't a danger on a track and can pass tech, just do it. It's not racing, it's a casual atmospere, and you go at your own pace. Just one of those experiences you need to have... :tup2:

[vr6-88]

Is there a section on the RF website which tells me a little about the tech inspection. Wanna make sure my car is well prepared.

[sandiegobmx]

Oh wow...I have a flight to Vegas on the 25th for work stuff. I could definitely just drive out there two days beforehand. So, so, soooo tempting. I'll have to think about it.

[Mr. Nobody]

I help with the texh at the events.

Make sure, you are no leaking any fluids badly. Small amounts fine, but no real leakage, the less the better. Torque your lug bolts, make sure you brakes are good, pads, rotors, and fluid. Sounds stupipd I know, but make sure your seat is secure. Unless you have a cage, use your stock seat belts and make sure the belts are working properly. Tires should have good life left in them. And empty the interior of anything extra before track time. I mean everything, like floor mats, change, misc goods, and anything that can fly if you roll.

:tup:

[fcastle]

How much is the lodging?
How much for a helmet and where to pick up a good one?
Caravan?

If I can swing it, anyone that wants to is welcome to crash at my house on Friday to avoid traffic. I have plenty of parking.
I may bring the toaster. I was just ordering some poly endlink bushings for my front swaybar.

Ohhhh that sounds good. There are def. no fluids leaking and it should be safe. Can i sent you a pic of the interior and you tell me if that is going to be ok???

[Monster8V]

First and formost, this is not a Racerfactory event. RF is closed due to Rich having a baby and no time to run it which I understand.
Were all the same crew as RF, minus Rich. No big deal really.

To run, you need a safe car. Nothing falling off, no leaks, intact seat belt system, a helmet and a secure battery, brakes work.

The tech inspection is not detailed. We only check to be sure the car is safe and it puts another sets of eyes on your car as some people are not mechanically inclined so we do that for you to avoid any on track issues. Its all about you, having fun on the track!

[Monster8V]

Can i sent you a pic of the interior and you tell me if that is going to be ok???


No need. As long as all the loose articles are removed, your fine. They can be a huge annoyance while trying to navigate the track. Its best to take all the extra things out of the car, including the spare and jack ect. Do all that at the track, we all do.

Thank you all,
ok that sounds really good and could be fun:smokem: . I will try to arrange things and by the end of next week i should know whether or not I can make it. I sure want to and look forward to it.

Mr. 88,

Shawn answered your questions spot on. He is also one of the instructors. :tup:

Lodging is usually about $65 a night. but that was always with the racerfactory discount. Without it I have paid $90 before. I don't know if Hal has any lodging details set up.

You can buy helmets online. I don't think you can rent them at the track.

I recomend driving up and crashing in Pahrump on friday evening so you don't have to make an early morning trip on saturday and drive tired on the track.

I will tell Hal to check back on this post.

:tup:

[Gtiguy]

We will have Tech locations in about 3 places , One in SD , One in OC/LA Area. and one in the Murrettia area , Along with the tech the night before and the morning of the event.

this way you can see what is need or not to run on the track events.

I want to make it easier for everyone to come out.

Hotels can vary from 60 to 100 dollars out there, Im working with Pahrump Nugget to get a good deal like Rich does for RF.

We will have a morning Caravan heading up. Will have lunch at Dennys at the top in Hesperia.

[vr6-88]

If everything goes well with this event , I hope to continue the events for next year to help out, I have all the same people to instruct and help out. THe only bad thing is , I may not be able to instruct. .

Trailer. I know this might not be the right place to ask but here my question anyways. Since "U-Haul" does not rent any kind of trailer to a ford explorer and i can't afford to buy one ( unless really cheap) I was wondering if anyone knows where i could get a trailer capable of hauling my little golf???????????

[Gtiguy]

U-Haul won;t I have rented some for Smaller rental companies with no issues.


But Im also purhasing a new trailer for my GTI, Once I find one , I will pass along the details

[Gtiguy]

You can now pay easier with a new Website

Racer Events Website (http://home.earthlink.net/~racerevents)

Credit card or Paypal

[vr6-88]

Thanks. I will try to find a place who will let me rent a trailer.

[Monster8V]

Thanks. I will try to find a place who will let me rent a trailer.


Since I wont be taking a car to the event, you might be able to rent mine. :cool:
As long as its registered, you can use a tow dolly. They work well, cept when you need to back up but while towing, are lighter than a trailer.

[DubJoleo420]

I would love to come out to the track because I am trying to engineer my car to eventually race and I'm a beginner so I could use and would LOVE some track time. Unfortunately I'm gonna be out of town those days:( . I am bummed to miss out on this event. I actually saw an in-car cam of an '86 GTI running this track and it looked SUPER fun!! I hope you all can keep running these events because I know that many people including myself will be into them.

[vr6-88]

:) Well that sounds like an offer hehe. PM me with some rent rates please;) .
I don't like the dolly version and I don't know yet if the car will have a valid registration. But it is def. a possibility.:tup:

[Monster8V]

Just a heads up, the main post has been updated! :tup:

[Gtiguy]

New web site for Racer events is now up to make it easier to pay

thanks

Alright i found a helmet which i like. Now, i was wondering if the rating meets the requirements. Maybe you can help with that??? G-Force 650 M2005 is the helmet I am looking at.

[vr6-88]

[Monster8V]

Yes. Hold on.....
http://www.saferacer.com/g650m2he.html


OK, the M2005 is a motorcycle helmet. That would be fine for what we do but if you ever intend to do any Solo2 or regular track events, it will need to be a SA rated helmet.

M standard is for Motorcycle or motorized highway vehicles. M rated helmets are to be used for motorcycles, motorized highway vehicles and also for types of racing that do not require a fire retardant rating. M rated helmets also require a larger eyeport for a wider range of vision.

SA standard ("Special Application") is for helmets that meet the standards necessary to be used in competitive automotive sports and racing and require a fire retardant rating for interior compartment components as well as the helmet shell, shield and chinstrap. SA helmets are also subjected to additional testing including a test which simulates a roll bar impact including penetration and impact tests.
