I'm waiting to hear back from one of our club members as his response will determine which Fiero I'll be registering and racing.

Again...need to email and advise them you plan to attend, here is the details from the PCA web site, I already confirmed Fiero attendance, they have a soft spot for us: The BC Corvette Club would like to invite the Porsche Club members to our Autocross event on Saturday, Sept 25 at the BC Driving Centre in Pitt Meadows. Please pre register with Vic Nightscales via email at vnightscales@netscape.net or phone 778-593-1180. We have just purchased new timing equipment to ensure a smooth event, and will be able to provide lots of runs. We will restrict the total number of entrants to 50 and the price payable on Saturday morning will be $40 per driver. Vic |

Brian, when you pre-registered, did you have to state what you were driving (as in model and year)? As I said earlier, I don't know which Fiero I'll be driving quite yet.

Okay, I sent off an email to Vic a couple of minutes ago to pre-register. I just didn't say what I would be driving exactly, other than it would be a Fiero. [EDIT] Actually, I didn't even say I'd be driving a Fiero. I just said I was member of West Coast Fieros of BC. Maybe I should enter and drive my '94 Hyundai Elantra with the fart can exhaust.

All he cares about is having an idea who and how many as he only wants 50 drivers...

Is this club happening or is this club happening! We've got the old guys and the young guns and everyone in between stepping up to the plate. Johnny, love the 'chute!

If the Bassman is happy, we're all happy.
It has only taken me a few years to have a driveable Fiero!

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

Johnny Boy...Really happy you are coming out...let me know if there is anything I or anyone can help with. If I may, not everyone has to buy a helmet, if you do HJC motorcycle helemets are fine for a bike shop, just make sure the codes as we have listed are good, and a open face you can get for around $75. Or...share the purchase, or borrow from someone:) |

If Colby wasn't going to participate in this particular autocross, I was going to drive my GT so that I'd have the extra ponies to shut you down. However, Colby is coming out (which is what I was hoping he'd decide), so together we're going to do our best to demonstrate what the mighty duke can do against those nasty Vettes. Obviously we're hoping for a tight course!
Agree 100% Come on Dave, you know you want to do it! Don't miss out on all the fun! And that applies to everyone else in the club as well. Join our heroic Fiero Force, battling against the evil Corvette empire!

Thanks Brian, I'll need all the help out there, I'm going to check around for a helmet and borrow one? I won't need a G-SUIT that's for sure, also finally going to prove my point... 'It doesn't have to perform, just has to look good" |

Brian, for those coming out for the first time who might be concerned about having to buy or borrow a helmet, do you know offhand whether the Corvette club will have free loaner helmets available at their autocross event the same as the Porsche club did? I'd just hate to see anyone not come out and try this for the first time simply because they're worried about the helmet requirement issue. And in regards to the "danger" of autocrossing (for anyone who's never been to a track and is wondering)... If the truth be known, there's actually far less chance of needing a helmet while driving on an autocross track than there is on a public road! I'm not kidding. Seriously, I sometimes wonder what the actual point is of requiring a helmet while autocrossing? The worse that can happen out there is that you're going to slide and knock over a small plastic pylon!

Let's discuss this tomorrow about who needs assistance and helmets. I really don't know if the Corvette guys have loaners, I doubt it...Kerstin actually will be out now knowing the Fiero force, but also to support John, she was so happy to know he was coming out...she has a soft spot for you I think:). I will email Gary and ask so we know...otherwise we can split up our group and share...we also have time and again, call arond the bike shops, this is the time of year where they may have some sales. The helmets are required because it's competition timed sessions, if this was training it would be different...there are still obsticles like the fence and other peeps:)...lol, and we all have to follow the SCAA rules. |
