Indeed. Might be a handful trying to plant that many ponies mind you.

Hot off the PCA site...July 31st I came in 12th out of 62 drivers, and 18th on August 1st with I think 50+ drivers...Not bad for a Fiero, I am very happy with the results...I know there is more that David & John would like to do which we will in time, I want my V710 slicks back, I can shave so much time off with that tread...thanks David & John for getting the car on the road, David busted his ass on this car...Cheers buddy July 31st results - sorted by best raw time.

Heh, my car's lack of power really shows on Sunday's results, but I was just 2.111 seconds away from my uncle driving my car. I'm pretty happy with that, considering how much more experienced he is, and if I hadn't messed up my last run I would have been even closer.
I'm looking forward to next weekend, I may co-drive the 914-6. I haven't decided for sure yet though. |

Ah, I thought it was $40 per car. Brian, my offer still stands if Tristan is co-driving your car then.
Yep, Frankie and I will both be there to evaluate the boy wonder.

Patrick...I gave up on him driving, too many excuses, but I need confirmation so we can register him properly, etc...I think having him make it out will be good, his comfort level seems to be a passenger this time out...Tristan, where are you at on all this:)

Brian, what's involved in being registered as a passenger? I'd love to be a passenger in someone's car for a run. (I'd rather be driving of course, but I'll wait until I can attend an event without my canine sidekick before I get behind the wheel.)

Nothing, if you are a novice you cannot have a pasenger unless they are instructing you like I could as a senior driver. There are loaner helmets or bring one if you have it, has to be SA2000 (Snell)...that's it. For most events there are 3 run groups and those would consist of 3 runs, then the afternoon = 6 runs. Now no driving if you don't work the course is a rule, hate thos lazy asses!, Group A is on track, B working, C break...then rotates, etc.. PCA we had only 2 groups which was too much, as a worker we were out for almost 1.5 hours standing and running down cones, etc...lol...hope Sunday is better. |

Sure, we'll try it again, hopefully we can both get there in time this time. Depending on how the weather is, my dad and brother will be going again, and I'm pretty sure my uncle is going too. On the passengers... I don't think they enforce that rule, this is actually the first I've heard of it. Me and my dad rode with each other as novices. |

I just worked out that I got 22MPG for last weekend's driving, my dad did 10MPG in his car. One upside to driving a slow car I guess, and I probably would have gotten closer to 25 if it weren't for all the idling.
See you on Sunday! |

Good morning...WTF Mother Nature!!!...lol...a sprinkle and weather channel says DRY For those who were thinking of coming out (Never did hear from you Tristan), the registration style of PCA, we may not have many show...means Lots of runs for us If you do show, bring an umbrella, coffee and come watch many learing how to drive in the rain...lol Cheers, Brian |
