This is a double-pad event. The potential is there for some fast stretches with all that room. Will the rookie Glenn come out again to prove his surprising performance at the BCCC event wasn't a fluke? Will young-dad Harrison get another day away from the baby? Will the mysterious Charles come up from Bellingham? Will old man Brian come out of retirement for this event? Will "lean way over and reach for the radio while autocrossing" Gary make Brian wished he stayed home? Will lead-foot Colby get his car back together in time, and not break anything for a few days? Will the boy wonder Tristan ever get Gretchin running again? Answers to these and many other questions may (or may not) be answered on Saturday, May 31st. Come out and witness the intensity of hot Fiero on Fiero action... with a Porsche 914/6 thrown in for good measure. To save a few bucks, remember to register before the end of this Thursday, the 15th.

Ok. I am registered. I have been working my cars steering hard, as i
drive to work with the car (on a sunny day here and there) to build arm strength for that hard steering. I have an ace up my sleeve this year with a modified OMP racing seat, so no radio changes for me. ...been also tweaking the new fuel injection for that extra bit. I am really hoping for some decent weather. Gary |

I may show up to watch and be a spectator. I'm okay with
signing the waver but not until I get there. Deadline is today. |

Please shoot some video! We love to see (and hear) our cars racing around the course from a spectator's perspective.
The liability waiver is standard practice at functions such as this, and yes, you just sign the waiver once you're at the track. It allows you to not only be on site, but also to be able to go along for rides as a passenger. Edited by Patrick |

It'll be great to see Allan at the track again. Next thing you'll be announcing is that Riley will also be coming out (in his new car?) as part of Team Johanson.

I installed lowering springs this week as well as stiffer shocks and struts. Obviously feels a whole lot different! The front of the Formula has dropped at least two inches from factory height. Really looking forward to this event. Just a week away now!

Brian, are you coming out this Saturday? It would be great to see you at the track again. You're going to be rusty!

And it looks like a perfect day for autocross. I was at the track late yesterday afternoon. Rich's car is off the road, so my Formula was the "mule" to test the layout. All I can say is that the course is... fast. There might be a need for 3rd gear in one stretch! So fasten your seat belts, we're gonna be moving today! Edited by Patrick |
