Anybody going? I missed out on last week due to being at Petit Le Mans. Has anybody run with this company before?

I think I'm going to do it, just need a helmet. Seems pretty cheap @ $199

Ya "the TrackNation" will be there. I will be there either instructing or running grid.
Tracks Unlimited is one of the best and funnest events to attend.
This is the last open track day at the Super speedway.
Friday is a Porsche club only event, and saturday is a High performance driving event.

EVERYONE that hasn't done one of these track events, THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE!
Ask Roscoe, he did his first event at the Nasa event last weekend.
If you've never had your S on a track, then its like owning a race horse and using it to pull a wagon.
Get in now and see ya there.

Oh yeah... It's a GREAT time. If you haven't done it yet, GO! It's a fun track and I am kicking myself for staying on the fence so long.
Truth: I don't look at my S the same way anymore. Feeding the S highway miles is like feeding a Tiger Meow Mix.
For my adrenaline dollar, Track Day > Skydiving! LOL

Do they need corner workers?? I would maybe consider if they did

[bsyeth]

Yes, I am organizing the workers for this event. PM me and let me know if you have any flagging or track experience.

And a heads up to my other workers, contact me if you can work this one... Im trying to contact everyone over the next couple days.

[trich101]

[zacha79]

Yes, this was good stuff, you gotta watch his reaction at the very end!

[GeminII]

Hahaha! Yeah, I had to regroup after this one! FYI: Cheeseburger before a lap with Brian = bad idea.

[ledhed]

The one thing keeping me from pulling the trigger is adding in helmet cost - I just dropped my "fun money" on Petit Le Mans. Anybody know of anywhere I can rent a helmet?

[zacha79]

i have a Bell helmet for sale. its a large. i wouldn't mind renting it out for the day...and if you want to buy it by the end of the day, then i wouldn't be mad.

i will just be there saturday so i could bring it then

[ledhed]

Well, thanks to Zacha, I'm going. I'm glad I'll at least get to experience this track before the close.

Is it reccomended to run slightly higher tire pressure?

Yes, come out with about 36 lbs. That way you can always let some pressure off, and it will help you from rolling out the side walls so bad.

[ledhed]

I can't find a start time on this thing. Anybody have one?

[bsyeth]

Just be there about 7:00am
See you there

[zacha79]

makes sense. and brian, i got that momo seat installed. definitely not a plug and play seat. the shoulder wings were very wide and i had to trim the left side. also it is on a custom bracket that i put together. now that its in, it fits great and feel great as well. i think it may be a bit big for you though but you can try it out saturday

[GeminII]

I'm gonna have to miss this Sat. Hope you guys post up how it goes.
I hope you guys have a great time. Ledhed, ride with Brian for a few laps.

[ledhed]

7AM it is!

I am extremely excited and I'll ride with anybody with any skill level.

For ride alongs, I now require all passengers to agree to filming with a GoPro... facing them

[zacha79]

well i never had an "aftermarket" rail for that aluminum seat i had. so it may still work with one of those rails. but the $30 in materials from Ace was alot easier than $100+ for one of those other rails. i think the biggest thing is the shoulder wing width. but i know alot of guys have to trim that to get some seats in the S
