I'm gonna post this again for those who may have missed it. Time grows short.
A bit of info:
Registration begining March 10 here: http://www.pca.org/parade/2006/
I may be mistaken, but to register, you have to log on here: http://www.pca.org/news/pcr.html
Now listen up, you cannot sign onto the PCA site and register on the same day. You need to get the sign on done before the 10th.
You need to have your PCA membership current.
You *need* to register that first day....the 10th.....`
I've been told that the Parade seldom sells out..... Hershey
was an exception. JIC, if you wanna go, get signed up that first day.
Be sure to plan on staying over for the track/AX stuff on Saturday following the Parade.
The Parade AX course will be about 25-30 sec in the Pro
Pits, exiting onto the main straight about 200 yards from the chicane, 360 deg around the chaicane, then your off to the
back stretch of turns 4 thru 8.....with just a few cones to ruin the racin' line
Track map here: http://www.portlandraceway.com/
I'm planning on it. Re-upped my membership but, I haven't got my card yet so I can't log in to PCA
I probably will come down for Sat and stay over for the AX Sun. I might see if I can get out of work Fri too.
Any suggestions on where to stay.
Dave

Well, maybe I'll take some vacation then. Guess I should have checked the PCA website first. I still have a few days left if my 2 bosses go for it. #1 boss = wife, #2 boss = receptionist. Being self employed is a lie.
Dave
Ok JP, now to complicate matters. I am guessing that we need to "class" our cars when we register online on the 10th. For those who haven't spent hours with the "2006
Complete PCR's" (39 pages, found located in your second link above) this could be difficult.
Probably should figure that out now.
Am I correct in assuming that I (and anyone else with a six conversion) must run "modified" with the big dogs, like you? Suspect Dave's car will not be so simple, but maybe he is modified too. How about some advice?

M4 huh? No trophy in my future. The real challenge, can I avoid last in class. Probably not.

Don't think I could convince anybody that my 2.7 "came from" a 914. Oh well, my car looks fast. Need to start coming up with excuses for the driver.

Maybe I look at this a different way. I just want to do the best I can. I really don't care what class I run. I'll win if there are enough DNFs. Everytime I run I want to do a little better. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. Not much talent but, plenty of effort. Truth is the car probably will always be the better part of the team but I'm gaining on it.
Dave
Say its a 2.4 aka 916, give yourself a fighting chance

I understand they put a few 2.7L R spec engines in the 916.....but therein lies the rub....916, not 914.
914s are listed as 914/4 & 914/6...no 916.
Picky suckers......
ya parade autocross , saw a guy protest rolled fenders on a guy's car, funny thing is his fenders were rolled also
Seriously, I could not care less about where I finish. My only point in raising the issue was to alert people that they may need to know the correct class for their car when they register. March 10 may be a little late to try to figure it out. However, I don't suppose anyone will protest a car that finishes last!

That was my view ,but inspector detector found a hairline crack. |

Suppose I go take my ass kickin in Improved 1 on Thursday and don't complain can I come run Saturday with a second driver or do both of us have to get our asses kicked?
It seems to me the carrot is the Saturday AX. I'm sure I'd enjoy hanging around the Parade AX but, I'd just be a field filler at best.

Ok
I guess I'll read the rules. Time to download the PDF.
Dave, Professor Stein always gives such long answers. I'm thinking you can join the Parade AX and you and son can play on Saturday. Only issue will be the price of admission. Sounds like we both get to chase the big dogs.
Yep M 02 for me. Compression ratio sealed the deal. I bumped it up more than 1 point. Oh well. One nice thing about AX, since there aren't any cars near you, you can't tell how bad your ass is getting kicked until you are done.
Dave
My thoughts exactly. Lots of noise and dust, looks fast, only the clock knows. And it's fun.
I think we'll have a lot of company in Mod.
Dave, Jim, Gary & I are just the start.
I'm hoping some of the CA hot dogs show...Like Randal, Steve,
A Byholder, maybe Bill in his 9eleben?, TTOD Trekor?
Of course, THE big dogs will be there to keep us humble.
Did anyone besides me sign up for the Parade today?
If not, there's still time. If so, I hope to see all youz' guys at the AX.
I also hope that if you're comming, you did the volunteer thing for the AX. We need experienced guys & gals out shagging cones & flagging. We'll prolly be setting up on Tuesday afternoon and could use help there also.
Didn't sign up as i'm not a member in good standing apparently.
But will be there as a volunteer.
Signed up and volunteer for Wednesday. Looks like we all run at 3 pm on Thursday. Guess I'll be looking for a place to crash (oops not a good choice of words). Edit sleep
Dave
I am entrant # 484A .....for asshole.... or the A list.
Prolly the latter
JP
I'm right after your asshole # 485A. Damn that's not a pretty thought.
Dave
I'm in the Asshole club too........
#213A
Man you guys have me worried. I sign up in the displacement classes, as I only saw 914/4 listed.
I registered as M05, 3200cc and over.........Oh, now I get it, that's the second highest class, gonna be some fasties, just no turbos.
Pamela is in M05 ladies
I'm 100 bigger (older?) than Gary, 313A. If it is done as when I last attended in '02 we will be assigned these 3 digit numbers as our car # for all events. They gave us stick on numbers to place in center top of windshield when our cars were tech'ed.
Gary, not that I want you in my class, but a 3.2 is only 3164cc's. As I read the rules that means MO4 (3199 or less). You can play with me and JP I think. JP, do you agree?
Ayup, that's the way I read the PCRs.

Can you take a look at some of my old tax returns?
Dave
Ya know Gary, it really don't matter......when you roll up next to one of them monster slick tiared sumbitches....An ass kicken' is an ass kicken'......the mantra of we field fillers
Damn JP I'm gonna remember that

I hear a sandbagger talkin'..........field filler my ass!
I started filling out the info they wanted at 5:00 PST.
by 5:20 I was just starting to get the hang of the navigation and had to leave for wurk. I didn't finish till I got home.
That thing was not intuitive....then again maybe I'm just dumber than a hammer
It took me half the morning. I wondered if maybe I was joining the army. Still not sure I got it right.
Took me about 40 minutes............the first run.

JP...
I registered today. My 7th Parade. If accepted Joy and I will be at Parade and we are planing to do the Saturday autocross as well.
BTW... this is a great situation. Towing for so many miles I am glad that I will get more then just three runs.
Oh yeah... Class M1 just like in 2002 (Idaho) when I first began to run the car.
Steve
Steve
If you are trailering from Sacramento you must be one of the ass kickers . Tell us about your car. We have to find someway to get all of the non-club guys together there.
Dave
Yes, Dave, Steve is one of "them".
I still have black & blue lumps on my ass from last time I ran
against him. Size 11, me thinks.
The "After Parade AX" came about when someone noticed the track wasn't spoken for that day. A DE & AX seemed like a gud plan.
If you go here: http://www.oregonpca.org/
Click on autocross, then pre-registration, you can sign up for a spot. I don't know what to expect for attendance at the event,
but I would like to keep it to under 100 drivers. Parade attendees have first dibs should that become a problem.
Ok, I'm ready
Dave
[QUOTE]I just want to stay with in a couple of seconds of the mighty JP on my skinny little tired, narrow bodied, needs more suspension, night time and most weekends project.
I think we have more than one sandbagger in the tent!
A bit more info:
There are 2 DE days, Friday & Saturday.
So, 2 Axs & 2 DEs in 4 days. Drive till ya drop.
Signed up for it all. My masochism knows no bounds. Ass is gonna be really sore.
