November 23rd at Sonoma Raceway.
Trackmaster's Racing is once again hosting a fast paced a/x test day. http://trackmasters-racing.com/index.cfm?f...amp;event_id=75 Limited to 60 drivers to maximize seat time. Passengers welcome and free to ride along all day! Our usual format: Small courses in the morning that will be connected in the afternoon to form one large course. Expect to see features common in every typical competition course. We will also set up a large skid pad exercise in a remote location for added car control practice. There will be a few instructors on hand to assist, ride along and coach as time allows. During the lunch break we will have a 20 minute low speed parade session on the road course and an optional classroom discussion. Water, coffee and juice provided all day at no additional cost. Each driver or passenger must have there own SA2005 or better helmet. We run rain or shine! Cost is $75 each. Any questions? please contact me at trekkor@willstile.com |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) The 914 is down, but I might drag the Z over the hill and see if it autocrosses... It is mostly a track-day, hill-climb car...

We have the entire paddock behind the grandstands.
I have you on the helper list, Andy, so you do not have to pay, KT This post has been edited by Trekkor: Nov 21 2013, 11:03 AM |

As i told Trekkor last night, I will not make it. This is one of those times it sucks to be the boss. I came to work yesterday at 9am, was supposed to be here till 9am today, then got a sick call. I'll be here till Saturday morning at 9am... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

We had a fantastic day.
The skid pad/figure 8 was very well received. Also we got to enjoy watching a '67 VW double cab Bus run the course. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net-1413-1385317205.1.jpg) I brought out my '69 VW LeMons Bug (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net-1413-1385317206.2.jpg) Everyone got loads of runs and a full session of parade laps. I led the group in my F-350! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net-1413-1385317206.3.jpg) Hope to see you for TMR a/x #13 in '14. It would be fun to have an all 914 run group with a BBQ afterwards at the track. KT |
