I certainly want to make it but I have several things working against me...and it's not all Brad. Last I heard my brakes were crap and I haven't gotten an update yet...then there is my right shoulder that still hurts like the devil...that'll teach me to sleep wrong...then this class I'm in really sux. They changed my weekly class schedule from Thursday through Wednesday to Tuesday through Monday. So now instead of having until Sunday and Monday to do homework, it's now due by Saturday. They really screwed me.
If I can get my homework done by Friday night and if I can raise my arm above my belly button without (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) I'll be there... |

Tempted - but SCCA has one same day at Oakland Coliseum....40 min drive vs 2+ hours....really would rather do the Marina but that means a REALLY early wake up. Jury is still out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

i was planning on werking on it tonight (@ scotts)! rear is fine for now, won't run the spacers in the front (need longer studs first) so i need to remove the dust cover from the shocks ... then there is the brake issue. also need to make a bracket for the msd box, i don't think tech will like the fact that it's just lying in the hell-hole ... but i have plenty of time to get this done before the event, so, right now it looks like i will be able to make it!

Marina is a little far for me and Sundays aren't good. Five hours of driving down and back plus 8 hours of standing around all day is a little too much for me.

I'm definately in!
For all who are on the fence, here's some reasons why Marina is the BEST. 1. More runs then any other venue- 11 timed last event, plus an hour of fun runs. 2. Best surface in Nor Cal. 3. Fun group, very easy going. Friendly. Safety oriented. 4. Very twisty, technical courses- 45-60 second times. 5. Popular with the 914 crowd. 6. Catered lunch-you order, they deliver. 1 hour lunch break.It doesn't get any better. KT Oh yeah, and when you spin out...nevermind. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

Sorry, I'm tied up that day & the next with SCCA AXs....and I actually have a car that runs.....or it did the other day (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
I won't get down to CA till June 11 for that AX at Mather Field. Don't let them SCCA guys scare you, come play. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

huh? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) it takes me a little bit over an hour to get there from oakland. especially on a sunday morning, with no traffic ... coming back in the afternoon is usually a bit longer, on a bad day, 2 hours, on a good day 1 1/2 ... that makes 3 hours total driving time. i don't consider that bad at all ... or, you can do what trekkor does, get there the night before and stay at the hotel right at the beach!

Well, I'm at least 1/2 hour from Oakland so that's 4 hours of driving for me. Last time I went down to Monterey on a weekend it was 2+ hours down and 3+ hours back. If Marina was on Saturday though I'd probably be in.
So what is up with GGR people? This last AX at Alameda was the second GGR AX in a row where most people left early and there wasn't enough people left who wanted to do fun runs. 8 runs isn't enough for me. |

With all my excuses, people are going to start thinking I'm a coward.
I'm leaving for vacation on Saturday... Looking at how Nathan has been driving lately, maybe I am scared! Have fun peeps (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) |

And he was doing all those corners on three tires! Wait 'till he gets those new rear springs and more negative camber. |

My Yoko's like that surface and I'm defending my home region honor which is good for a 1/2 second. I'll be there.

OK...the jury has just been seated and the foreman has read the verdict.....GUILTY (of driving 2 hours vs 40 minutes)...I will skip the Oak-town fun fest and head for the Marina Mania with you guys (gals). Look forward to meeting ya'll....hope I dont forfeit my bail if I kill a couple cones. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Same Porterfields as you and new discs will be installed on all 4 corners tommrrow. I was tired of going through corners with fronts locked up. I have been compensating by dropping the clutch early to try to help lock up the rears in my past two AX so it will be nice to brake properly now. |
