May 20 and May 21
We are currently in the early planning stages of a track day in Colorado. We are going to ride on the coat tails of a PCA planned event, but the goal is to get enough 914's signed up so that we can have our own run times. The event will take place approx. 2.5 hours SE of Denver at one of Colorado's last remaining tracks. The track fees will be paid for by Howard. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Actually, the cost will probably be in the $125 range for a 2 day event. Timing will take place, so bragging rights are on the line. It would be great if some of you could show up. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) plus, everyone can learn some great techniques from Experienced Porsche Driving Instructors. Accomadations, and our home base, will be at Brant's Birthplace home (literally) in a a small rural part of colorado where the buffalo roam, and the deer and the antelope play. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Bonfires and Beer will be the highlight of the accomadations. Please post if you would like more details. For anyone wanting to spend some time in denver, there are plenty of us willing to host you. (right gint? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) ) Hope you guys can make it..................... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) |

Hey everyone.
just wanted to shout out a reminder that Pre-teching your car is absolutely necessary for the event. You can pay 20 bucks to do it at the track, but I'd strongly advise against that. it would Not be any fun to drive all the way out there and then fail the tech and not get to drive (been there done that) Instead... go the Free pre-tech on 5/10 that way if something is found substandard you will have time to fix it and still attend the event. There will be sessions held in different locations (couple in denver, one in boulder, one in the springs) print out, or at least look at the sheet and go ahead and check every thing yourself. guaranteed they are going to ask you the date of the last brake fluid change, and they are going to look at the thickness of brake pad material you have left. I recommend going down the entire list and fixing or changing everything that is in question. then when you go to the pre-tech you will pass with flying colors and they will sign off on the car. so here is the link to the website with all the maps.. all the times and addressess.. and the printable tech sheets: http://www.crossroadsmotorsport.com/LaJunta2006/pretech.html or: HERE this is practically the last step. get to wrenching so we can all be on the track! brant |
