Hi Folks,

There is a 2 day PCA-GGR Time Trial coming up on the July 4th weekend at Buttonwillow Raceway in Bakersfield. If you've never driven on the track but would like to try it out, you need to attend a ground school before sending in your Time Trial application.

The next ground school is on Saturday June 19th at Paradise Pizza in Fremont, CA.

The information link is here:

PCA-GGR Time Trial Ground School

The class usually goes from 10am to 4pm and is FREE. Pizza and soda are included.

The contact is Gary Dorighi. gdorighi@comcast.net

I hope this is interesting to some of you.

Thanks,

Bill P.

thank you for nothing Mr. Watts (oh, wait, he gave me HIS book for free!)

Hi Andy,

To tell yo the truth, I never got anything back in paper form from the school either. I just called up the instructor (Hank at the time) and he said Doris and I were good to go on the GGR spreadsheet. You may want to e-mail Gary and see if you indeed show up on a document they have. Then you wouldn't have to sit through it again.

If you do, I believe Birgit needs someone to sit with...maybe you could go together?

Are you planning on going to Buttonwillow?

Bill P.

interesting. i'll shoot him (them) an email ...



did i say i went there already last year?
no, what i meant was i HAVE to go there this year and if it happens that birgit needs someone to hold her hand, well ...






well, i have to get started with TT, so this would be a good chance ...

Andy

Bill,
what configuration are you running at BW?

Sounds like a good time. I don't have my PCA # yet.
They require that at registration. I hope I get it in time

Sean,

We'll be running in the clockwise direction this time. It seems to be the faster of the two directions.

Trekkor,

You should be able to e-mail the national person to get your number. The car usually shows up within 6 weeks. When did you apply?

Bill P.

Bill, I put my app in at Marina last month.
Also e'd the "people " at PCA.

See what happens. I like driving fast. As long as I don't spin out.

BUMP.. get this done..

I'll attend the ground school also and blast them with technical questions.

B

BUMP....Who's going?

i will. can't hurt to freshen up on the topic, right?

Andy

I might just do this. I am looking at roll cage options for my car this month. I'm so tall I need to have a special removalble bar made if I want to keep my car for both track and street. Tony C is looking into options for me. He was thinking of drawing something and then getting approval from PCA and POC on design.
