Pacific Raceways schedule: http://www.pacificraceways.com/

I may do the lapping day, but three track days in a matter of 10 days is a lot though.

Peace

Join Audi Club Northwest for Son of QuattroFest 2006 on Saturday, March 4th. This is our opening track event of the new year at Portland International Raceway. It is one exciting day for lapping only.

The one day price of $145.00 includes lunch and plenty of track time. Instructor price is $50.

All attendees must be ACNA/ACNW members. You may purchase membership at time of registration or go to "http://www.audiclubna.org/about/join.html" to join.

Registration will be online using "http://www.MotorsportsReg.com", which is now open for your access.

This event does NOT have a Driver's Education exercises component. It is for drivers who have attended at least one ACNW event or equivalent from another club or driver's school. Instructors will be available to help Novice drivers and others who want to advance their skills. One of the objectives of this event is to practice and refine the experience you gained from attending QuattroFest 2005 on the same track in Portland in the excellent wet learning conditions still expected in March.

Courtyard Portland North Harbor Marriot will be our host hotel. We will reserve blocks of rooms at a discount. Please indicate you are with the Audi Club. Reservations can be made direct at 503-735-1818 or on-line at " http://marriott.com/property/propertyPage/PDXNH"

Contact Rainer Elias, rmelias63@comcast.net, in his role as Event Master with questions regarding the event.

They better! It's for anybody, unless they fill up with porsche club members, but that would be pretty odd I think. My friend has done it many times, not sure if he gets in easily because his parents are in the porsche club or not. Now he's an instructor and only like 20 years old. I guess they were kinda jerks about letting him instruct at first because they said he didn't have enough track time or something....but he's done a lot of SCCA races and track days. Most of the people there are really nice, but a couple are jerks. I've done their autocrosses very often with no problems.

I just looked at their schedule, and they have raised their prices.... $125 for the track day with pre registration, and $175 at the track.

Alright! I got a few guys here at work to come. Evo, WRX, GTI (hot chick), and maybe few other cars.

John, we need to bring a grill, foldout chairs and awning for this day. I'll bring my tool box and tote of goodies if anyone needs them. My Snap On guy is loaning a demo 24v electric 1/2 impact to assist in tire changing.

Just pray It will be dry everybody.

I might be able to bring some chairs,John are we meeting over at your place Sunday morning? Since you are free (no wife and kids)that weekend do you want to prep cars over at your shop Saturday night? Any luck finding a sitter for Dave's kids?

I've got something much better than that: a Powertank. Liquid CO2, which is equivalent to a Nitrogen tank 3-times the size. And the vapor pressure remains consistent, instead of steadily falling off as you use it up. On my Grand Am Cup team we use a massive Nitrogen tank in our pit cart as the primary for the hot pit stops and keep this handy as a back-up, as well as for practice and qualifying sessions when the pit cart is back in the paddock. Kicks the *** out of electric impact wrenches, plus you can use it for other air tools or even as a sheilding gas for a MIG welder. I can bring it out for you guys to use in exchange for a passenger ride or two.

Hello,

Sorry to bother everyone on this thread. I noticed that you were speaking about PIR and what not so I figured you all live close to PDX. My question is...

Is there anyone on here willing to help me perform my first clutch job? I own a 1984 Mazda RX-7 GSL and this will be the first time I've ever gotten under a car. I have the money to take it to a shop but I'd rather do it "by myself" than take it in since I plan on working on the car a lot more in the future.

I'm sorry if I've wasted anyone's time and I hope to speak to you all again soon.

Regards,
Alexander Hipple
