NCDA.net is hosting a grip event with instructors on December 11th.

The target number is about 50 drivers so everyone will have plenty of track time, with experienced instructors.

Cost is projected to be $140. That is VERY INEXPENSIVE, for Thunderhill.

Details are to be announced within the week at www.ncda.net .

don@ncda.net for additional info and inquiries.

There are quite a few RX7 driving instructors within our organization. Hope some of you will join us. If we can cater this event to the rx7 community in anyway, we'd love to do so, please contact us with ideas.

 

wow, that's the cheapest i've heard yet. that's a REALLY GREAT deal there.

 

So, the drift event will be in the paddock and everyone else is on the track? I don't want some crazy nut like Carl drifting into my slow *** on turn one!

 

Thats correct, no sliding at all on track. December 11th is dedicated to educating road course fundamentals.

With only 50 or so folks, that makes for ALOT of paddock space, so some circle drill and other sliding funamentals will be taught on the unused coned off paddock space. We are regulars at Thunderhill, we're good at utilizing every square inch!

 

hmm, do you usually go with Getto Dave? Haven't heard much from him lately. Sounds like an excellent opportunity for people to learn new skills and spend time at the track on the cheap! Do you need to have a instructors score card?

 

Sounds good I've yet to ask dave I'll know on Wed what our other options are

 

Ok well I signed up for the track day on December 11th. No way I can afford to pay for more then one event so I hope to see ya'll there!

 

Well if I can get the flow I'll be out there, if anything for the lessons.

 

i'm there!

where exactly do we sign up again?

 

I would love to do this. How can I sign up, and how much is it going to cost?

 

I just shot off an email for info. I'll pass it on when he gets back to me.

 

Oooh! I am so in! Just gotta make sure I get my cat-back on on time and I should be good to go!

 

I just signed up on-line, $145! Dirt cheap. http://www.ncda.net/index.php this is where you can sign up. Hopefully it won't rain. Common girly girls, get on the list, so far i'm the only one listed! Most of the people will probably be drifting in the paddock, and won't even be using the track.

 

I'm signed up- three 7s now. I think I'll be doing more on the road course than drifting, but we'll see how the day goes...

 

Just got home a little while ago. 1:58.4 AMB timed NASA class TTU track record.

 

And first in TTU Saturday, and Sunday, all under 2:00

 

rotoober, did you get an email back with information? I would like to know how many groups and how much track time is estimated for the grip portion before I sign up. Who else has signed up so far?

 

Congratulations, Carl! That's fantastic. You even beat Evan in the FD (if he was there... don't know if he was).

 

I looks like there are two things going: drifting in the paddock (off track) and a track day. There are no other groups signed up for the track for the day. Looks like there should be enough track time to burn yourself out. I received my email confirmation already, it does not look like too many people have signed up yet (but I haven't checked in a couple of days).
Carl - congratulations! Sorry I missed you, had too many things to get caught up on this weekend.

I beat Brian Evans by 3-5 seconds a lap. He is this years TTU champ, I competed three time this year, took third to him my first time out by two seconds, and came back and beat him by three or more seconds my second, and third events. He is moving on to SU I believe. I will most likely do that either mid next year, or the year after depending on money, and time. I was the third fastest car on the track all weekend, all classes including AIX, CMC, legends, thunder roadsters, etc. Carl

 

Carl,

Right on. I'm going to try to do the socal NASA Time Trial Series next year in TTB if time allows. I've been tracking my car for a while now and some friendly competetion would be fun.

 

Does Brian have the silver 93 widebody with the gt35r?

 

It is a silver widebody with the big APR wing, he did not know what the turbo was when I asked, I didn't have time to really check it out. I think he got the crap scared out of him in SU until the field spread out a bit.

 

feel free to email info@ncda.net

With an estimated 50ish drivers, there should be a TON of track time. Maybe two rungroups, of about 25... So two rungroups, 8 hours of open track = you do the math, ALOT of time.

The schedule will be finalized during the final week of registration, but don't wait till the last minute, at this price, we're simply looking to fill it up quick and enjoy ourselves out there.

BTW, Carl, your times are AMAZING!

 

I freakin have to work....
