yeah...er, what about 205/45/16 tires?

I've heard many different things about how to properly inflate your tires for street vs track use and there seems to be some sort of science (although not exact) to it. I know there are some people on here who do these sorts of events all the time, so please enlighten us!

 

Sorry.....misunderstood your question. I only quoted from their rule book because I figured this was one of those things Phil et al would check at the tech session and you wanted to know what they would expect.

I'm in the dark as well re the best way to do it.

 

No worries...I'm sure someone out there can help us. I don't think they check air pressure at the tech inspection, do they?

 

You don't want run the AC while on the track . it slows you down...

 

Marina, are you leaving tomorrow?

 

I am trying to get my clients' $$$$$$ together and see if the HI has room for tomorrow night ..

If I can manage the plan is:

Load the car tonight, get the GPS in with the different locations , work a couple of hours, then tomorrow morning go to the GYM @ 7:30, train a new client 10-12, go to the bank and depost his check, get on the road between 1 and 2. In the evening find a nice place to eat and relax by the pool - maybe?

 

...okaaaaaay....

I have the itch to leave asap, too, but I have too many things to do tomorrow...plus it'd be nice to motor down with the other folks...

 

It's not the track I'm thinking of.....never run the A/C on the track.....expecting a sweltering drive there and back.

 

Hey guys,

I arrived a couple of hours ago @ the HI. Route 29 was fine (a lot of police and road kills) I made in 4.5 hours with one quick stop to refuel and bathroom break.

Drive safely - See you all tomorrow

 

I drove north up 29 from NC between noon and 4pm today. One cop the whole stretch (between Lynchburg and C'ville).

 

The car is packed and washed, so we're ready to go!

See everyone in the morning.

 

YAY....Just detailed my car yesterday All ready for it to get covered in bug guts and hot rubber

See you guys tomorrow!

Thanks for the police reports Lastrega and PGT

 

Hope you guys all have a safe trip down here! I'm driving over to the hotel tomorrow for early tech, as are a couple more of us locals.

 

Thanks, Jason! See you tomorrow

 

Hi guys and gals, have fun at the event. I hope to see lots of pictures. Watch out for the S's. Oh, remember to be safe.

 

Changing my mind at the last minute about the caravan -- don't look for me at the Route 29 gathering point.

 

Hitting the road early I presume? The wait is brutal

 

Something like that.....

 

Just gave the Mini a wash and cleaned the windows. A few more items to pack and hit the shower. Hopefully the one thing I always forget to take isn't important. See ya in about an hour

 

I will probably get to the meeting point around 9:40am. If people show up earlier, we might be able to leave earlier as well.

Brian, the meet time is currently 10am. You mentioned being there in an hour which would be 9am. Just making sure you don't wonder why nobody is there.

PS Lets get this caravan a rolling

 

. . . rollin' - rollin' - rollin' !

 

After all the pre-planning, it turned out that for a variety of reasons I could not attend this event, but I'm dying to know how it went out there. Let's have a full report, please.

 

What a blast, We had a great time, Ed, Jerryanne, Marina, Larry, Glen, Tom, Daniel, Dave, Laura and the rest. We had a blast. I'll be posting some pics my son took. The drive down was great, we never got to see the couple on the red mini with the NY plates, what a coincidence that the where driving that stretch of road with us......... Stev what a great sound of the Alta. We have to do it again

 

I can't wait to see some pics!
