Randy, the way to do that is to email Phil and request me as an instructor. You're first in line, so I don't see a problem. Copy me with the request, please.

Cheers,
Sid

 

You got it . I'll send it tonight. I'm at work and they dont really like me to be on NAM.

 

Hi Sid
I sent the request in i and got a response.They said they could not guarantee i would have you i my coach,but they will put the request in my file and try to put us together. It depends on what class i drive in so i sign up for advance. They have a different way of cataloging.

 

If you're in Advanced, a coach is not mandatory. I'll be busy with the Novices, but we'll get together for a session in A for sure. No worries.

 

Just got the participants list for the February 10 & 11 Infineon NASA event.
Looks like we have (5) MINIs signed up for group 3 on Saturday.

Can't wait. This is going to be fun!!
I'll bring a easy-up canopy, a couple of extra chairs and a some water.

 

Sounds good, let's make a MINI compound in the paddock. I'll bring my EZ up, my carpet and some more water. I'm coming in the night before to stake out a space.

 

I'll be there Friday afternoon.
Maybe get as close to the drivers lounge as possible.

BTW, my tires are baloney skins and my street tires are not much better.

 

BWAH-HA-HA-HA! YOU'RE MINE! BEWARE MY STICKY YOKOS!!

(note to self: do not be deluded by the subterfuges of trash talkin' mouses.)

 

Yes, MINI compund for sure! Ill be there with nice RA1's, watch out...although, I think Ill need pads after saturday...

Save me a spot inside the castle walls...anyone want to caravan up on Sat morning?

 

Hey Jerry i found out that one of the Miata groups have a fundraiser at Thunder Hill on April 23rd. I was thinking it might be fun to go and see what they think about the MINI. They posted it on the REME site and aksed if any MINIs would like to join in. They have 3 groups A unlimited passing and B1 and B2 limited passing. I'll take B and you can have A. Let me know.

 

I don't think I'll have time with my other commitments. Go on up and smoke 'em for us!

 

Matt, I'll leave Sat morning from Menlo Park area to Infineon. Would you like to caravan together? I heard that the paddock may get very crowded, so I am thinking leaving early enough (5amish?) so as not to miss the space saved by kmickey.

Anybody from the peninsula wants to caravan together?

 

Mickey and I will try to lay out the compound. I'm bringing a couple of orange safety cones (they match my wheels) as well. I'll be there on Friday afternoon around 4 PM.

Cheers,
Sid

 

5 am! Yeah Im totally in, Im in Oakland, so we just need to sync up somewhere depending on how you plan on getting there...

I need a raincoat...

 

$10 fee at the gate, good for all weekend.
7:30 drivers meeting
8:20 group 3, we're on track!
Not much time between the drivers meeting and the first session at 8:20.

Over 240 cars registered for racing and HPDE.

Take a look at Infineon's web cam and check out the paddock (camera 4):

Having brake (pedal) issues right now - re-bleeding the system.
Looks like I'll get there at Infineon real late tonight.
I think the gates close at 9 or 10pm.

 

Matt,

Sent you a PM. Since we are likely taking very different bridges to Marin, i suggest we meet at the Shell gas station at Ignacio Blvd exit on 101N (which is just one exit before 101-37 junction) at around 6:10am? This should get us the opportunity to gas-up, get some coffee and be at the track at around 6:30pm.

 

yeah, 10 PM. If you get this, I'm over behind the grandstand on the other side of the time trialers. See you tomorrow.

 

DAMN! I need to get up early to set Liam up...

see you guys soon...

 

How wet is it up there? Standing water on the front straight kink?

 

it was wet here at Infineon... very nice meeting Mickey, seeya, Matt.

But Jerry, we only saw you car here, where are you? we are a bit worried... hope you are ok and promptly show up tomorrow. Or give us a line or two here to let us know that you are ok.

 

Something came up I had to deal with. On deck tomorrow.

 

glad to know jerrys ok, and as he is, let the razing begin.

Siddhartha gets SCOTD
"show car of the day"

damn rain...and its perfect today, and here I am at home...

 

The weather turned out just beautiful.
We had even less folks today - around 15 or cars.
The track started out wet and dried out during the day, enough to use the berms.

 

Well, Matt, thanks for the recognition. I would have been there earlier yesterday but I had to sort out a little problem . . . she said she was 18. She looked 20 . . .

Anyway, sorry we missed you today, it was splendid. Mickey dropped down from run group 4 to 3 to run with us. We had a great day. I got sideways at the entrance to 9 in the morning wetness, but that was the only incident. Clive tried his best to catch me. Every time I'd stuff a couple of Miatas in between us, he'd gobble them up and be right back on my tail.

But, sadly, no one passed me today, so I guess I'm stuck with the hat for a while longer. You missed your chance, Matt.

My favorite comment of the day: At the download session the Golf R32 driver said, "I looked in my mirror and saw those MINIs coming and I said, 'uh-oh, that looks like trouble!'" And it was. We ate him up.
