May 3 at Big Willow

[allanlaw]

Yes, motorsport fans, we're going out on May 3rd again to our favorite track, the big track at Willow Springs. Don't be left out - Dirty Howdy has been practicing and will be going faster than you if you don't practice up, and it's worth the price of admission just to watch mighty TEAM A.A.R.P. (especially Smokin' Joe D.I.R.T.) ply its trade . . . Details here: www.opentrackracing.com

[Dirty Howie]

Wish I could be there with you ............but have to WORK !!!!

I will be looking forward to JUNE ...... hope OTR or ACRA will accomodate me.....


DH ( on TEAM AARP waiting list )

My 3 former co-workers who attended the March event; Steve (Mustang), Bob (Elise), and Craig (M3); are going to run with us again, and are bringing another newbie. Allan, you gave Craig a ride last time so hold a seat open for Steve and Bob this time

Howard, OTR will be running at WSIR on 6/21, so mark the date and take a vacation day so you can run with us, conquer T9 and break the 1:40 barrier.

Parade lap?
Doesn't that describe every lap you take howie?

as soon as I figure out how to attach this undertray, I should be (for the most part) good to go -- gotta be, since I've got to have the car on the track (come hell or high water) that following weekend

Yeah . . . east side of the track, so I get to avoid the high-speed run on my favorite turn . . . just get the normal low-speed run on it.

a) Running in the seesion with all the n00bs doesn't count
b) Point bys from cars on the cool down lap don't count
c) Point bys from people on the side of the track w/ walkers don't count


d) if in any part of the video you get passed by anything less than a viper, we take away credit for every car you pass. If you get lapped, that counts as double

I saw that it's #17CCW, too bad you won't be able to show your instructor the "smoke screen" move heading into the grapevine.

Although, that would be a funny test . . . . wonder how much lift I'll get at speed on that hump now.

Use a pinhole camera . . .

TTT time to sign up, gents. May and June are good racing months before we hibernate over the summer.
