Green Flag Driving

[Poisonous Mods]

Thanks to Road Racin' / Mr Trevor.... :beer:
Would any one be interested in the below quote of Road Racin'?

**Quote**
we should try and plan a weekend open track event. Either Green Flag driving http://www.greenflagdriving.org/ or maybe another svtoa deal. imo, more fun then drag b/c it lasts longer then 12 seconds

these would be fun:
September 27/28 -- Laguna Seca OR
November 29/30 -- Buttonwillow

I'd love to do a Laguna Seca trip. I've driven that track 100's of times... on Gran Turismo 3 and am dying to really go around it.
**Un-quote**

Hope u dont mind Road Racin' .... but this is what ive been waiting for.

*Entry Fee.
Laguna Seca is $300.00 for Sat or Sun. 2 Days = $575.00
Buttonwillow is $200.00 for Sat or Sun. 2 days = $375.00

*3 Type of Classes.
Green = Full on Racing Style (need roll bar & other equipment)
Red = Fast but not crazy fast driving like the GREEN.
Yellow = Beginners / Novice but supposed to be quick still.

*Sessions.
15 to 20 minute Sessions & around 5 Session in a day.
(but session can be more if you run at Buttonwillow, since not that many parties get involved)

*Helmets are required ( Snell 95 or higher )
*Nomex Gloves required

P.S. Mr Trevor...thanks for the link....really bro :beer:

Oh Chit. Was just reading the fax from Barbara.
Laguna Seca is supposed to be there #1 track, so if they are booked all the way they will chose which person that can attend.
Also since Laguna is more technical they wants to see folks who ran the other 2 tracks prior to chosing them as well.

Basically the loyal folks gets to be chosen 1st & then its random.

RoadRacin...u down to just try Buttonwillow 1st for the year? Then we can just push them to pick up out of the crop for Laguna Seca?

 

[Road Racin']

I'm down for buttonwillow. It's a very cool track. I've been around it, not driving, a number of times. We co-hosted an open track day when I was at Vortech. It's sweet! Count me in! We should try and get the group together. Maybe I'll have the saleen done by then

 

[Poisonous Mods]

Road Racin,
Cool :beer: got my friend with a WRX going as well.

Although i only plan to run the Yellow Races for the 1st time out on the track ;-)

Hey we have to talk more about this tomorrow :beer:

 

[Road Racin']

I agree, and only saturday. 2 days is too much $$$ and too much wear on the parts for a weekend. ACtually thats the same thing

Btw, whats the plan for tomorrow if it starts to ra... I'd rather not say it, but you know what I mean???

 

[Poisonous Mods]

Ohhhh no, no rain please. :shrug:

1 day is just fine but i think im going to want more. I love Sepulveda Pass & im one of those crazy ones going down the hill...pretty fast / Sorry.
So i can find my self enjoying the track alot....but ur right 1 day should be fine & not pushing my girl to hard.

U know Rain or Shine they hold the races....but they only give u 2 weeks to cancel ur plans . Rain would be real tricky for me, but im sure my friend in his WRX would enjoy the track.

 

[Road Racin']

if it rains track day, your buddy will have more fun off road in that wrx.

But I meant rain Tomorrow???? Cruise day. Are we still on?? I don't want to be the only guy there

 

[Poisonous Mods]

Im going for sure to the cruise but not sure....
I'll got to the thread & ask... Hope no freaking rain.

Now youre talkin! Road racing is where it's at. I dream of running LS. I've been going to events there since I was a kid...last one 10 mo. ago. Chased my friends Viper up Hwy 1 just to get pumped for that weekend. I ran Willow stock with helmet only. I will not do that again now that I'm pumping major ponies. Suspension mods going on now. Harness is in. Shopping for best deal on Hossiers or the like. (ate the crap out of my street rubber). I will wear a suit and do fuel cell for LS. Too many concrete barriers. You can come around and smack your tail real hard at that track. Seen it too many times. Can get crispy! Now for Button or Willow just need that rubber and count me in!

Open track road racing is "way cool" to quote my grandson.

That would be cool :beer:
Sorry just that Laguna Seca for them is a major event & they want the folks with some Loyalty who will get the chance to run it VS some one like me.

So i figured best thing to do is run another smaller event & make sure they put a spot for me next year

You guys need to check out the NASA (National Auto Sport Assoc.) at www.nasaproracing.com

I've been driving with this group since the beginning of this year. Good guys, well organised, usually at least 4 x 20 min track sessions per day.
The next closest event is at Willow Springs on 6/7 September.

Annual membership is $35 and then you pay per day/weekend at the various tracks. The last WS event was only $150 for one day or $225 for both days. They are also doing a Laguna Seca weekend later in the year.

Check it out!

[maoun]

it's hard to organize these without a backing organized organization....just because of insurance purposes

we do all the nasa races....www.socalsvtoa.com

good luck, i have experience with organizing these things, so i can help you.

 

[Poisonous Mods]

Hey Maoun.

Dont want to really organize but just drive the course

Just for fun ya knows :beer:

So when is socalsvtao going to do another road course?
