Posted by: Trekkor Oct 21 2013, 07:23 PM

November 23rd at Sonoma Raceway.

Trackmaster's Racing is once again hosting a fast paced a/x test day.
http://trackmasters-racing.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.eventDetails&event_id=75

Limited to 60 drivers to maximize seat time.
Passengers welcome and free to ride along all day!

Our usual format:
Small courses in the morning that will be connected in the afternoon to form one large course.

Expect to see features common in every typical competition course.

We will also set up a large skid pad exercise in a remote location for added car control practice.

There will be a few instructors on hand to assist, ride along and coach as time allows.

During the lunch break we will have a 20 minute low speed parade session on the road course and an optional classroom discussion.

Water, coffee and juice provided all day at no additional cost.

Each driver or passenger must have there own SA2005 or better helmet.

We run rain or shine!

Cost is $75 each.

Any questions? please contact me at trekkor@willstile.com

w00t.gif The 914 is down, but I might drag the Z over the hill and see if it autocrosses... It is mostly a track-day, hill-climb car...

I'm gonna bring the car back out...

Course will have similar features but will be a new layout.

Plus we are using the overflow paddock above turn 7 for a skid pad exercise.

I'm bringing the type four powered VW bug.
Not sure if I can get the 914 ready in time.

Braking exercise would be great, if you have the room.

I'm in! I'll be there bright and early.

Trek, do i pay at the gate or do i have to pay online?

Also, where exactly is this? In the back of the paddock behind the grand stands?

We have the entire paddock behind the grandstands.

I have you on the helper list, Andy, so you do not have to pay,

See everybody on Saturday. Hopefully my GoPro actually records the runs. driving.gif

Oh and too bad my tires are CRAP. Gonna be sliding all over.

Posted by: ConeDodger Nov 22 2013, 08:22 AM

As i told Trekkor last night, I will not make it. This is one of those times it sucks to be the boss. I came to work yesterday at 9am, was supposed to be here till 9am today, then got a sick call. I'll be here till Saturday morning at 9am... mad.gif

Posted by: Trekkor Nov 23 2013, 01:27 AM

Course is all set and ready for a good day!

I can't believe this is my 12th event at Sears.

That was fun! The figure 8 skid pad was a blast ...

We had a fantastic day.

The skid pad/figure 8 was very well received.

Also we got to enjoy watching a '67 VW double cab Bus run the course.

I brought out my '69 VW LeMons Bug

Everyone got loads of runs and a full session of parade laps.
I led the group in my F-350!

Hope to see you for TMR a/x #13 in '14.

It would be fun to have an all 914 run group with a BBQ afterwards at the track.

I took the pics of everyone on the a/x course, just not the ones while we were on the road course during the parade lap session.
