On Friday evening from 6:30 to 7:30 we are going to have a special “Chalk
Talk” on driving Infineon Raceway. We have made arrangements with two special guests, Woody Harris and Steve Romine of MSI Motorsport, to discuss various driving techniques that will enable us to improve our driving skills.[COLOR=green] If you do not know these two guys, they are really know there stuff and know Sears well. I do not know the format for the talk but I have been at a Drivers Ed event at Sears with both Steve and Woody running my group and it was excellence. If you have not been to the track for awhile and/or would like a refresh on Sears I would say go. What they teach you will be able to use on any track. |

Looks like rain on and off Saturday. For those of you with some track experience (call me track virgin) how tricky does it get at Sears in the rain? I sure wish I was running my 914 (almost done)! I assume they run rain or shine. I guess I don't have to wash my car beforehand now. I am poring over the track layout tonight. The SC Car is emptied, tools and spares packed. It will take an hour to clean up all of the makeup, hair care devices, and general clutter in the wife's boxster. I would trade in a minute for the boxster, but feel more comfortable with my son running the newer car.

Hi Patrick,
If it's a light sprinkle you should have no problems at Sears....be smooth but don't let the adrenaline take over, if it's damp or rainy people will go off the track....it will happen. Generally at the GGR TT's if it starts coming down hard, people come in and hang out in the pits until the rain stops...then they send out cars...any cars for the most part (tow vehicles, station wagons, race cars...) to dry off the racers line....then if it's dry enough, they resume practice or the TT's. Last year we had fine weather up till the TT. After about 2/3 of the field had timed runs, the rain came and washed out the competition part of it. When it rains, I get off. It's a personal choice. It's not about the car getting wet (I have slicks so it doesn't like the water) but in every run group there is a hot shot who goes a little too hot into a wet section and gets sliding, either on the track of off. Those guys scare me.... Bill P. |

Hi Bill,
LSD is in and ready to play. Now I have to set the car up again, as I understand the LSD will increase the understeer. Sorry you and Doris will not be there. Ken |

Hi Patrick,
For TT's I'm thinking we'll make number 3 at Buttonwillow for the 3 day event at the end of June. Auto-X we may make it out by May. Probably June as well. It's getting closer....I saw the car tonight....it's looking good. Ken H. Doris says hi and we'll see you at the track soon. I really liked the LSD. Didn't take but a few laps to get used to it. The car pushes a little at first, but you adjust it out and it's all good! Bill P. |
