I disagree with John. It's not how you go fast, it's how good you look going fast. I have found blue racers tape does wonders for the "perseption" of speed!

Chris rent one from OG first. They'll give you the rental money toward the purchase of one.

I rented one from them last time. I figured if I was going to be doing this a lot, I should probably just buy one.

I would buy one, lot more comfortable. If you get one of the Snell 2000 it will be good for at least the next 5/6 years which is all you should use a helmet for anyway. 2005 are not readily available yet, 2000 may be at a discount.

Ok. I just signed up so hopefully another one of you will come off the wait list. If my car's not done in time I'll just have to drive yours.

AHHH YEA! Accepted in blue. Betty, I think you got me in. Thank you!
Time to stock up on blue racers tape so I can look fast while give passing signals.

So - who's in the Dorki pits for this? Here's my count:

Green:
Jim, Me, Pari, Steve

Blue:
Ted, Charlie, Chris Martin, Greg, Josh, Doug,

White:
David D., Marc, John B, David R.

That's 14 so far. Who'd I miss? Do instructors pit with the mortals or do they have their own special velvet roped area?

BTW, Someone remind me to bring a shovel to the Dorki corral at SP. Something tells me it might get a little deep on track day .

We have been known to walk among the unwashed.

You will find that long time track rats have spots where they always park. As an example the first row behind the covered Tech shed is normaly Art, Dirk the Mitchels the Amicos and the Trew's. The next row over I used to park when I had the inclosed but it is Bruce Dobb's spot now.(I just mooch off his enclosed now) I park my trailer behind his and also in that row is Ralf B. Eric S, Bob N, George W and Art have an uncanny ability to grab the covered tech shed spots. You get the idea. I might come hide at Dorki Central this season and let everyone come to Bruce looking for $5 "I'm late because..." grid techs.
