I think I’ll be taking the entire day off on Friday , I may get the car aligned in the morning then wash her, and load it up
Lucky you. I'd love to take the whole day off. Actually, I'd love to take the whole rest of the week off. But I have very little vacation left.

Did everybody get their confirmation emails yet? I haven't received one yet for HPDE 1.
 
Re: Hyperfest - July 10-11 - Summit Point: Camping/supplies/etc.

I try and keep 3weeks in the bank at all times, so a day here and there is really a big deal.

I haven’t gotten an email yet.

Let me ask you guys. I’ll be getting my hands on a set of scales on Wednesday night, do you think it is worth the effort to try and corner weight the car Thursday evening.

Is everything else done? If so and you don't need the sleep, do it.
 
Re: Hyperfest - July 10-11 - Summit Point: Camping/supplies/etc.

Yep the car was ready as of yesterday, fresh oil, checked out all the suspension, brakes are good, she just needs a bath.

I even cleaned out all the threads in the coilovers so they be easy to adjust.

Any one got an DC to AC inverter for there car they can bring. I’ll have my video camera with & tapes so we and get all the Bikini Jousting action. But I’m not sure how much battery life I have.
 
Re: Hyperfest - July 10-11 - Summit Point: Camping/supplies/etc.

If you're that into the west virginia strippers, there are several strip joints right down the road. Personally I am much more into tapeing my own "performance." (like lets see how many times I can spin in turn one in barf...) Anyway, there should be power in the paddock.

Man I can't wait to get the rex (temporarily dubbed barf vader) on track. I snuck it out tonight for just a brief stint. So much different than the Focus. I'll just have to see how she does on track.

Is anyone not bringing a pit crew? I ask only for selfish reasons. Well that and I don't particularly want to have to line NASA and SP's pockets anymore than we have to. First priority is, we need to get Hal's arm band covered. After that, I have a couple friends I would like to get in gratis.

Re: Hyperfest - July 10-11 - Summit Point: Camping/supplies/etc.

I should have room, too, but won't be getting there 'til very late on Fri.
That's OK, can't get a refund 'till during a few hour window on Saturday.

Still haven't gotten an email from NASA...

I think I decided to leave the Victoracers at home this trip. That way I'll be able to hold off on putting them on. I just don't have the discipline to leave them off the car. But this way, I'll truly get to work on my driving instead of cheating with R-compounds.

What that means is that I'll have room for the small portable air compressor my dad got me last x-mass. That is, if they have power outlets???

FYI - I think some of my local auto-x buddies are taking along their $2003 challenge CRX(I think they finished 16th overall). Its been sitting since last season so they're getting rid of it. Anyone looking for an entry level track car that's already gutted look them up. (but it does have a wicked paint job on it)

brian and eric-i carry 3 inverters and a 1000 watt gen so power is not an issue. actually have room for the 4500 watt gen this time but probably wont bring it. just got bad news. my car may not make it after all.
 
Re: Hyperfest - July 10-11 - Summit Point: Camping/supplies/etc.

Eric -- I'd definitely get in touch with NASA-VA in person. Hell, I signed up late and got my confirmation last wk.

Good call leaving the victoracers behind. (It's my oh-so-convenient excuse for not going faster

; "...but they're real street tires...")

Gary - no squirt!? Say it ain't so...what's the delay, and what's the backup plan?
 
Re: Hyperfest - July 10-11 - Summit Point: Camping/supplies/etc.

Arrrrgggghhhhhhh. What can we do to help? You want to drive my Focus?
 
Re: Hyperfest - July 10-11 - Summit Point: Camping/supplies/etc.

Is there something you need?

If you can’t bring your car, if you would like to take mine out for a session or two that would be cool, you’ll have to be a bit genteel with it, but it would nice to get some input on the work I have done.
 
Re: Hyperfest - July 10-11 - Summit Point: Camping/supplies/etc.

Yeah, ditto here. You're welcome to (gently) beat on my car (provided there's no berm-bouncing...) and sample the long-strokey 2.3 ; I'd be psyched to have the feedback.
 
Re: Hyperfest - July 10-11 - Summit Point: Camping/supplies/etc.

talked to john this a.m. the missing tab on the strut can be welded on but it will most likely destroy the strut. am trying to find another way to fix her. and egz thanks for the offer-these are rsx spax coilovers. i sold all my spare springs, so just a set of struts wont help. i would need front springs and struts that at least somewhat match the rear. waiting for john to call me with ideas.
 
Re: Hyperfest - July 10-11 - Summit Point: Camping/supplies/etc.

forgot to mention, thanks guys for the offers. i would love to drive some more cars this year and if i can help any of you by doing so, i will be somewhat gentle.
