See a 2014 gt3 registered for the event. Anyone on here?

SanDiegoDavid

Yep, me. I know one other 2014 GT3 who will be there. Hopefully we get good weather.

Cool...I'll see ya out there. I'm running my Lemons car though.

Be careful out there guys. There was a fatality last weekend at BW. Driver apparently lost control coming out of the esses leading into sunset and hit the corner worker station.

BW is my favorite track in SoCal, sad to hear something like that.

Which run groups do you guys go in? Red? Green? I haven't run with SV for a while but going out to COTA with them in April and will probably do something with them in Feb or March.

I run in red usually because it is open passing and "race conditions". Only issue is those other cars will be full race cars or totally gutted and running on slicks etc so they throw a bunch of gunk (especially at BW) towards chasing cars.

I'll be at Chuckwalla that weekend lower car counts and never driven Chuck before so a little variety. Have done BW 20 times.

Bringing ACR and one or two others depending on maintenance and tires available.

What times have you guys done in the GT3 at 13CW?

SanDiegoDavid

I'm running Green. I saw the TV news story on the death. Pretty scary. I don't like the spots they have the corner stations. I've only been to BW once. I took it nice and easy since I was learning a new track. I didn't break 2 min, but hey that's OK I had fun.

Chucky's a great track CJ. You'll have fun

I didn't see or hear that - to clarify did the driver or the corner worker die? I'm assuming it was the driver?

calpolo17

Passenger side struck flagging station. Driver died, passenger injured but stable.

Might have to change plans. SV 19th chucky 20th. Have to go to dealership holiday party on 19th

Maybe it is time for virtual corner stations. Get LED "flags" at the needed locations, nice and bright when they turn on. Monitor tracks with cameras and people at safe distances. It is time to improve tracks.

Apparently he was in a 6 point with a cage but without a HANS.
