It's two months away. Most will sign up in last couple weeks before event. I will be there even if there are only 6 cars but highly unlikely

Everyone is always last minute for registration. It's tough for organizers as they commit to making things happen. Pete's taken on the financial risk and time commitment for trying to make an RL event for us. Thanks again Pete.

I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to make it, but I registered as a sign of respect to Pete for all his efforts for coordination! I hope others will follow suit!

Oh my, don't get you panties in a knot, hotel was booked this past week and I promise I will get my registration done this coming week to make you happy. It has been a busy month at work.

Also, I'll be joining you in HPDE with RE-11 street tires , so get ready to give me a point by (if you see me!). Keep an eye out for the GT Silver GT3 997.2 with the 5 lug (D-Lug) conversion

I look forward to meeting everyone there, the whole weekend is going to be a blast! Thanks SAVY!



Cheers!
Doug N.

Thanks for the support guys!

Fence-sitters: for the RFR Trackrat Event you should expect high temps in the high 60's-low 70's and historically a zero percent chance of rain. High-desert+Global Warming=Perfect time of year to enjoy the company of your friends in the paddock and on the track.

What kind of track-crack addicted moron would buy something like that? One seat, no cup holders, not US street legal, English made, you'd have to be mental, er...crazy. Just a pretty avatar. Like the kid with the poster on the bedroom wall.

Sure..

A new picture as you avatar within a week of The BAC Mono is a carbon-bodied piece of sculpture with the innards of a Formula 3 car: 540kg, 280hp. The handling is astonishing, in the wet.
