This is going to be EPIC! Let's do this, people!!!

Approx 31 lateral load changes over 3.2 miles. Five 20 minute sessions per day with 5 minute buffer on each so if drivers clear track on back checker you have five 25 minute sessions.

Runoff areas that allow you to probe the limits with generally low consequence factor. Commonly at every event at Laguna, Sears, or Thunderhill cars go home crashed on the flatbed. I've seen it one time in three years at Reno-Fernley and that was 100% avoidable (driver red-misted and over cooked corner after a pass). Don't forget, if you do want to insure your car, the Trackrat event (all run groups) is approved by Lockton Affinity and listed on their website (two/three days coverage cost same as one!).

By any reasonable prediction- drivers will be crawling on hands and knees into their bed at night from exhaustion. The truly courageous, those registered for all three days, will have had one of the great learning experiences of their high-performance driving career and will know their car like never before. Registrants are challenged to come back and call me out for hyperbole on this prediction.

The drivers meeting will set clear expectations of respect and cooperation for both slower and faster drivers.

An incredible opportunity for fun and challenge unlike anywhere else on the west coast. Remember, there is no cafe, no wifi and the bathrooms are Portapotties. This is all about the driver and the track. Oh, and the catered gourmet lunch

Saturday may actually book up and require waitlisting so registration *now* is good. Two and three day registrations offer a savings.

I'd almost fly in to help drink beer and see it all unfold...

Socal guys not trailering: i may be able to help haul some gear up there if needed. Let me know if this would help you make it to the event.

Professor. why are you in the medium TT and not fast TT??

savyboy

He's going to take the time to learn the track before running "flat-out"

mikymu

I thought he was going to cheat first? His punishment for cheating will be running with the fast guys

savyboy

He never registered for the "pre-run" event this past weekend

I know Lar is a thoughtful and nice guy, don't want you guys hounding him!

I am driving up with my GT3. Let me know it you want to come through Las Vegas and drive up the back roads to Fernley.

Cheers!

Let me take the opportunity to piggyback on my friend Dougs post and say there are two easy ways from So Cal to RFR.

US-95 is a straight shot north from Vegas and while mostly two lane is easy to keep a fast pace. It's wide-open high desert and a whole lot of nothing interspersed with some two stoplight towns.

US 395 is a straight shot to RFR from S. CA. Much of it is four lane and it is a very scenic drive right along the eastern side of the Sierras. You can just drink in the view and it is an easy days drive to RFR. Heck overnight in Mammoth! The Westin there is superb and has a great in-house restaurant.

Choice is good and there is some food for thought. Doug is a social guy and he'd be a great caravan partner

Getting excited, can't wait. Couldn't talk anyone else from Bay Area into going, they're loss.

Leaving Napa mid morning Thursday w/ trailer if anyone needs some wheels shuttled up.

Do it! Fly in to SJC and drive up with me. I'll share the car with you. I think there will be plenty of empty track for both of us!
