Lost white magnetic #1's at event

So I've been corrected :shock:
We lost a set of black magnetic #1's on a white background somewhere. Hopefully someone found them and turned them in.

Re: Good news for SK1 & SK2 at San Diego Tour

I can't believe the master of disinformation hasn't chimed in here.

I have e-mailed Sandi for a clarification on IDX1, IDX2, IDX3, R classes.
I'm guessing that SK1/SK2 is in there somewhere!

Sound in San Diego

Don't get so caught up in trying to figure sound readings. The sound meter is calibrated and reads correctly. It is always placed 50' from the edge of the course. The variable here is the location of the sound meter on course. Weather (cloudy, clear) also plays a smaller factor. When the meter is pl...

Re: 2009 San Diego Tour Thread

Do SK drivers need to also have their stock class letters on the car, or just their corresponding SK1/SK2? Just the class letters (SK1 or SK2) not the stock index (i.e. AS, BS)....though it doesn't hurt if you do have them on. Uh Gio - for the SD tour they need to. We will have them at tech if you ...

Re: Good news for SK1 & SK2 at San Diego Tour

Hey, let's get back on track here.

Less than 70 registered so far for the tour, only 2 in SK1/SK2.

Don't forget you need to register 2 weeks early to get the $90.00 price. After that is goes to $130.00

Re: Good news for SK1 & SK2 at San Diego Tour

Well said Christine. SK1/SK2 is an indexed class and takes some extra work to run at the tour. But it is a well subscribed class in both SD/LA regions. This is a good opportunity to show off the merits of the SK concept to the national folks. The Pro is a different animal. it really is a series that...

Maybe we need to think on a much smaller scale for this year. We could do a SoCal series or just hold 1 combined event. Keep the contingencies to something more manageable and make it a fun 2 day event. Mari's idea on the prizes is great - maybe helmet bags would work also - seems like you can allwa...

Since we operate under the National guidelines, only adding Supplemental Regulations where we deviate, I don't think there is any need. Why is S.D. adding something for this? Did some argument develop? Mike I think this is the whole point of the arguement. The Solo rules say nothing about direction...

Re: Need advice for SS Z06

I think the best thing about an ASP car is the seat since you can put in a racing seat! The worst part of the Z06 is the seat because they designed it for a 50+ year old guy with a beer belly.
