Lone Pine - June 5-6th, 2010

[Steve Ekstrand]

It doesn't fill up, if that's the concern.

Because I wanted to see if I'm registered for the event.

I think my registration was never received, my check hasn't been cashed yet, if I show up on the day of do you think they will let me register for the event? I would hate to drive up just to be told no.

Thank you

Remember this isn't the Lone Pine groups website, we don't have a connection other than respect and friendship with the group that does run it.

I wouldn't want to risk it. I imagine they would, but.... Have you tried to contact Kelley Moon? When I do registration I don't deposit the checks til after the event. Makes refunds easier if there is a cancellation (you or the event). So, I wouldn't assume they didn't get it, BUT I would want to check (on the check)...

You will not be turned away. This is our 40th year and we've never turned anyone away other than for unsafe cars. As much as 1/3 of the entries just show up the day of. See you there!

[Steve Ekstrand]

There's your answer Omar.

Not to reveal Rick's age.... But he's probably been there most of those 40 years!

[Mako Koiwai]

No problem getting in ... LOTS of room. Most people would be upset if their check was deposited before the event ...

Thank you all for your fast and awesome responses! I look forward to seen and meeting you guys tomorrow.

You can still go this year! hee hee.

Here's another vid of my run 2 years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RZg2SJlDDg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And if you need a co-driver for lone pine next year...

[Doug Kott]

Nice video, QV! Just enough tiger ears in the frame to know it's you.

But...there's no automatics in autocross!! [said with same intonation as Tom Hanks..."There's no crying in baseball!!!"]

I've got some family stuff going on this weekend; otherwise, I'd already be going north on 395.

I highly recommend it! I went last year for the first time, and the only reason I'm not going this year is that the last 2 mos. I've been doing so much autocross I didn't even bother to ask my wife (she's about had it with my obsession...gotta let her cool off for a few weeks).

Did you get any video of last year when you decided to re-style your car's body kit?

LOL, the power cable for my portable dvr also decided to re-style itself around that time (prob a couple events before), haha.

I have a new body kit waiting to be put on now, super jdm, yo!

Now waiting in LA for my friend to get off work before we head out to Lone Pine. SO EXCITING!

I'll be driving a Black Caliber SRT-4...I'll look for you!

If you're the guy who drives the orange 240 I saw you once at a Practice event at AAA speedway.

It was a great event - Bret and I had a blast. A big thank you to all of the people who worked so hard to make it happen.

Rick - are you going to be posting results, and, if so, when and where?

Thanks again for a great weekend.

Thank you to everyone who put on the event, I had SO much fun this year. I was considering not going this year due to various reasons, but I'm very glad I went!

QV, that was just a raw photo. I haven't edited it yet. Maybe you did, I can't tell on my iPod.

But seriously, next year I will beat you in my truck. Little more tire pressure and about 1 deg. negative camber in the front should do it.

SRT-4??? How'd I miss that? If you need any parts, struts, or wheels for autocross, I probably have them (with multiple choices in degree of hardcore).

I think I know why you missed it... ;)

Did miss the caliber part... Damn. The Mopar Performance head tried to talk me into developing a Caliber for SCCA competition. They wouldn't give me the car, but they'd sell to me at a racer's program price that was really good. A couple of thousand under dealer invoice. And some help with parts. But they wanted the parts to be THEIR parts. A caliber? Long moment of silence with the exec. I'd already bought the civic at that point.

Taking two days off for Lone Pine has put me way behind at work (where I'm at now). By the time I get home just want to go to bed. But I've just finished them, so here they are:

Thanks Rick... and thank you to all that helped put on the event this year including the sponsors. We had a great time and looking forward to next year.

Steve, what parts do you have and if the price is right I might be able to take them off you hands. Thanks
