If I go, I plan on only hangin' around with everyone...
Not quite ready for the track!
What time does this event start and what time is everyone going to be there?

gates open at 6:00, racing starts at 7:00 - we usually try to get there as early as 5:00 (maybe 5:30) because they only let the first 400 race (and it fills up fast)...
For those that get there early, we will meet at the front gate of the parking lot (not the gate off the street) - at 5:00... if the line is not long we might wait a bit but not later than 5:30... if the lines are long at 5:00 we wont be waiting.
A few of us will caravan from Garden Grove - if you want to join us be at Bolsa Grande High School (on Westminster Ave between Magnolia and Brookhurst) by at least 4:30
It costs $20 to race (you will get at least 4-5 runs... if you stay after 3:30 the lines thin out and you can get as many as 8-10 or more)...
Be sure you bring a chair, sunscreen, a hat (if you are follicley challenged like me), and something to eat (unless you dont mind really crappy hot dogs and hamburgers that the concessions sell).
If someone has a vid cam that would be great!
Those that are racing - if you think you will run faster than 14.0 bring a helmet (if you are NA, you probably wont need to worry), if you dont have a helmet you can borrow mine as long as you have your own head-sock (you can buy head socks cheap at any motorcycle shop and many performance auto stores)... lighten your car the best you can by removing everything possible - try to arrive on 1/8-1/4 tank of gas (there is a gas station one block away so you can fuel up before heading home). Don't drop pressure in your tires until after your first run, if you aren't spinning, you dont need to lower pressure... lower in small increments (low psi might help traction, but it also raises rolling resistance).
Even if you dont plan to race - come on out; it's a cool place and hangin' with fellow Gs is a good time - see you there

Awwww I wish I could roll but I have to work until 2:30pm.
I still haven't had a chance to get back to the track since that time I got a flat on the track.
