Bob, is there instructing available during these Wednesday nights? Just curious....not that I need it, but I don't think I wanna be on the track w/a bunch of new people who don't know what they're necessarily doing and w/o instruction

Hey Ali ... yep typical DE type format you're used to

6 sessions of 2 run groups (novice/beginner and intermediate/advanced) are squeezed in, 15 minute sessions

So how did last Wednesday turn out? I need to run at least one of these before late May b/c we are going to Putnam and I would like to shake down the car once in familiar territory before venturing to unknown lands, lol.

Plus, I'll be running on r-compounds this year, which is new for me too....so would really like to come out on a Wednesday and try out my new toys!

Hey Ali,

Sounds like things have settled back in from the big move ... Finally able to relax a little?

Whoa ... sticky tires, eh? Your first few laps make ya' feel like no one can catch ya' ... it's quite fun

The Wednesday event was a really nice format ... we were able to park/leave cars in cold grid to shorten turnaround time between the shorter 15 minute sessions, but with 6 sessions, you really feel like you got a good amount of track time

Hopefully you can make next one, May 7, so works with your Putnam schedule, check out www.stlpdx.com for other dates and registration links

I don't recall if I'm an SCCA member or not...is there any way I can look that up somewhere?

Hmm ... not that I know of. Note you can join for one event for just $15, a full year membership is $70 I think

PM me and I'll ask the registrar to check to see if still a member yet

registered and paid for next Wednesday!

After watching a couple of my friends at NASA this past weekend, I can't wait to get back out on the track this season!

Bob, pm sent about SCCA membership

Ali .. no option to do the $15 "one time" membership online, simply pay at the event

I don't! One good rain event is a great learning experience ... get to manage a teeny tiny friction circle!

I only hope that the rescheduled event will work w/my schedule
