Where's the CMC garage sign up?

[MikeS]

I've only run it once, CCW in a DE back in I think 2010. Looking forward to the weekend.

Where's the CMC garage sign up?
same place as you sign up for the event

Dave knows how territorial you guys are so I'm sure you'll get put together :)

[cobra132]

Do we have a schedule yet and can we drop off Thursday night? FMR

[kbrewmr2]

edit - also be sure to have $5 cash per tow vehicle or street vehicle that goes through the gate. Cash going towards new curbing, new pavement, restroom renovations, etc. Only one charge per vehicle per weekend though.

Nat site says you can drop off Thursday. Look forward to seeing you frank and raiding you cooler for BL

Is anyone else running the enduro? Will anyone be available Friday afternoon to help with fueling? FMR

I'm not running the enduro but will be there Friday doing the comp school. I can help w/ fueling if needed.

[Trublu]

I'll be there and can help also

[cobra132]

Excellent, I will need help with one fuel stop. Is anyone else from ai/cmc running the enduro? FMR

[Rob Liebbe]

Landrum, Mostys, Proctor, English/Liebbe that I know of.

[GlennCMC70]

I'm not running. Sorry.

[michaelmosty]

I'm not running either, not sure how i got on the list.

[rleng1]

Possible decoys. will need help with stops as well.

[AllZWay]

Nope...not me either. I am still not 100% sure my car will last for a 20 minute race.

[cobra132]

Lets do a pooled pit crew deal.

I'm assuming we are thunder?

[AllZWay]

Yes...that is correct.

[Wade]

Just got the welcome letter. Says clockwise. Thought we always ran counter clockwise (normal direction) in the spring and clockwise (reverse direction) in the fall? Did I miss something?

[MikeS]

Global polarity has shifted due to the 2013 solar maximum.

You are right. I don't know why it changed.

[AI#97]

If anyone needs Camaro parts...I have a few spares. I know I owe Leinart an alternator for $50. Also have LS6 intake for the AI boys $300 with stock TB. A couple of MAF's and a stock LS6 cam. Looking to get this stuff out of the way.

See you guys in a couple days. Be safe on your way down.

[Suck fumes]

I wish we ran it CCW. CW is kinda Harry in the new turn 1. To much funneling into a tight space.

[kbrewmr2]

the new boss likes to screw with us :)

If we want to get SUPER techical it always alternates directions. Only doing TWS once last year threw off the pattern ;)

I wish you guys would do standing starts at this track like you do at all the rest

Funnel effect isn't as bad as MSR-C imho. More damage free bail-out options at TWS too last I looked at both

[Pranav]

Yeah I was kinda bummed to see that it was CW, i have only ever run it CCW including a couple weekends ago.

[Trublu]

Lets do a pooled pit crew deal.

I've now pulled out of Saturday's racing (Wife's birthday) and am running the enduro, pooled pit crew would certainly help me out.

[AllZWay]

My buddy Jamie and I should get there around 1-2pm and will help anyone who needs it.

[kbrewmr2]

time to learn how to learn a track, rookie ;)

my entire first racing season was down here, after doing DE & TT for a long time with SE and my race school there. Not only did I have to learn how to race, I also had to learn the stupid tracks down here at the same time! Trial by fire :) made me better in the end though

[rleng1]

I get dibbs on Jamie as crew chief.
Are we running the Enduro CW. Fueling will be on the opposite side.

I think we tried once but everyone just ended up pointed up at the wall or something because of the bank. There has been talk of doing a standing start at a different spot before.

Yeah. It's fun. :D

[marshall_mosty]

I'm bummed that Nov will be CCW... I've been racing for 8 years now and have never had the chance to run CW... Life keeps getting in the way.

I like the track way better this way. I have never gone through turns 5/6 correctly going CCW.......not once. Going CW 6/5 is my favorite part of the track. There are issues running CW that we don't have going CCW. Like running out of oil pressure going through turn two/one and my car can run out of RPM's at the end of the front strait if I get through turn two and one well. I have a .87 or .89 fifth. Also the local area drivers don't have as much of an advantage going CW.

I think this is more accurate

[Fbody383]

who cares... i can get off track either way.

[ShadowBolt]

After Cresson I will not disagree.

Think again grasshoppa....Jason and I have run many DE events this direction... We run very close to the CMC track record going this way...

[David Love AI27]

The straight between 11 and 12 is a good spot.. I've witnessed some really cool starts from there...
