This is still alive - barely...I'll get back to you soon.
Misty - call me when you get over the Ford GT high.
I'm still in, let me know the details. I have about 1 weekends worth of tires that I need to destroy at some point.
date?
Will call later
OK - Misty has called in and she would love to help us with Rookie Day/Weekend. Although I got very generous offer from two different tracks/venues, I just don't feel that we would be able to have a high enough car count to make it reasonably priced for the individuals.
So, what I propose is that we invade Misty's TWS track day event the weekend of Dec 12-13. Depending on the numbers we get to attend, Misty has agreed to either mix us in with another group or possibly give us our own run group. "Rookies" or any others wanting to learn about what we do as CMC/AI would be paired up with a "Veteran" for in-car instruction, lead-follow on the track, side-by-side drills, possibly some classroom discussion, Todd Covini's Evolution of a Pass demo (he doesn't know that he's being volunteered yet), bench discussion and just general question and answer sessions while we are not on track.
Cost would be the regular track entrance fee of $295 for the weekend for the "Rookies/Students".
What I need now is a list of who is interested in attending as a "Rookie/Student" and who is interested as a "Veteran".
The whole idea here is to help the newcomers with any questions or issues they may want help with: improve track comfort level, improve car prep, improve event prep, improve event knowledge, licensing, etc. I think we had an official mentor program 5 or 6 years ago, but quite honestly, everyone who has been around is more than willing to help the newer folks at any time during the events or on the forum and the official mentor program seemed to dissolve away out of lack of necessity. This will be an opportuninty for that help to be more focused than during a regular race weekend.
Respond here please so I can build the list.
vet
chassis tuning
Rookie - All help needed!
I wasn't planning to do any more events until next year (trying to save cash for basically all new safety gear) but I would be on board for this, especially since it is in my backyard. It keeps the costs down for me as much as any track day could.
vet; whatever is needed.
How about $250 for the weekend for AI/CMC rookies and future rookies?
I'm in as a ole' rookie. It would be great help for myself and appreciate everyone's interest in bringing new (I didn't say young) racers along.

Veteran available.
Have Toy Cars will travel for EVO-A-P.
Speaking of Toy Cars, just got new Hankooks for the Focus and have 3 seats available and 8 bald BFG KDW's to burn up for on-track group "instruction".
:-)
New instructional game for the rookies....try to pass the FOCUS! :lol:
Might have two Neons and an Audi that we can use for on track instruction, as well.
I'd like to help out with this. Sounds like a good plan.
Not available - I'll be @ PRI.
I should be able to make it as a rookie/student.
How does one get invited to that? I need to take advantage of recent successes.Quote:

Tools needed that makes the posted image relevant or can at least be linked without any lame explanations
101 - Rules change submittal
The ins and outs (mostly outs) of submitting requests for rules clarification or changes
102 - Rules change submittal: When a simple "no" isn't good enough.
Dealing with the demeaning humilitation inflicted when the rules makers deny your requests
103 - Rules change submittal: Your request - denied; asked by someone else - approved
Dealing with the anger and frustration of requesting a rules clarification or change and having it categorically denied and seeing it approved when the same request is offered by some one with a red, kool-aid enhanced mustache.
101 - Keeping Forum threads on topic
Dropped
I most likely will not be able to do this, but if I can it will just for instructional purposes and with no car.
Mitch, you are recruited as Curriculum Director (and Grand Poobah).
I have an idea for a Grand Poobah uniform. :wink:

Bump. Y'all still up for this?
Event is open for registration. Go to http://www.clubregistration.net/. Create a profile and search for Texas World Speedway. Event date is December 12 & 13.
Have an event in 2 weeks, as well, if anyone wants seat time.
I could probably be persuaded to show as a veteran.Quote:

I'm in if this makes. Some of you know me from TWS, a white '07 Mustang most recently in TTC.
I just need a little incentive to start cutting up the car.
The Rookie Day is still on. I was waiting until about a month to go to start finalizing plans. I will get back with y'all before the weekend is over.
screw you liebbe.
public apology will be forthcoming
What a jerk.Quote:

Back on this event....
The date is December 12/13 at TWS. Misty is going to work us into or around her groups. We will basically team our rookies with our own instructors and will be having bench discussions about racing, prep, parts lists, etc. as well as on-track help with lines, lead-follow, braking, passing, running door to door, etc. Beer drinking Saturday night. Driving will not be at full race pace, Saturday night drinking will be full throttle. Non-cage cars are welcome, all cars must pass TWS tech rules. Passenger seats and seatbelts or harnesses in rookie cars would be a big help.
The list of rookies expressing interest so far...
Wade Zimmer (CMC2 - blue Mustang)
Randy English (CMC2? - maroon/white Camaro)
Nick V (CMC1 - white 3rd gen Camaro)
Eddie Rock (new Mustang?)
Kbrewmr2 (time trial director - AI/CMC future convert)
HoustonNW - Wayne (2007 Mustang TT car)
Jason Love (3rd gen Camaro CMC1)
I have not heard from Chuck Penny or Gary Roberts
Veterans who have said they would help out...
Liebbe (Fox Mustang CMC1)
Michael Mosty (Fox Mustang CMC2)
Glenn Landrum (4th gen Camaro CMC? - CMC Regional Director)
Misty Cain (Head Track Goddess)
Todd Covini (no car - AI National Director)
Jeff Wirtz (3rd gen Camaro - Current CMC1 Champion)
Matt White (New Edge AI Mustang - all around bad boy)
James Proctor (4th gen Camaro - Current CMC Champion)
David Love (?)
I need final yes or no from everyone.
The rookies need to decide if they are going to make this or not. If so, please register with Misty at TWS http://www.clubregistration.net/. I believe there is special pricing for this group of $250 for the weekend instead of the normal $295. Thanks Misty!!! Veterans will register differently with me and Misty.
Once you have registered, I will work with you to pair with a veteran who will then work with you for the weekend.
The purpose for the weekend is to help our current rookies and help others realize that AI/CMC Texas is where they want to race.
I'm looking forward to this event, hope to hear from everyone soon. I can be reached on my cell at 281-413-1948 if you have any questions.
Rob Liebbe
I'll register next week (after payday) - thanks so much for allowing me in! 8) Looking forward to learning more about and getting more comfortable with passes
I am definitely in. Would like to be with a Fox guru if any of the veterans will own up to such a distinction. The car is supposed to be ready, or as ready as it ever will be, so I just need help not doing anything stupid!
(PS: my passenger seat is about 15" wide. Sorry in advance! Mosty fits though!)
Sign me up for the Rookie Group!
I can't have a passenger in the racecar (unless you can hang on to a petty bar REAL tight)... but the street car will work if need be.
I'm in and will be there with bells on. awesome and thanks to all the vets for wanting to spend time with us rooks.
I'm in also.
I still have a stock interior with 3-point seatbelts and CG-Locks on both sides so you don't slide around too much!
I've been time trialing on Nitto Extreme 555RII's. Maybe I should have some CMC/CMC2 legal tires for the rookie day. Does anyone have some RA1's for sale?
:wink:
Rookie?!? A wolf in sheep's clothing...Quote:
