Is your phone number still the same?
Yep same #....I didn't point it out earlier but at T2 you can take a passenger....depends on track experience though. Spec Jay you are welcome to ride along on 5/2. It’s pretty cool to just show up and check out the cars; there's some serious crazy high end stuff that shows up.

I went out for one of the SCCA Track Nights at the Ridge Motorsports Park this last week Track Night in America and have to say I had a good time. A very good deal for $150. They have another event next month at the Ridge and also events at PIR.

Here's a link to one lap around the Ridge

One of my track tires got a screw in it and my street tires are starting to get long in the tooth, will probably just auto-x with BSCC for the rest of the season

Well it's that time of the year again to plan to get out and drive your car. There are several ways to drive your car fast without worrying about other cars and tickets.

There are several groups for Auto-X and they all have novice classes and instructors for first timers. Here are links to there schedules for 2016. WWSCC will be adding more dates so pick an event and come on out.

Bremerton Sports Car Club
2016 Quick Schedule

SCCA and WWSCC
Western Washington Sports Car Council - Schedule

For those that are interested in full track events at Pacific Raceway, The Ridge Motorsports Park or PIR here are two groups that I recommend and will be at several of there events

SCCA Track Nights are weekday events that start at 4pm and have groups for first timers with instructors and also groups for those with more experience. You get 3 20 min runs for $150.00 which is a good deal.

Have a Look! - Track Night Calendar and More Tracks Announced - Track Night in America

Hook On Driving also has groups for beginners. They are more expensive but it's a full day with 5 20 min sessions and lunch.

https://www.hookedondriving.com/hook...rthwest-Region


Come on out and have a good time driving your car

Good meeting you today. Here is some info on the tires I'm running. You can only buy them at Discount Tire and they don't even know about them, they had to call Hankook. They only come in a few sizes.

Hankook Ventus TD Z221

The Z221 is the pinnacle of semi-slick, R-compound tyres. It is the tyre of choice for some of the world’s fastest time attack vehicles, thanks to its unrivalled performance (DOT-approved, E-marked).

Here in Australia this tyre has risen to the top of the list with outstanding results from competitors in Time Attack, Tarmac Rallies and Hill climbs.

Winner 2012 World Time Attack Pro-class and Open Class tyre!!

Medium (C50) Soft (C70)
195/55R15V
215/45ZR17W
225/45ZR17W
235/45ZR17W
255/40ZR17W
235/40ZR18Y
265/35ZR18Y
285/30ZR18Y
295/30ZR18Y

Yes, The soft C70. Since this is the first season I've run them I'll report back in a few months on my thoughts and how they wear.
