You got slot 1 @ 10am

:tup:

reminder sat/sun at PIR, NASA is running a full race and HPDE weekend... prob still spots for people to jump in, even new people that want an instructor... sign up here National Auto Sport Association - nasaproracing.com

I still need to get a helmet and stuff for this... not to mention get an upgraded suspension first. And new tires lol

run what ya brung! and loaner helmets are available... also fyi, the snell 2005 helmets are dirt cheap now and good for 4 more years... :tup:

orly... :icon08:

Hmm... got a link where I can price one?

a Loaner Helmet? Yuk!

Auto Racing Helmets:SA2005-SafeRacer



haha! yeah, they can be a bit nasty... that's why these exist Auto Racing Underwear:Balaclava-SafeRacer

Is there a place that I can go to, to test one out/try a fitting to find out my size and or purchase...?

yes! on saturday, go to the NASA HPDE event at PIR and people will let you try on their helmets - particularly if you have a balaclava! haha

don't think there is any comprehensive selection at a local vendor, unfortunately... could be wrong


HEY, 2000 posts!!! :)

I want to... What time during the day is it?? I'm going to Vivid for some Dyno runs if you wanna stop by/br0 out. I'll be there from 9:30 to... eh whenever lol

:woot: on 2k posts! :tup:

here's the draft schedule...

February 5 & 6, 2011 @ Phoenix Int'l Raceway - NASA AZ

... no vivid dyno for me... will be at PIR all weekend

Dyno Day Tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!:happydance:

Might be going to Proautosporsts track day on the 19th.

fir east?

Yup, east track. Will be the second time I have done east. I should be able to get lower lap times than last time, traffic permitting.

FIR east is all about the brakes... you'll want to have a brake pad with great feel and one that keeps performing when it gets hot... you on stock suspension? I found that it helps to underdamp the front compression to get more front tire bite... For whatever reason, I just don't do my best at FIR East - only running low 1:06's there... I may go there just to see if I can get in the 3s or 4s with a softer brake compound up front and my ABS now enabled... Tried running it w/o ABS last time and that was not good

XP10's front and back and Motul RBF600 fluid and my brakes worked great there and Arroyo Seco. I have never had the icing issue that people talk about or over heating either. I am on BC Racing BR series coilovers. I will keep you idea for more front bite in mind. Might have to try it out.

In case you haven't heard, looks like PIR is going to be shutting down its road course... sad day for AZ based racers!

Bad news... PIR - NASA AZ

Where do we go meow?!!? :ugh:

I like FIR east and Arroyo Seco because they don't have walls to hit (a couple walls but way off track and not generally where you would slide off if you push too hard).

Chuckwalla (2 hrs west), Firebird (Chandler), Inde (Tucson), AMP (Phoenix), and of course Arroyo Seca (NM)

Ouch. I remember taking my vette on there with the AZ vette guys.

None of which are close by the west side... :(

AMP

Arizona Motorsports Park, 15402 West Camelback Road, Litchfield Park, AZ 85340 - Google Maps

Is AMP open back up yet? I heard it was but their website is still down and I have not seen any track day info for them. Looking at the map, looks like there are no walls...is this correct?

I've never seen that place open, I thought he had to build a bunch of safety barriers before being able to open. But he ran out of cash...??
