TopSpeed Time Attack @ Talladega Gran Prix - Oct 3rd

[matthewAPM]

me neither

[Doppelgänger]

why not?? (both of you)

I don't i'm going because I have not heard back from TS....neither a "you're in" nor a "it was full when you pre-registered"...so I don't even know if I should make plans or not.

From the list I got the other day there are still spots available so I guess that means youre in. If you can PM me your name I can check for sure though.

Sweetness! Hope you all will be putting more of these events on the future. I won't be back in the states til the end of October, otherwise I'd be there.

*IT'S ON!!!*

That's right, I spoke with the track owner this evening and even though our numbers are much lower than anticipated, he's working with us to be able to run the competitive event. Just FYI, the competition insurance is nearly $1k and the required ambulance is $600. Those costs are what makes a competitive event SO much more expensive than a normal "test and tune." Anybody who's not a registered driver will have to pay the $5 gate fee.

So we will definitely be having the event and those that want to compete will have the AMB transponders there.

To rent the transponder will require the $40 transponder fee and leaving you driver's license AND a credit card with the transponder rental people.

This is great news. If you haven't paid yet, please call TopSpeed tomorrow and pay. If you were holding off registering, pre-registration will still be $30 cheaper than registering at the gate.

If you have any questions, please PM, text, or call us.

Thanks,
Siegel

I just got done putting in some fresh brake fluid. I can't wait.

[Mike Lowrey]

So how many people are actually gonna be at the event? Looks like only a handful have actually paid.

Either way, I am ready to go.

[siegelracing]

I haven't updated the paid list... There should be at least 27 competing and 30+ spectating...

[Big Baller]

I'm not going to have the STI ready in time, so instead a friend is going to let me run his Procharged C6 Z06....should be fun

Lucky you dewd. See you guys in the am. I'm so amped.

Not going to make it, just put new fans on the vette since the stock ones were having issues....fans don't work

[Seymour222]

This event was totally cool, well organized and super fun. I hope there will be another one soon with a few more people. If you have never tracked your car this is an awesome place to do so. I can honestly say this has become my new "drug" of choice. I think one of the problems in getting people to show up is ones lack of confidence, this track, track staff , and organizers totally welcome novice competitors as well as the guys that track a minute flat around tgpr. We need another one soon. I'm game to help, lmk.

[Member31410]

Thanks to the track owner for giving this noob another chance to get on the track after spinning out into the grass twice in my first session. With coaching from Siegel and Sanders, they kept me off the grass the rest of the event. The hours of this event was during my normal sleep hours (I work nights) so I was pretty much laid out in my car between sessions. I did have a great time as well and will be looking forward to gaining more knowledge at this type of driving.

[Mike Lowrey]

Great event. I had fun and look forward to the next one!

You were looping an SRT4?

[Member31410]

You were looping an SRT4?

Negative, it's a Neon. :boobies:

[Bus Driver J]

Negative, it's a Neon. :boobies:

I was the flagger at turn 2 when you did it the second time. I was kinda sad to tell them that you spun again cause I knew once you take 4 off twice youre done. Im gad the track owners let you back out though. That would have sucked.

I had a great time too even though I worked the whole time. I DID get a lap in the hatch though, lol. Ok not a full lap but it was fun none the less.

Glad everyone had a good time. I cant wait for the next one and maybe I will have a car worthy to take out.

[Elbow]

^How much does the track pay you?

[Bus Driver J]

Im a tech at TopSpeed and we had to provide our own flaggers for the event. Im not sure if I even get paid for working the event at all, lol.
