3) sunscreen
4) helmet
5) sandwiches
6) water
7) coffee (for Jon)
8) tire pressure gauge
9) air tank
10) compressor
11) impact gun
12) driving/work gloves (ET's got the set i love hehehe)
13) fast orange
14) Foreman grill
15) driving shoes (soft soled)
17) tire pressure at 44psi
18) blue/green painters tape
19) shoe polish

Honda West will be sponsoring the lunch (burgers and such) and water for the event for our booth

 

^^ I can drop off my impact kit / compressor with you this week. I also have a good sized cooler if you need it.

I would reccomend driving or work gloves as well if you are volunteering. Also paper tower and hand cleaner, odds of you getting your hands dirty are pretty good.

 

Thanks man!
you will surely be missed.

 

Will you be around late at all this week at Honda West?

 

till 5:30 brosef

 

Sandwiches... george foreman grill and burgers!!!!!

I'd add comfortable driving shoes, perhaps some blue painters tape to try and minimize scratches and such, sunglasses and make sure the car is empty of all loose items the night before.

Adam are you coming to this and Jon do we want to meet somewhere before we show up there or just meet up there for a specific time?

 

Timmy's for sure as a meeting spot then we can roll down together.

Tested out the tent, works great.

 

Yeah use the Blue or Green painters tape for sure, I used masking tape and it was a total pain to remove and people were having a hard time seeing it as well. If you forget they can also use white shoe polish.

With tire pressures, stop at a service station and jack it up to about 46psi to start. If the car feels loose on your first run then bleed it off from there, I think with your thicker sidewalls the sweet spot is going to be about 44ish on the front and maybe 42ish on the rear. If you dot some shoe polish on the edge of the sidewall and tread you can see how much your tire is rolling in the corner, the trick is to try and have a little bit of roll onto the sidewall, but not too much.

When you guys are doing your runs it is good to have a pressure guage on hand and jump out to bleed off pressure right after your run. It will go up almost 10psi right off the bat which will make your car get really loose on your second run. You might want to adjust slightly after your second run, but you are starting to get into micro-managing it after that and any more adjustments will probably not be all that benificial.

I think the biggest thing is just keeping your eyes up and focused on what is coming next. Pick your line, then look ahead and follow through, too much focus on the cones will lead you into a corner too hot and you will end up plowing trying to compensate.

 

Thanks for the tips. will definitely try the shoe polish on the tire trick. So you said some guy will be coming by to try out the fit? whats his name.

 

Murrey, he is a very nice older gentleman who drives a bright yellow S2000... ET knows him.

 

Who DOESN'T et know?

 

Saturday I'm working but if you feel like making the trek out i can definitely sneak into the shop for a bit while we throw some on

And maybe grab some supplies?

 

lol Murray has a yellow s2000 ap1 he will probably let you drive it also. He used to autox alot at racecity and that's where I met him. Only spoke to him once or twice in person but we have talked a bit on the CSCC forums.

I will have blue and green painters tape Jon if you want to mask off some sections on Saturday we can probably do that.

Timmy's sounds good for a meeting point, shoot me an address so I know which one.

 

Supplies are good, you're working Saturday? Forgot what day it is?

 

Not sure what is up, the forum end of the SASC website is down. They posted something on here about it.

Weather is not looking good for Sunday right now, are we still running if it rains?

Jon maybe add a camping chair and umbrella to your list so we can setup a little area and have a seat between runs.

 

I would totally do it if it rained... not sure if they would run though. I think they have to run because it is a points championship.
