jkuchta · 10-24-2008, 01:22 AM

Hey everyone...

I just signed up for the trackday at Cal. Speedway on Sunday, Nov. 23rd.

Speedventures is putting on the event, and you all can register at www.speedventures.com.

I think Cali Yaris is coming....so you know it will be crazy!

Everyone who can should go to this....it's going to be cool!

natethegreat38 · 10-24-2008, 04:58 PM

be sure to tell me how the tires hold up!!

jkuchta · 10-24-2008, 11:06 PM

^I sure will.

rningonfumes · 10-24-2008, 11:29 PM

So close and yet...so far!

Gotta work.

jkuchta · 10-25-2008, 12:09 AM

Bummer bro. Keep your eye's peeled though....we're going to go to the streets at Willow after the first of the year!

I will be there on the 23rd running the Roval with my Cobra. Are you guys doing the Roval or Autocross?

Wow, I would love to do the Roval but I think I want some instruction first.

The $80 for a full day of Autocross sounds tempting. $30 for three quick runs at Solo2 events goes too quick.

jkuchta · 10-25-2008, 12:10 PM

We'll be running the roval.

Instruction is included in your first day with Speedventures. Novices are in their own group, and have debriefs after every session, as well as follow-the leader and/or instructor ride-alongs.

natethegreat38 · 10-27-2008, 10:42 AM

BTW John- It sounds fun and as we had talked about, I would like to go but I think I am working the L.A. Auto Show that day/weekend. Are you going to the auto show?

Yup. You will have plenty of time to debrief with your instructor in the car when you are on the oval

jkuchta · 10-28-2008, 02:03 AM

Nate, I'm going to try and go on Monday the 24th. Will you be there?

natethegreat38 · 10-28-2008, 10:59 AM

I might. I will check the schedule and will let you know. They are still making on-going revisions, so it might be a few days before i know for sure...

I saw your car out there I think..

Red gutted hatch with steelies and a front grille? How did you do in the autocross?

jkuchta · 11-24-2008, 11:52 AM

I didn't autocross...I ran on the Roval....and it was Awesome! This car is suprisingly quick and pretty neutral handleing. I'll post a full debrief later today.

Oh cool. Were you in the white group?

I ran in the black group.

Tamago · 11-24-2008, 12:22 PM

cali yaris · 11-24-2008, 02:29 PM

I bet that Yaris kept up with everything in the turns -- that's been my experience. And then pointing everyone by on the straights..

There were some FAST cars out there. More Z06s on R compounds than I have ever seen in one place.
