rosscarlson Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Ok come on you guys, don't make me be the only Leggy out there again! Although it has been fun running with some very cool cars (especially all the sweet Z's out there). I'm definietly in - Grocery Getter it's time to take on HPR, sooooo much more fun than Pueblo is... -Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiden Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hmmm... I might be interested in this. I've been looking at hitting HPR at some point, why not make it now? I have some friends with S4s that could also be interested in this as well - I've been looking for an excuse to show them the true power of the Legacy (I'm tired of hearing how great the S4 is at everything).

rosscarlson Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 It really is a great track and loads of fun. It's also pretty forgiving - even if you did have a big off (and I've seen plenty) there isn't that much to hit, not like Pueblo where there are walls and tie rods buried in the dirt... -Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiden Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Anyone know how many Z's are already signed up? Curious if they are anywhere near hitting the 50-car limit... Squid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squiden Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 So is anyone else going to this? I don't want to be the only Legacy running around out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosscarlson Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Oh I'll be there so don't worry, there will be another leggy there - it'd be nice to see another Spec.B out there! Do you have any track experience yet? If not this would be a great way to get some... -Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiden Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 None... unless the Playstation counts So I'll be running around in the Novice group. It's something I've always wanted to do, I've just never had the opportunity. I'm looking forward to some fun, though! Speaking of, does anyone have a place around town that sells helmets? I was looking online, but I have no clue what size I need. Thanks, Squid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 It all depends what direction you want to go with track time. Some clubs require a SA rated helmet, while most hot lapping, driving school autox only require at least a M rated helmet. For M rated helmet you can go to just about any motorcycle shop and get a fairly cheap one. Some will be DOT sticker, don't get that confused with a snell rating.

rosscarlson Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Darrel is right but I'd highly suggest getting a Snell 2005 rated one. Ratings are good for 10 years so a 2005 will be good until 2015. I've got a Bell M2 in extra large (I have a huge head apparently). Not sure of anyone in town, I got mine online. There are some pretty good fitment guides out that should help. Squiden (and anyone else) you're welcome to jump in my leggy with me to ride a few sessions to get the feel of the track and learn the proper line. I'm not sure if they will have instructors or not but if not and you need someone to go around with you I'm happy to do that too. I'm by no means an expert or anything but I've got about 400 miles around HPR already so I know it pretty well... See you guys at the track! -Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiden Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Actually, I might take you up on that ride while we are there. I'm only stage 1 at this point, and would love to feel the difference with Stage 2 and more suspension mods than just my lowering springs.

Darrel Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 The club will ask the A and B drivers to ride along with the novices during their first session. Just pair up during the drivers meeting. To save money on the track day, you can also join the club if you wish. You don't have to have a Z to join our club. I bought my helmet at the yamaha dealer on north washington a while back. Closed face, open face, it's up to you. M rating is for motorcycles, but some clubs allow them for hot lapping and driver school. SA rating is cars for wheel to wheel racing like SCCA, RMVR, etc Saturday September 5th will be the first tech day, info in above post. Get teched early then you won't have to pay an extra $10 and will also assure you of a spot to our track event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grocery getter Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Darrel, Any restrictions on car type? I would love to take my Jeep SRT8 or my convertible on the track. Also if we can take a SUV I know a couple more people that maybe interested. Thanks! Just a reminder on our tech days starting this saturday sept 5th.

Darrel Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 No restrictions. Just keep in mind we do want you to be able to drive your cars home after the event. ;-) What kind of suv? Keep in mind most of those have a high center of gravity. And their tires really aren't made for high heat that you will come across driving the road course. Make sure you have long cotton pants, long sleeve shirt(cotton), closed toed shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrel Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 bring it on. ;-) I was at the z meeting tonight and Roy told me you had already contacted him. We have had PU trucks join us. Convertables are welcome too. Just a note, the z club rents the track to have fun, we don't allow agressive driving. We don't care how fast or slow you are, only that we have a safe track event for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
