CO: HPR Winter Track Day March 13th

[Bishop]

I love Roland's solution to turn 2 just because in my opinion, it's not near being right and he knows I think it's hilarious lol.... Turn 2.... If you think you're apexing it late enough... you're not.

[blefevre]

I am sure I will be going along at half the speed of everyone else. It will still be fun!

[Roland H]

The lesson here: 9/10ths is a much safer place than 10.00001/10ths. :)

Or:

Even if it looks like you're not going to get through turn 2, stay on the gas and go for it. Don't lift.

[Bishop]

I'm bringing my tq. wrench, yes

[blefevre]

Look in the PDF, there's no formal inspection. If the car's obviously dangerous though, you'll get pulled. If you're confident in the car, cool. Me and David will both be there will decently stocked tool boxes, stands, and a jack, etc. We all take care of each other

Does someone have a torque wrench for wheels?

Well I think I bought my ticket. Just sent paypal and got an e-mail with no direction. Now let's hope they don't inspect the car.

I still have dirt all over the inside of my car from that.

[Bishop]

lol yes, Roland went off in the M, didn't hit anything, I actually halfway went off in my e30 too and it's fine. Just don't go off sideways (though, trees around or not, going off sideways won't end well).

[blefevre]

yours are probably fine.

Key word probably. Screw it, HPR is full of dirt anyways, not trees/walls.

[Bishop]

As a reminder (Brad) you only have an hour and a half left
To sign up for Sunday and pay. Also, roland drove my car and said the brakes on yours are probably fine.

[Bishop]

I'll call SCR tomorrow and see but if they don't have em, not the end of the world. I'm gonna see about putting together some brake ducts tomorrow, saturday is bleed day, remove dust shields, and make sure nothing's falling off the car or going to gush fluid on track... paying now.

[Bimmerman325i]

Ben, best chance for speed bleeders would be SCR.

I just paid for HPR day, and am stoked. Tomorrow/Sat early morning I'm putting brakes together and bedding car, then study, then Sunday HPR!

[Bishop]

Brad, bring your car to wings tonight and I'll drive it and see. More opinions are better than one.

Windshield - pics? How broken is it... 1 large crack? Baseball impact, etc. etc.. Should be ok as long as you can see.
Oil - probably fine.
Steering - No one's going to know but you... If you feel safe behind the wheel, come play.

Lapping days (as far as I know) are pretty much... Open the gate, please don't wreck and we trust your prep / judgement, and at the end of the day, close the gate... No idea though, this is my first open lapping day... The schools are a bit more involved when it comes to car health.

*ALSO*
Does anyone know where you can locally buy some speed bleeder valves? PO / shop rounded off one of my rear bleeder valves on the caliper, and if I'm going to replace em, I wanna buy the speed bleeder valves so I can bleed the brakes by myself. If I can get em local great, if not I'll order from Pelican. No need to have them before Sunday but it'd be nice
