ADESA - DRIVING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE 2012 - OFFICIAL THREAD

[thrdeye]

Hi all,

A few questions on this event:

1. Will Junior karts be allowed to run? My son is jonesing to get back in his kart (me too!). It's been almost 3 months...
2. Will we be parking at the site overnight? Or do we have to show up on Sat morning at the site? We've got a massive 28' toy hauler with the karts, etc, that we'd need to drive down on Friday evening and stay somewhere overnight (Wal-Mart parking lot if nothing else).

Thanks, Scott

1 - Yes

2 - You could park outside of the ADESA facility if you'd like. It's secure. You could just drive over after we shut down at Wal Mart (it's less than 5 mins away)

Thanks, Chris. I'm heading to Nashville for a meeting today and tomorrow so I think I'll stop by and look at the site on the way home tomorrow. How much of the surface do we get to run on? Looks like the biggest lot y'all have around here, so I'm hoping for a 45 sec course...

Paddock in the front lot outside the fence. Run on the lot behind the fence to the left of the building when facing it from the road.

Thanks, Ted.

One more question: how long will Tech and Reg be set up on Friday night? Probably can't get there before about 8.

I'm registered and plan on towing the M3 there. I doubt I'll make the Friday evening registration, so add me to the list that will need to register Saturday morning. Thanks

Thanks, Ted.

We'll be there until it "peters out". i think we were there until about 9 last time.

Is there any chance of cutting us long distance attendees a little slack on this one. It would mean 1 more entry fee and a bright yellow grand sport to offer rides in.

1. Honoring anual techs from sister SCCA clubs

2. An automatic checkin with entry fee forfeiture for failing to attend.

This would allow me to get there at 8:45 instead of 7:30.

I'd be able to sleep til 4:45 instead of 3:30.

Clyde we can work with that. Just remind me to check you in before driver meeting

[Scoob]

I might need to go that route too depending on work Friday. Won't know until Friday afternoon.

Chris, PM sent

Hmmmmm... I have an annual tech sticker for my region as well.

But I still need to pay when I get there,even though I registered online.

I'll be there way early ( hopefully ) on Saturday and have the car ready for tech before 7:30.

Looking forward to running with you guys this weekend. I think I will get the "long haul" award...

[John Brown]

Slowly still getting some drivers... I see we got some Northern contingents coming down..
Good to see Dave R. Now if we can get our Western friends to get on board...

[TedV]

I'd like to see the FSAE folks make it.

hmm, where else can I post to bug em about showing up?

[PushinTheLimit]

I just signed up today. Still working on getting the car finished up and hope to have that done by Friday morning. I won't be able to come Friday night, but I'll be there early Saturday morning.

Well, was hoping to make this one but I'm going to be a no show for the remainder of 2012.

Got the Camaro back two weeks ago and the good news is that car runs and drives with the three stage dry sump. Bad news is that the motor mounts gave up the ghost while the car was sitting over the past 13 or so months, and the heat exchanger is not hooked up due to some packing issues (soon to be rectified, but I don't want to beat on a car that now has a 3 gallon oil supply without the oil being able to get up to temperature). Going to also take advantage of not running the rest of the season to bolt a new hood on (the factory hood got bashed while getting moved around, which is a good excuse to take 40 pounds out of the nose), and do some other body work repair.

Good luck with the event.
