IROCC/NRC Speed Weekend 2011 - Carpet Edition - discusion thread

[Blake]

has anyone tried to contact the school across the road about some possible parking?

Excellent idea Jarrod.  Please let me know what they say after you talk to them.  It is Central Middle School you need:

Some how I think that when the school is a construction zone (Seismic Upgrade)  it's a No Access area as well

We are not going inside we are just using the parking lot lol.

Yes I Know

But under their insurance the whole area might be considered a construction zone. Maybe that's why it's fenced off

Hi all,

Just a note that we'll be using the basic ROAR guidelines for weight and ride height:


Touring Stock, Touring SuperStock
Minimum weight = 1380g ***
Minimum ride height = 5mm
6 Minute Qualifiers/Mains

World GT
Minimum weight = 930g
Minimum ride height = 4mm
6 Minute Qualifiers/Mains

12th Scale
Minimum weight = 730g
Minimum ride height = 3mm
8 Minute Qualifiers/Mains

*** New ROAR 2011 proposed weight limit. We are anticipating that this rule will pass very shortly, and so we will take this opportunity to shed some weight from our cars.

Hey all,

Reminder about parking for Saturday:

You are good to park anywhere further from town than the firehall.  However, if possible, please unload your gear in the loading zone and then park up one block by the gas station.  This will allow more available parking for our guests.  Walking from the gas station is only an extra half block... you can do it!

ARRIVAL TIME FOR SATURDAY MORNING

Hi all,

Please arrive at B&G at 8AM on Saturday.  The gym is used as a youth-shelter on Friday nights and they start to leave the gym at 8AM on Saturday mornings.  This means we can get in to begin setup as early as 8AM.  Bill's shift doesn't start until 9AM but I don't think we need him do we?  Nick, can you confirm whether we need Bill to get in the garage area?

Thanks,
Blake

" Bill's shift doesn't start until 9AM but I don't think we need him do we?  Nick, can you confirm whether we need Bill to get in the garage area?"

If we have access to the main building, getting into the garage area shouldn't be a problem. Or perhaps I should say, it has never been a problem before! One locked door however can make all the difference!

[Blake]

Cool, thanks for the info Nick.  If we run into a blockage, we'll still have plenty to do with table/pits setup and electrical cord routing/setup.  Oh, and drivers stand setup as well.

TC Weight Rule

Speed Weekend 2011 CE will jump ahead of the curve and adopt ROAR's new proposed TC weight rule of 1380g. We expect this proposal to be approved very shortly and so we will take this opportunity to shed some weight from our cars.  I know I have an extra 100g or so in my car!

Good day!

Will the race duties be posted here or will we be told at the race?

Thanks, Neil

[Blake]

Hi Neil,

Good question.  They will be posted here.  I should be able to do this later today.
