Drive Auto Club Speedway, Fontana with Speed Ventures Nov 17, 18

[Banzai Ben]

You get four 25 min sessions. Depends on which run group you are in but usually ends around 3:30-4:30.
You can always skip the last session though and cut out early.

Got a garage space and requested they put all the Viper garage spaces next to each other. Hope that's okay with you other guys with garage spaces, if not then let them know when you get there. Anyone without a garage is welcome to keep there stuff in mine.

See you there,
Ben

Aaron at Speed Ventures just confirmed convertibles are allowed as long as they have factory roll hoops. I'm signed up for the event now!

That's great that you can drive!  But, be sure to keep the dirty side down, those hoops behind your seats are made of aluminum and aren't mounted to anything strong.  I think they are more for looks than real protection.

I plan to see you there, though, I think I'll remain a spectator.

Definitely!  I'm really looking forward to that.  Very few walls at Willow

I need a few things for my car first, maybe tow hooks and a fire extinguisher.

at willow springs will my stock roll bars work? or do i need a full on legit roll cage to drive that event?
Me and my dad both really want to go but im not going to drive all that way just to be turned down because my roll bars are not super legit.

I did however get my fire extinguisher today thanks to scott! just installed it and it looks great! im a bit of a neat freak and i like to keep my car super duper clean so vacuuming it out with the fire extinguisher may be a bit of a hassle but safety first!

[Derek]

Derek,

If your planning to run with the '96 GTS in the picture you don't need a roll bar.  The rollbar reference is for convertibles, most organizations won't allow convertibles to run unless they have a roll bar or stock rollover hoops, i.e. viper, porsche, bmw, mercedes.

If your a neat freak, buy and bring a couple of rolls of blue painters tape and tape up the front facia and the front sections of the side sills.  It will help prevent rock chips.

Here's a link to Willow Springs Raceway (as a note we'll run the "big" track, not the "streets" track.

I haven't seen any info about paying and ViperX told me the events may be extended to two days.  Keep an eye on this board for more info.  Mike

Hey guys, FYI, plan on camping in the in-field Saturday night. Have another motorhome going with us (spectators). Come join us for cocktails by the camp fire. The fee is only $75 per motorhome.
