Hey Ben and others,

Just got the news that Angen's, Rocky and Terri, will be doing their Annual Brian Angen test and tune day on Friday, $300 for the day.

I'll be running this since I've never run Buttonwillow's track config #25.

You may be able to get a 1/2 day in if you'd like. 1/2 day would likely start at 1:00 PM and be about 1/2 price.

Contact Terri Angen for more info at: [email protected]

Clockwise/Counter-Clockwise?

Makes a big difference in track alignment and times.

Art, you need to make this one ..... so does fast Eddie and Kala.

Kala's got a ride with Mike Greenberg in his comp coupe. Know she'll get a kick out of that!

IF I can get my car mod done in time, and I didn't totally break the bank.
I'll be there to drive! Not just ride =12

Too soon to know yet...

#25 looked like it could have been fun.....

I requested clockwise for our group as I believe it to be safer ..... and we'll have a few "first timers" at this event.

Hopefully, clockwise will be the direction. 13 is a good configuration.

Dan, you're going to have to practice counterclockwise one of these days!
CCW is awesome, especially entering the bus stop from Talladega. CCW is a better direction, oh well.

Kala, sign up now and make it happen !
We need to get Stephanie and Glenn out too !!

This is THE ONE EVENT that you really shouldn't miss. Very Viper oriented and great support for our cars.
You'll learn so much and it will honestly make you a much safer driver.

Meet us in Sylmar on Friday.

Hey Jonathan,

Last time I was at BW with NASA, they ran CW on Saturday and CCW on Sunday.

I actually don't mind CCW but do prefer CW. I watched the race qualifying sessions and races on Saturday and Sunday. A bunch of drivers went off at the end of the Esses on Sunday; they couldn't make that turn.

Nobody hit the chain link fence that day, but I've seen many guys go off in the Esses (CCW) due to too much speed (for their ability) or hitting a candy striped berm too fast, upsetting the car and spinning off track.

Hope you can make Viper Days.

It all depends on how my knee is Lance... I'm trying to get my Tremec converted to paddles, so I can lose the clutch pedal... We're close on the mod, just no cigar yet =17

What's happening in Sylmar?

PCH VIPER · January 14, 2009, 08:53:43 AM

Hey Kala,
On Friday February 20, a bunch of us are caravaning out to ButtonWillow for Viper Days.
We'll be meeting some of the other guys going out in Sylmar.

I sure hope your car is done so you can come drive with us.

ViperX · January 14, 2009, 10:13:00 AM

I'm hoping you can drive at this event too Kala.

I know you'd enjoy it.

Dan

Kala · January 14, 2009, 11:09:14 AM

I'm trying really hard to get this mod done <9

Kobi,
Glad to hear you're going to make it.

Where are the Mike Bs, Deadly4u, Cousin Mike, Swiss Power, Mr. Vegas & Mr. Kawata? >c >1

Hey Art, I'll be there. And I'll try not to let a ringer drive my car in your group! Hope you're doing well!!

Pretty Cool Kala !
Doesn't look like something that would be done in 3 or 4 weeks though.

I would think that you would be able to handle Viper Days no problem.
Honestly, all you need to do is shift from 1st to 2nd and then into 3rd and you are done. I've run Buttonwillow in 3rd gear the entire lap with no issues at all. The Viper has plenty of torque and speed in 3rd gear and it matches well with this track.

I'm sure your knee is strong enough to do that shift sequence twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon.
You can rest your knee in the classroom between sessions.
