In addition to the fantastic deal that this event already is, I'm willing to offer my house as a place to crash the night before (I live approx. 20 min from the track) provided all entrants agree to _not_ engage in gay sex in the showers. The rest of the bathroom is fine and any locations in prominent view of the windows are actually encouraged, but for the sake of hygeine, not the showers, boys. Guys, this is a hell of an opportunity here, so I'm not going to elaborate too much as I don't think it's necessary. It is quite possible that you will never get the chance to run on a track with a legendary name in motorsports like Akamiami piloting the one and only aNAlUBé, so don't miss out, because I may go pro and won't have time for amateurs in the near future. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

When?
I assume other cars than Lotus' can participate? I'm not interested in running my car, but it would be fun to watch. LMK, I may be able to make it. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

April 5th. Monday. Inspection is the sunday night before.
Other cars than lotus can run. see the technical spec sheet for inspection requirements, it's not too bad. The one weird thing is that you need to have a SA2000 helmet which is NOT a motorcycle helmet. The guy explains why on the evolutionm.net thread he made. it's because of fire safety. I looked into it though and those helmets can be had for 150 and always worn after the track day to either relive past moments of glory or for weird sexual fantasies involving whatever your sick imaginations can come up with. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

Summit shows them for $250. Where are you getting the $150 figure? I need a new helmet myself..... only for the fantasies though, but I'd like one that was SA2000 to look good for the track officials as well.

OK, and now my second thoughts - she's a huge track. Better have tires, brakes, suspension, cooling, and gas enough ...

yeah, I don't know why I said april 5th. It's June so that gives plenty of time.
I just did a froogle.com search for SA2000, but as Kazz pointed out, if you have a SA95 that will work now, I was just going to buy a SA2000 new as the SA95's won't be allowed in coming years. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

Just faxed my information sheet to the event organizer. Let me know when you guys are confirmed as well, those of you who are interested and who is planning on staying at my place for the event.
According to Pfeffer (head lotus guy) the event is already over 1/2 full, so don't procrastinate! -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

I would love to run this track, but I can almost guarantee that my car will not be running up to snuf for a large track like that in time. I may jut have to come watch.

they're now offering a catered lunch at the track with the deal. ...complimentary instructors for newbies too.... I understand if you're holding out for road head, but besides that, there's not much reason to not attend.
as far as not having a car, just whore out another saturn redline as a 'sponsor car'. you're a factory driver marcus! -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

My issue is it's a work day and, having just changed employers and some vacation time already scheduled, getting the day off is next to impossible.
... but trust me, I'm workin' on it. -------------------- ... she likes bein' forced ...

Can some one verify the actual date for this event? The difference between April and June is a huge deciding factor in whether I can make it or not. This is also assuming the registration is not already full.
