Sunday May 29th will be the SCCA North West Region Solo II event #3 in Bremerton, WA. I believe registration starts at 7:30A.M. for the morning run group. Also this day is the BSCC Practice day at Bremerton raceway as well. I will be going to this instead of the NWR event because I will get more runs and I can get other people to drive with me easier. May 30th is the BSCC Event #3, I will be going to this as well. I already have a co-driver for both days but anyone else wanting to attend with me is welcome.

If anyone else wants to go and is going the Tacoma Narrows bridge route through Gig Harbor to Bremerton we can all meet up somewhere right before the bridge or something.

Either day and especially the practice event would be a good day for anyone wanting to try out racing their car in a safe and fun environment. If anyone who has never done this before wants to come out and try this Kari or I will be willing to teach you the basics and ride or drive with you to make things comfortable and help you improve. Cost for practice events is usually around $20 per run group. Costs to drive in the events are usually $35 non-members, $30 SCCA Members, and $5 additional off for preregistering.

I'm interested in the track day practice. Tell me more about it when you get a chance.

 

Tentative plan is too meet up at the Tacoma target right off I5 and highway 16 at 6:45A.M. and leave there by 7:00 A.M. for Bremerton for any interested both Sunday and Monday. I will be in my green 99 Miata. Address for target is 3320 S 23rd St , Tacoma, WA directions to Bremerton Raceway are here: http://www.wwscc.org/locations/bremerton.html

Morning session usually gets done around 1:00, there is a break for lunch, then afternoon session is usually done by 4:30-5:00.

Autocrossing is the easiest and cheapest way to get into racing. Nothing is required except that your car be in good running condition, your battery secured etc. A helmet is required, Snell M90 or newer rating, loaner helmets are available. If you want to try this but feel uncomfortable this is a good chance for you to go with some experienced people who will be willing to teach you the basics.

I usually bring food, water, umbrella, chairs, tools, cash, and my checkbook. Valid drivers license is also required and must be over 18. No reason to be worried about your car not doing good as this is just for fun and no one will care how bad you do.

Anyone wanting to please reply to this thread or send me a PM so I will know if I should wait for anybody.

 

I'm going to meet up with you at 6:45AM in the parking lot...

 

I am surprised DMP hasn't expressed any interest in going, come on DMP come out so I can show you how good an RX-8 handles. Don't forget any of you going on the Mt. St. Helens drive on Sunday there is an event Monday too. Looks like it might just be me, you, Jeb, and Kari, Kevin hehe.

 

My son and I just signed up to participate in the NWR event on Sunday. We'll be there in a Gray RX-8 (me) and a Blue 2nd gen. RX-7 (my son). We'll try to meet you at Target. Don't wait for us if we're late. Getting a 17 year old up early on a Sunday will be a challenge to our schedule.

 

Well make sure your son gets up early I would like to meet you both. Is this your first time attending one of these?

 

Guess everyone must be afraid of getting beat by a girl.

 

:D

I've got no interest in AutoCross....

:D

 

^^ See post from Kari... :p

 

Mke - are you coming up?

 

This will be my son's first official event and my first one since the early 80's. We both attended the Boeing Autocross club's driving school a couple of weeks ago and this is the first event we can both make.

I am hoping the thrill of racing will motivate his butt out of bed. If not, I will supply the motivation.

Looking forward to meeting some forum members and showing those piston boys what the rotary is all about. Besides someone has to represent the second and fourth generation. We can't let the first and third have all the fun. :D

 

Looks like I might not be able to make it - so don't wait on me Q
