JivenJim Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Poor mans Porsche Club checking in the Red 924S that likes to run with the M3 and Subie guys in HPDE3.

JivenJim Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 100. Sweet. My Defroster is on the skids anyway and should save me 2 mpg's on the way up with my winter clothes locker. Love that quote.

markseven Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 At the moment, weather.com "predicts" 106 for tomorrow and 100 for Sunday. Aye Caramba! I should have never believed them three weeks ago when they "predicted" mid-low 90's! Argh!!!!!! BTW, I'm the red '87 325is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbright007 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 106! Ouch! I did 106 degrees at Road Atlanta last year, and it was a brute. Am getting to old for the heat. You west coasters have fun and be safe. A few more weeks till I get to go out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You west coasters have fun and be safe. A few more weeks till I get to go out again. Werd. I don't do any DE's between June and September due to the heat. Regretably, in a moment of weakness I signed up... oh well, I'm sure I will have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Shawn M. Posted July 10, 2008 Members Share Posted July 10, 2008 The water provision is muy bueno - not with SoCal NASA, Unfortunatly. Ive not seen anyone ever go thirsty at a SoCal event. Most everyone brings lots of water, especially the NASA staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Shawn M.

Its 100F out and were gonna tell you no you cant have any water?? That water is intended for the NASA officials and volunteers but we share with everyone. Come by my pit and have a cold one bro! (Ill steal you one from Gregs ice chest! ) Most people bring their own, Gatoraid, water ect for the weekend. Last event I know if a couple people who burned thru what they brought before noon on saturday! Happens, it was just a high water use day. What usually lasted them a weekend didnt make it thru a day. I usually bring a variety of different flavored gatoraid and water just to mix it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcolangelo2005 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'm writing this from just outside Rosamond. It is almost noon and the temps are in the low 90s. It's actually quite nice. I think the heat wave is over. Two days ago, the high was about 110 F. Forecasted temps for this weekend at WSIR are in the mid-90s. I'll be driving my Spec Miata in HPDE 3. See ya' out there!

Gian Bowles Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Was lots of fun. Does anyone know who was photographer at this event? I seem to recall them having a booth in the cafeteria... but I was too busy to check it out. VanHap.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markseven Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 November 8-9!! #1 Clock. I've never driven this configuration going clockwise, only #13 (with the sweeper, not Star Mazda). Gas is cheaper, the weather will be nice, last event of the year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
