2013 FT86CUP *bonus round* Streets of Willow Springs, 5/26/2013
 

Introduction thread here[/I]

This bonus round of the 2013 FT86 Cup will be held at the Streets of Willow Springs. SoWS is a 1.8 mile technical course, challenging the handling limits of cars, and is frequently featured on Motor Trend's comparison videos, and also hosts several magazine competitions a year, including Import Tuner's FR challenge, as well as European Car's Euro Car shootout.

As always, the FT86 Cup is geared toward the grassroots drivers, encouraging both veterans and beginners alike to come enjoy a day at the track.

Please give a shout out to Berk Technology, who has signed on as our title sponsor. They will be giving out prizes throughout the year!
@CounterSpace Garage and @robispec will both be present to give suspension tuning tips, demonstrations of the FR-S and BRZ's capability, and ride-alongs!

Buy me a plane ticket!

Wish I had the money to go to that track already!!! We're moving next month so funds are a bit tight.

Is this $90 total??? I've never been to the track before, would I be required to attend some class or something before that date if I wanted to go? $90 is pretty cheap for a track day

Yes, $90 total.

There's a beginner group, that will include some basic classroom instruction, a lead-follow session, and instructors available to guide you through the basics.

Plus $10 I think to get you in the gate (I'd recommend bringing cash). But it is absolutely worth it.

bastards! Gotta work that weekend.

Call in. You'll want to be there that weekend ;)

So who signed up for this event? I only see 4 fr-s that are registered.

I'll be there. This was a last minute addition :)

Tell your friends to come too!

Come see the Inovate Super charger!

ok for those who can't wait

:bellyroll:

I'll refrain from commenting :D

If all goes well, this will be a very interesting weekend for those in attendance.

Richard and I will be there. I wont be driving the FR-S though.. :\

Why not??

Shop that installed the five axis kit is remedying the issue byremoving and repainting the panels for me. Paint may not be fully cured so I'll be taking a different car :mad0259:

Did you find pads?

I'll be there as usual ;)

Awesome! Which days?

awesome! looks like fun

Just the 26th for the FT86 Cup event.

so cheap and SOW is pretty forgiving for a beginner, IIRC for the CCW config i only had to brake 2-3 times in the NB miata. Have fun and good luck to all, unfortunately i'll be there the day before at the just drift clinic :).

So what dirrction we running?

The Extreme Speed site says it's CW on the 26th.

I smell boost... :happy0180:

I can already smell my clutch just thinking about it...crawl before you walk though right?

Call in Sick You look awfully pale to me;-)

Would anyone there be willing to assist me in installing some new brake pads before we hit the track? Don't want to do it for the first time by myself. =/

Bring em to the track.

agreed 5 minute job!

Yup. Find either one of us and we'll handle it quick :)

More?

I'll be there to watch. Need to find an appropriately sized plastic tube to change the brake fluid before I take her out again.

I'll be there Saturday :-(

Home depot. It'll cost like 5 bucks and if you bring the tube/fluid with you to the track, I'll help you bleed it.

I will be there, along with a BRZ friend of mine.

bring fluid we have what you need!

I will likely have a lot of free time throughout the day. Worse comes to worst, I'll show up in the Subaru Outback I'm currently driving... (No I won't take it on track... although I would if it weren't a loaner car)

I'll be there with a different car. :sigh:

You guys are awesome! Thanks for being so helpful and willing to help out the newer guys.

I'll be there (Frs619). Do we need numbers on the sides of the car?

i'll be there as well! looking forward to the event!
