Got mine too. So stoked! Only a week away. Funny how many Solo groups there are on the schedule, I wonder which one I'll be in.

Same here, so psyched, its been 3 years since I've been to MLS. I was wondering about the solo groups too. I actually wanted a coach but don't remember signing up for one, do you just request it the day of?

look in the plastic pouch, you should have either a yellow (Y) or green (G) wristband in there behind the schedule. That tells you whether you are in the Solo Y or Solo G group. I have a yellow band so I'm in Solo Y.

I think if you ask the day of, they will see if anyone is available to be a coach but I'm not sure that they will have them available for sure. There is a debrief session after the first morning session, where you can discuss and ask questions (the last 2 times with NCRC, seemed like Luc is the one who handles the Solo discussions).

Ah ok that makes sense. I have a green wristband so I guess I'm in Solo G. Bummer, was hoping we'd all be in the same group

Looks like Chris and I are in Solo G then, I was hoping we'd all be in the same run group, bummer. On the other hand, ride alongs

Finally sat down and emptied the GoPro, didn't realize I had a vacation, 2 trackdays and a gokarting in there! Good thing I did, I would have ran out of memory for MLS. Here's my best runs (angle-wise, not times) for Sonoma and T-hill. All you vets, feel free to critque my lines & technique

looking good B! I don't have much critique for the driving, but for the T-Hill video I suggest mounting the camera a little higher next time so you can see more of the road/course.

Also that flapping seat belt is annoying to me too, need to figure out how to fix that on my car too haha. Always flaps when driving with the side window down.

BTW I see you still have that protective film on the sill behind the driver seat LOL.

oh man 1 week to go till MRLS! Time to fire up the PS3 and start "pre-visualizing" hehe.

Haha, yeah, I kinda mounted the camera with 2 mins before had to grid and immediately realized it was upside down, so flipped it (which is why its lower than intended), hit record and went. I was thinking of just looping the seat belt over the camera next time, we'll see.

And yes, I'm too asian to take off the protective film

1.5 yrs and counting.

I was just thinking of this today, there isn't a caravan organized as of now, but we should try to organize one.

garfull · 10-29-2013, 12:26 AM

I was just thinking the same thing, would be nice to be all parked next to each other (plus some shade would be greatly appreciated

). Where is everybody coming from? I know at least @PMok and I are coming from the East bay and @overlookedx is coming from SF. Maybe meet up in Hayward?
