I actually didnt find any rules on the page but I'd give this a read through.

Brakes and brake fluid is heavily suggested. I thought last year it was required. At minimum I would do fluid and be very conscious of brake fade while you're out there.

Where as BIR is lax with helmet requirements, the clubs that run the road course are not. Absolute minimum requirement (without looking at this years specs) would be SA 2005 helmet, if you're going to buy, buy SA 2010 and be done with it.

Unless you are planning for next year. The SA2015 helmets should start to become available this November or December.

For Proving Grounds road course - you are REQUIRED to have track pads / track fluid. If you can't tell tech what brand of pads and fluid you have, you cant run.

Helmets must be Snell 2005 bare minimum.

Other than that, it's fairly open.

Should be taking delivery next week

2013 24xxx white

Looks stock but has clear sidemarkers. From a dealership so I doubt they'd know if there's anything really done to it.

Coming from SD

Parked just outside of the roadcourse with the rsx crew.

It'd be cool to be neighbors.

We're hoping to have some guys out there by noon or so.

I think you have a typo there... You meant ON the roadcourse with my new BRZ.

Haha not this time unfortunately. Might venture onto the autox course but I'm not going to have extra funds for the road course until next pg. Agh. I'll have just moved when pg.2 rolls around. I'll set some aside for it.

I assume that you are talking about noon on Friday? Won't be able to get there until late, supper time. Slide down to the middle on the higher ground and save me some room on the other corner.

Maybe I'll see if we can park over there to keep something opened up.

I forgot, gopherboy is the hotel type

Who else is there that posts here also camps for pg? I remember a few 86's camping by us the one year.

Are you trying to park here again? We'll be on this corner again I'm sure.

Anyone going to CnC tomorrow? Debating if I should go into work or head up to the autoplex. Possibly both.
