Joliet 2018 Roll Call! (Page 4 of 6)

My teammate claims he was told by the track that we could not camp there Thursday night if we aren’t doing arrive and drive on Friday. We would like to show up Thursday night so we can concentrate on getting last minute stuff done and tech Friday instead of getting there and THEN setting it all up Friday mid morning. Anyone know the ruling on this? Thanks!

If true, this would be a change from previous races at Autobahn.

Practice day page says that gates open at 5pm.

when I called a couple weeks ago I was told 5pm to 11pm.

The 350SX is ready to rock .... I hope...

When I called last week I was asked if I was registered for the Friday event in regards to camping and was told 5-10 to get in.

So maybe it is true that there is a no camping Thursday night if not doing the test n tune Friday?

Anyone else care to chime in. I guess I could call the track to be sure.

The Punisher Racing Caprice police car is showing up, we are registered under KDS-Performance. The car is one of the OG LeMon's cars and came back for CMP last fall after a 5(?) year hiatus. In about 9 laps, we cracked both heads, overheated the piss out the motor, and never had more than 1st and 2nd gear.  We went on the WIN!...  Heroic Fix at least...  and got a full 7 hours in on Sunday after driving all over SC to get a new trans and some heads. We hopefully have some more of the bugs worked out.

I acquired the car from the original owner (and good friend) last month, so new owner, new(ish) drivers. 2 of the drivers have a LeMon's race under our belt, 2 more are no strangers to B-Body's and HPDE event's, and our 5th driver should be able to see over the steering wheel.

Anybody know which course we are running at Autobahn?

probably south course, probably both days. I can't imagine 100+ cars on north course...

So apropros of this thread, does anybody want to act as guinea pig for a "Newbie Ambassador" this weekend? I'll see if I can get a little flag or something from the hardware store to put up at your paddock space that means, "Drop in if you need help."

Basically, the goal is just to shepherd them around or to answer questions or to help them find answers ("Who has a press for this wheel bearing?" or "Where is the Penalty Box?" or "Why is that one judge talking about Enver Hoxha?")

I don't know what I have for an incentive yet (if anything...sorry), but if you're interested, drop me a forum mail or an email.

Sure...not enough to do with four newbie drivers...it'll be fine.

But yeah, between me, Randy and the rest of the SHFC members (especially Mark from Product Design and his guys) in the area we should be able to appropriately de-confuse them.  That and I am easily recognizable.
