It's supposed to rain all day Saturday in Avon. Would Towne cancel because of that?

I doubt it, I mean we are in the car not on it LOL. Even if it is cold and wet it will be fun. More of a driver challenge than a who has the most powerful car challenge =)


THough cars with LSD should do well

We go no matter what the weather.

There is a covered spectating area with bleachers to watch from. Besides, as was mentioned you learn more about car control on a slippery surface than on dry pavement.

Looks like about 30 MINIs so far unless the weather makes some people cancel.

Sweet. Are there BMW's coming too or just MINIs? I have a friend coming with me that I'm probably going to let take a few runs in my car if they allow that.

It's MINI day. Just MINIs. We will stop running MINIs about 11:30 to allow the instructors to get their yaya's out then after lunch we will run from 1 - 2:30 MINIs only then back to instructors to end the day.

Cars will be classed as Countrymen, Clubmen and MINI. Times will be kept and you will be able to keep track of your improvement during the day.

yes, second gear all the way once you are rolling. I test drove the track earlier this year while arranging the event. Wished I had remembered to post the video from the test drive once the event was announced.

Can't wait! smile

 

FYI-- the address on the flyer from Towne MINI is wrong... it's really 2123 Lakeville Rd.Avon, NY 14414, not 3123. Not a huge difference, but I got a little nervous when I Google Earth'd the original address and there was nothing there. biggrin

So, when you show up at the track come right to the registration shed and we will get you signed in. Bring your license and helmet if you have one.

I'll check them, register you and give you numbers to put on your car. These are removable numbers, use them all the time at the race track. Would like to have them on the upper right corner of the windshield. They stick well, your challenge may be to get the windshield clean and dry enough to put them on.

From there, drivers meeting about 9:20 and then we will get started with the driving.

I hear there is a surprise coming. Can't wait to see it. wink

I bet it's a Coupe. LOL

Is there any reason DOT helmets aren't allowed? That's all I have, but if need be I can go find a Snell today.

Also, I was planning on getting there at 8, I guess that's too early then? I don't mind sleeping in a little more!

a DOT helmet is not good for in car. They are barely enough for a bike. Insurance requirements drive the M2000 or SA2000 requirements.

We will have 12 loaner helmets available. Find your size, use it for a run then return it to the stack so someone else can use it.

Numbering of cars starts with #1 - let your ego run amuck ! ! ! ! ! biggrin

One more question (sorry)... Is ECE 22 good? I'm told it's like the european version of Snell.
