The only thing I know, is that I was on Gary Patterson's rear all day Saturday. That was a "E" Day. If Gary was drivig a SS/GT500/SGT or V6, I did not see any light between his rear and my front.

If you are talking about the Vegas Bash. Yes. Reserved and Paid. Friday and Saturday are the "E" Days in my book. Might even have another photo with Carroll Shelby. If you are talking about the event August 15-16, 2009. Have to wait until my stang is back in my garage before I sign up for any event. Jason are you going to the John Force Car Show this Saturday July 25, 2009 and the Sunday SBMO Car Show in Torrance? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Voyer just signed up I believe. We have lots of entries for Saturdays events, but only 3 for the track day. I dont know what gives, hey more track time for us. I have a photographer going with a 3' lens that was $8k to shoot us on the Nascar oval. His camera is a 25 mega pixel SLR i believe. The images should be priceless! If we dont get 10 participants we lose our pit garages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby CS8 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 The tow hook thing is a problem for me. Otherwise.... It frusterates me when people put bad information out there!!!!!!!!!! There is NO TOW HOOK REQUIREMENT!!! The rules say "Tow hook installed or tow point established" I will show you were to tow from if you dont know. It's no big deal. They just dont want to mess around with finding a place on your car to tow from incase of failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby CS8 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Track Checklist Note: Many of these things don't apply to a person in a street car, so don't worry about it if you don't have a neck brace, for instance. Required • Helmet! - a very bad (and easy) thing to forget • Tech form - Important • Car Numbers – required on both sides of the car and rear, a minimum of eight inches high (we will have racer’s tape available at the track for this purpose) • Tow hook installed or tow point established • Cotton or Nomex clothing ONLY. No leather or synthetics allowed. Highly Recommended (not strictly required) • Driving Suit or long sleeve cotton shirt and cotton pants (although we allow short sleeve shirts and shorts, it is highly discouraged and potentially harmful in the case of an accident) • Fire Extinguisher • Extra Brake pads • Brake fluid • Drinking Water (Speed Ventures provides water but just in case we run out…) • Engine Oil - bring a quart or two, just in case • Hat - for Sun • Sunglasses • Sun Screen • Folding chair Optional • Duct tape • Distilled Water - Radiator • EZ-UP Canopy - Ideally there would be one for every 4 cars or so, because the sun can be brutal. Hopefully everyone who has one will bring one (and it makes you very popular too). • Windex - You will kill many bugs on your way to the track. • Brake Bleeder line • Racing Neck Brace • Racing shoes • Camera • Hose Clamps • Jack • Jack stands • Jumper Cables • Service manual • Torque wrench • Other tools (sockets, wrenches, pliers...) • Grease • Hand Soap • Ice chest • Map/directions/phone number of hotel • Map/directions/phone number of track • Paper Towels • Rags • Run Flat aerosol cans • Tie Wraps • Stopwatch • Race tires • Spare tire - you never know • Tire pump • Tire pressure gauge • Tire pyrometer • Flashlight • Funnel for oil • Gloves – disposable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year my daughter came and took pics of the day but this year she will be out of town. I paid for the garage spot just encase we don't get the ten.

HORSBYT Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'm actually registered with Speed Ventures directly. I ran on my own last time. I have a project at work that I won't be able to attend anything on Saturday, but will be there for sure on Sunday. Jason, I dunno if it will help you out at all, but maybe you can get SA to throw my registry into the TS bucket if that helps? It doesn't matter to me, i'm paid and in, just trying to offer help if you have a specific number to get to.... Let me know. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
