So.... I am thinking what sixer (beer) to get for the side bet that the Bulldog & I have for the NorCal WCHC event being run with Team Continental. "Should I get some Gordon, Marin Brewing Co? Maybe a case of Sierra Nevada - I could buy a 12'er @ Costco." Then it occurs to me, I should get whatever I like ....since I am going to win anyway!

Just over two weeks out. Let the games begin!

 

Dude... I like IPA. Make it a good micro from the bay!

We'll be hashing it out back in the field, I think. I just got off the phone with Canada and Curt Storms (ITA guru and master engine builder) is planning on a personal goal of a 10.5 lap. in addition there is a new CRX Si driver by Kieth Carter who always outdrives me coming down.

Nick T was suppose to drive Steve Ingersoll's CRX but I think he's only coming down for the personal appearance. BUT, Steve is renting his championship car to Rick H (fast VW dude) so the H4 contingency $$ may be out of reach...

I want to invite all the Cal guys to come down and hang out. And if anyone wants to help work the event, I'll promise you the best paddock Tex-Mex dinner and brew/margarita fest you'll ever have! Workers are always welcome...

Mike, I have a fresh set of shaved Toyo's ready for the beer-battle so bring your best game. plus I got Chief JohnG in the pits along with Kyle to help set the car to "win". So, while you're out in the hot sun changing wheels and stringing the car, I'll be in a hamock doing some Zen napping.

But to make things fair, I will bring down some good NW micro-beer to put up for the race.

Greg ~ who can't wait to shame his H-T counterpart.

I'll come and help...I can do basic mechanical items, other than that I can be a tool bitch But I'll help where I can, I know that Chris is already heading up, and it'll be nice to meet everyone.

Hmmm.....I know that my car can do a :09. It pulled a few @ last years 12 Hour.

The trick will be for me to be in the car when it does. Unfortuntely, it has eluded me so far.

 

any of you guys gonna be there for thursday open practice? since ill be there wednesday instructing for a HPDE school, and i have a free practice day card, im gonna stay for thursday.

 

We will both be there Thur.

Derek & I will be up for the afternoon practice. I believe Greg & ?? will be ariving about then too.

 

We'll roll in to the hotel Wednesday night. We're driving straight through leaving Portland Wednesday morning.

 

Have a great and safe time you guy's, wish I was there!

Victor, you aren't coming either!? Bummer, first Scott & now you. I was hoping to meet you guys. I was also hoping you could give our H1 drivers a run for the money.

Got word over the weekend that a couple more H4 drivers should be coming from Cali.

like who?

 

Brian Lock & possibly John Morrison. These are new racers who have come out just for HC. There is also a driver starting to run HPDE with a Franky motor.

 

My beer of choice would be Sapporo, then Asahi and finally Kirin. I like the Sapporor beers becasue you can buy those at the vending machines.

Seriously, have fun and be safe. THIl has 3 miles of track and lotsa runoff space. The only things you can hit are the cows watching at turn 8. I really miss being able toi race.

 

Hey Greg! We will miss you out there. Hope all is going well for you in @ your new assignment.

Kyle - This isn't a swamp buggy race! This is a serious high class competition that demands a top-shelf wager... I bet Mike is searching the Cosco beer section as we speak.

Tyson - We'll have several TC drivers testing on Thursday afternoon. Maybe you can show us the fast line.

GregU - I'm really sorry you couldn't make it this year. Let me know your size and I'll set aside a t-shirt for ya.

Lots of beer is always good but how many non-ICSCC regulars are coming out to play.

 

It's next weekend fellas. Is everyone gettin' their **** ready?

 

I just came in from working on the car. Still have to change out front rotors/pads & bleed all four corners. Need to change the oil. Gotta wash the car. Still have to put some stickers on. Still have to buy !

Don't bother...

Just buy a couple of half-cases and call it good!

I just finished prepping the car and packin' stuff and realized I should have a 18 wheeler. (Living 20 minutes away from a track really spoiles a guy) The "Dog" is ready and on the trailer...

Greg ~ who still has to buy mosquito spray and NW beer...

 

I'm ready "I think". Everything is checked off the list, just hope i put everything on the list?
Iko!, means let's go!

What's the H5 count? There is one right?

glad it is time to go.
oh crap it's time to go
i got everything ready
i hope i have everything ready
iko !!!

 

You made a lisT?!!



This should be one hell of a weekend... I seroiously look forward to meeting the rest of the HC and H-T crowd.

Ditto !

 

so im headed out to thunderhill early wednesday morning for a HPDE event. I'll probably be camping at the track wednesday night since i dont feel llike paying for a hotel. if any of you roll in wednesday night, gimme a call 510-409-4101. ill likely be bored out of my mind staring at the night sky.

 

Just an idea-try a regional 'micro' called HeBrew from San Fransisco. No kidding - they even mail order it to us here in the eastern half.
Happy racing
