Carolina Motorsports Park- Open Track Event March 15-16, 2003

[cobrabitn]

The SCMC will have its first open track event in SC at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, SC. The event consists of two days of open track with instruction. Why not drive your car in a closed secure environment instead of out on the street where you jeopardize many people besides yourself. Take it off the street and put it on the track. :bounce:

For more information go to www.svtcobraclub.com/mainpage.html

[Big Daddy]

OK Tony I'll do just that!! See you there! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[stylin99]

Instead of doing the "Free" track event that was discussed before, why can't we work out something like a "half-price-for-members" event. Sounds like the sponsors are contributing enough to pay for some of the event. Man, can you imagine the flock of people that would come to this if it were a half-price event. ($75 a day for 2 days maybe?) Tony, any thoughts on something like that?

I don't know if I can fork up $275 for the event plus prepping the car costs. Maybe that can be something to look at in the future?

[cobrabitn]

Hmm.... I like that idea Steve. I agree with you and I really want everyone to go as a club. That would be $75.00 for one day though, not two or are you saying $150.00 for two days for every member? Also, I haven't given up on the free day yet so don't write it off just yet. All I was saying was that we didn't get what we were promised and I didn't want people thinking one thing when it wasn't going to happen. I'd have to refigure the cost and see what we need for a breakeven point and then go from there. Does that sound fair to you? :thumbsup:

[97whitevert]

great idea steve!! tony, sounds like a good possibliity, i think he means $75 each day, $150 total. thats what i got out of it.

[stylin99]

Yea, I meant $75 each day. Instead of an all or nothing track price...I was just thinking of some middle ground where everybody will still jump at the chance to pay some of the pricetag and still feel like they got a great deal that they can't get elsewhere. If that were the case, you could probably do one each year and not lose any money (pending sponsor payments of course).

[BOSSMAN]

Either way you do it. You will see me there.:thumbsup:

[cobrabitn]

That's great Bossman. You bringing the Chrome Yellow beast with you? ;)

Yeah, I figured I would give the cobras something to chase.;)

[johnbasf]

I hear ya Bossman.

[SIUNARA]

I'm all for the middle ground thing...even if you can't give an entire day for free to members, any break will be appreciated I'm sure! :)

I'm there no matter what...I'd just like to be able to save a few bucks. :thumbsup: ;)

[cobrabitn]

Thanks y'all for the input. We are still trying to go to plan A so just hold off till we get it figured out. Now if we could get about 80 people to go at $150.00 for the weekend then it's a done deal. I don't think you all realize that these things are not cheap. On average, it runs anywhere from $12,500.00 to $15,000.00 to rent a track for the weekend depending on where you go. VIR would be closer to $20,000.00. Please give us till the first of the year and maybe we can take a poll to see how many would truly commit to going if we did do a $150.00 weekend price.

Thanks, ;)

$150 for 2 days! I'm committed! (as long as it's a carolinas area track.) I've been wanting to buy a car trailer. Now's the time I guess.;)

[wildhorsesracin]

Not exactly sure what the American Iron schedule looks like, but if you need instructors...let me know...

[cobrabitn]

We will need instructors Jim. ;) Currently we have 4 but I am shooting for at least 10!

[wildhorsesracin]

Not sure what I could teach Cobra owners about driving, but I'd be willing to give it a try ;) ;) ;)

Just as long as I get to follow big John around for a while I'd be happy...

I just want to make sure that the chili pepper doesn't sneak up on me and embarrass me...

Jim, I'm sure you had the car out this last week plowing!! :rotf:

You can follow me anytime.

[Calvin_1976]

I hope to make this event my first school and open track experience! I have a couple questions if someone has time.

What tires should I bring with me? I should have a new set of victoracers by then on my spare set of wheels.

Do I need to wait for my member number before sending in the event registration or can I just enter pending until I have it?

Thanks.

[wildhorsesracin]

Calvin_1976 asked: What tires should I bring with me?

If it's your first open track experience - change the brake fluid, put on new pads, check your lug nuts - and stick with your current (stock) tires... you'll learn much more with tires that don't have as much grip!!!

[Calvin_1976]

I guess I should have said I have been autocrossing for the last year and spent that entire year on street tires to learn what the car will not do or rather what it will do on street tires. Do you still think I should start on street tires? I really want to get away from street tires and move up to something with some grip. Brake fluid, pads, and lug nuts have become a habit before events already and I always carry extra fluids and pads.

[cobrabitn]

Go with exactly what Jim said. Stick with a good set of street tires, change the fluid and pads, and keep the sunny side up.

You don't have to wait for your membership number to pay for the event; however, it may benefit you somewhere down the road when you sign up. ;)

Hope this helps out? :bounce:

[wildhorsesracin]

Autocrossing is a good start, you have learned the technique of crisis management in the car. But you'll find that your car will probably out run you in your first high speed event, don't worry, after a few events you'll catch up with it, we all do!!!

I can safely say that I thought I knew how to drive until I went to my first OTC, then I realized that I have a long way to go... and still do!!! It is a constant learning process, and once you get a taste for the track you'll be addicted to that learning process!!

Feel free to stop by anytime that weekend and I'll be glad to take you out and give you some pointers about CMP. I've driven a few hundred miles or so on that track!

[Calvin_1976]

All good advise thanks! wildhorsesracin I might hold you to that offer.

[2KWhiteSnake]

Can't wait!

[flynfink]

Garry, Tony and I visited CMP yesterday. We got to do a few warm laps. I drove two in Tony's 94 and rode for two laps in Garrys. WWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. What a blast.:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

See ya there.

:D :D

[cobrabitn]

We had a good time huh Jeff? ;) I wouldn't call them warm laps though. I had Pokey wide open at 95 mph so that tells me Fireball should hit triple digits with ease. His brakes were telling me that two laps on that course and you better have your brakes in good shape. I will admit, you will need to bring a couple of extra brake pads sets with you.

Going out to eat at Ryan's was fun too Jeff. We will have all of the information completed this weekend for the event so some of you can start downloading the event packet.

Jeff, thanks again for helping me with my surround system. I really appreciate it. It was fun watching the Matrix in its entirety at full sound. I thought the walls were going to rock....

Also, next time, let's have dinner at my house instead of you going home hungry, okay?

See you tomorrow:bounce:

[2KWhiteSnake]

Yeah, you've gotta have your brakes in good shape for CMP. I had brake fade a few times coming into turn 1. It's scary when you push the pedal and it stops with only about 25% of its normal stopping power.

I had stainless lines installed before I went to CMP, and even had new fluid put in, but I didn't know the quality of the fluid made a difference. I had boilover a few times from "riding" the brakes too much on the first day. Don't use cheapo quaker state fluid. I hear the ford heavy duty is pretty good(which is what I'm going to use). Yeah, and bring an extra set of pads just in case. :)

Carbotech is testing a new brake compound this weekend at Seabring and it MIGHT be available by next week for sale. If not they recommend the Panther Plus compound for our cars at CMP. They are one of our Club Vendors and we get a 10% discount from them. I haven't used their pads yet but Tom Lewis seems to think they are good.

[flynfink]

Here's a link w/ track info....

http://www.carolinamotorsportspark.com/

[wildhorsesracin]

I ran their pads all last year - they are definitely a better quality pad.

http://www.carbotecheng.com/main.htm

CMP will eat brakes, I wasted a set of new rear pads there last August - in one 18 lap race!!!!

Also, you might want to consider venting air to your front brakes somehow, that makes a world of difference when it comes to fade...

my $.02

[2KWhiteSnake]

Hey Greg!!!! I have a set of Panther Plus pads for track use. They will destroy rotors, but I don't think any more than any other track pad. They will stop 100% better than stock pads when they are warmed up. Very expensive, but worth it IMO.

Will be fun to have 2 white "01's" on the track at CMP, of course, I'll have the "Baby White Lightning"

Gonna be a blast. *Btw Greg and anyone that needs a place to stay is welcome to stay at our house, since we're only 20 minutes from CMP. We have 2 extra bedrooms. Cheaper than Jameson Inn, and the food and beer is much better. (Nudges Greg :)


Craig

[SIUNARA]

You don't need BIG brakes at CMP...and just to prove it, I'm thinking about bringing the 93 down with the stock brakes on it...rear drums and all!! :eek: ;)

[wildhorsesracin]

I ran for years on stock brakes at CMP...

But big brakes change the brake point for T1 from marker #5 to #1 1/2 ....

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That's a hell of an offer there Craig!! But I don't think your lovely wife wants a bunch of us track junkies hanging around the house! ;) I could however be talked into bringing some steaks over for grillin' and beer! :D :D ;)

On the subject of brakes I have cryo treated Brembo rotors and I don't think anything will eat them! I haven't been able to wear them down at all after two sets of Hawk pads! :D I'm going to have them turned the new Carbotech pads and high temp fluid put in before the drag day just so I don't have to worry about it! ;) ;) :D

[tnturbo]

I am going to make every effort to attend this event regardless of price. It will be my first open track event. Are outsiders welcome at this too, there are several locals that I am pretty sure I can get to ride down with me, only thing none of them have cobras, 1 02 GT, and 2 late model Camaros SSs.

It is open to anyone. Come on down and have a blast!!!

[cobrabitn]

Jeff,

This event is open to anyone but we will limit it to 60 students ad 20 staff people. Hope you and your friends can make it. ;)

[2KWhiteSnake]

Now you know my wife is cool with it. But if you won't stay, let's all plan on getting together here on Saturday night. We'll grill out, drink a few, and do some hot tubbin again(aka.big guy water displacement):). I'd like to get Don, Jason, and Pearson over too. I think most people are staying at the Jameson Inn(5 minutes from our house).

Looking forward to the weekend, sounds like everyone is gonna be there. Will be a "rookie revival" from last years Carolina Mustang event. Again, if anyone wants a place to stay over the weekend, you're free to stay with us.

Craig :bounce:

[cobrabitn]

Craig,

I was going to ask you to check on Ryans for us for a get together because we would hate to put you out. I know they have a private room we could use but we'll do whatever the majority wants to do.

Thanks,

[2KWhiteSnake]

Tony, anything would be fine with me. We can eat there, then everyone can come back here for a drink or two and some relaxation. Actually, I probably won't feel much like cooking after the long day, so your idea might be better. I can talk to Ryans if that's what everyone wants to do, but there is a better place called Jomars on Hwy9 also(2 back up HWY 9 from Ryans). It's buffet style, and should suit most. They have a private dining room also. I'll help out any way I can.

Craig

***BTW, you guys have fun at the meeting tommorow. I've gotta be at work at 8AM, so don't forget to mention another possible "Dyno day" in Columbia like we did last year at ATS. I had a lot of fun at that comparing mods, meeting people, etc. I'll be glad to organize that if there is enough interest.

[Big Daddy]

Drinks and relaxing at the tub sounds killer to me!! Ryans or Jomars or wherever will be fine with me. I think we'll have a good time just being together! :D :D ;)

Yessir, I think this will be the best event yet. I'm really excited about this one. Really great people out there. Don, Jason, and myself had a blast last year. Will be nice to have "Big Daddy" out there lapping all of us. There is nothing like a fleet of stangs on the track to wake up everyone in the countryside. I'm really looking forward to it. My wife is about to slap me because I've been talking about it so much. HAHAH

Well I don't know about the lapping part :D that is one tough track just be carefull if I'm behind you coming out of the carousel! or coming out of 14!! ;) ;) :D

[cobrabitn]

Craig,

If you have ATS' phone number, give them a call and see what dates theyhave available and we'll gauge the interest with the rest of the club. We'll probably have to go to other bb's to fill it up but I don't see it as a problem. Let me know what you find out and we can put it out in the weekly message.

I'm sure I can muster up a couple of people to jin in with us. Just give me a yell when you are ready. Also, Ryan's, Jomar's, it doesn't matter to me. If you make the arrangements then I'll be a happy camper. We had fun doing hot laps Thursday. ;)

[2KWhiteSnake]

I'll call ATS on Monday Tony.

[cobrabitn]

Here is the hotel information:

Hotel Name : Jameson Inn

Location: 114 Commerce Blvd, Lancaster, SC 29720

[2KWhiteSnake]

Good choice as they have plenty of parking for trailers, etc. It's right behind Applebees too. The hotel in Kershaw has no room for parking.

Tony, I'll call ATS in a bit, and I'll check with Jomars to see if we can have the back room that Saturday night. I'll probably be going to eat there sometime this week, so I'll let ya know.

Craig

[Big Daddy]

I'm BOOKED!! :D ;) Surprised Shelia someone called that quickly!! :thumbsup:

[2KWhiteSnake]

I'm BOOKED!! Surprised Shelia someone called that quickly!!

Sweet!

Tony, I called ATS and they said the dyno was open the entire month of January and February if we wanted to book a Saturday. It's up to the rest of the crowd. I had a good time doing it last year, but if they want to wait til spring, that's fine also. He said it would be $40/2 pulls like last year.

Let me know what you think.

Craig

[cobrabitn]

I will put it out on my weekly mailing to the club. Can you pick and confirm the date and put it out on some other BB's for us?

Thanks!;)

[2KWhiteSnake]

Well, I'd like to get an estimate of a good date for you Tony. Don't think you were able to make it last year.

Craig

[cobrabitn]

Oh, I'm sorry, you meant me personally? Okay, how about February 16, 2003? I still have to work that day but can make it by the afternoon/early morning, sound good to you?:thumbsup:

[2KWhiteSnake]

Sure, I'll check on that date. Last year we started at around 10AM and we finished up by about 2:30 if I can recall. If you couldn't make it til around lunchtime I could ask them if we could start at around 11 or so.

Let me know what you think.

Craig

[2KWhiteSnake]

For those of you beginner to intermediate drivers like myself, there is a test of 3 popular "max performance" tires on Tirerack.com. I have the newest Kumho MX that came out about 6 months ago, and I love them. It's one step below the Victoracers, but a step above the popular "712's". There are finally some user reviews there also(tirerack.com). All have been very positive in relation to open track situations. Not that I work for Kumho or anything, but I know some people might be needing some new tires before CMP(those who aren't yet ready for DOT track tires). Just thought I'd point out a link or two.
Tire is priced well also. Mine have worn very nicely.

I'm still wanting to come to this event provided I get the car together in time. I know I've got a couple months yet... but I'm having trouble getting some parts that I've already paid for. I'll let you know what happens with it to keep you updated.

I am probably going to use a set of Sumitomo HTR Zs. I am already used to them and used a set for autocross last year.

[cobrabitn]

Sorry Shannon, I meant 86. ;)

Craig, 10:00 am would be fine. I think I can be down there by noon.

I think I'd like to have a set of stickies for CMP just to see what it would do.

[cobrabitn]

We can now add Dan Wagner of True Blue to this event. He is bringing and will be driving his (1 of 1) 1999 Steeda Cobra. ;)

[2KWhiteSnake]

ATS says Feb 16th at 10AM is fine Tony.

Craig

[2KWhiteSnake]

Tony, how do I make a topic "sticky", I posted a new message under upcoming event's but it just gets lost. :)

We've got a Dyno day planned for February 15th at ATS Performance in Columbia, SC. Hope those of you in the area are available to come see how those mods have affected your horsepower since last years dyno day.

ATS Performance 6001 Two Notch Rd. Columbia, SC 29223
It will be $40 for 2 pulls.

We'll meet at ATS at 9:30 AM that morning, and get started at 10AM.

Hope everyone can attend

Craig

[Big Daddy]

I'll say this is a 50/50 but I'll try to come. I don't think I really need it dyno'd again but I might come and go LAST to see if I can beat eveyone else!! ;) ;) ;) :D



unless JC and Tom Cruise decide to bring there beasts and dyno them! :D

[98BlueVert]

Tony,

I think I asked you this before, but what are the roll bars req's for convertibles for this event.

You're fine Todd, call me!!!! :D

[cobrabitn]

Todd, you have a rollbar so you do not have to be in the lead/follow group.

If a car does not have a rollbar then they are in a lead/follow group with no passing and a controlled speed. There may be a few "newbie" coupes in this group too, depending on turnout.

Let me know if you need anything else Todd?:D

[98BlueVert]

Thanks Tony, I was really asking about it for other people w/o bars.

I think people like this or other newbies that might be in this group need to know that before they sign up. I'd be pretty upset if I signed up for it and then when I arrived was told I'd have to do lead/follow.

Just my $.02

[cobrabitn]

This is standard policy for SCMC. If you have friends wanting to go then let them know that.

I thought it was on the registration form but I'll change it and resubmit it so others will know.

Thanks! ;)

I hate to do it but please take me off the list for this event. Until I can afford a truck to tow my car home when something breaks I will have to stick to autocross and VIR because its much closer to Raleigh.

[Blown96Snake]

I'm in!! Sending John my packet today or tomorrow...I can't wait!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

I have run one event at CMP before and am confident that I remember the line, which run group should I be in?

Calvin_1976 are you still coming to watch?

Dave

[cobrabitn]

Dave,

You should be in the "C" group. The "D" group are for first timers or droptops. Even y the end of the weekend or sooner, some of the D's will move into the C group with us.:thumbsup:

Right on! I will do my best to be there. I guess getting a couple rides and being a gopher will be enough fun to get me out. :bounce:

[Spiffy668]

I was going to ask the same thing. If I swing down to be a spectator, will someone be kind enough to take me for a spin? Big Daddy, I'm looking your way.. :cool:

I wouldn't mind but I won't be in the A group so I don't know if I'll be allowed?? I'll be in the B group at least on Saturday but I may move up to A on Sunday depending on how comfortable I am and the opinion of my instructor. But if it's allowed I would be glad to have you ride along! :D :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Spiffy668]

Woohoo! :bounce: :bounce:

I'm teh n00bie to open track, but its something I've wanted to learn about since I saw the Ferrari Challenge up at VIR last year. Just not ready to drive myself, but hitching a ride with one of you good folk would be killer. :thumbsup:

If you come down and get a ride I bet you sign up for Sunday and then it will be all over! YOU WILL BE HOOKED! :D :D ;) :thumbsup:

I must say there is nothing like blasting down a straight and hitting the brakes just in time to whip around a curve and then weave in and around the curves to the next straight!! :D :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :cool:

[Spiffy668]

I bet you're right, which is why I'm leaving the checkbook at home. :) Its that enthusiasm that makes me want to ride shot gun with you. :bounce: :bounce: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Oh yeah, ever buy any of those shirts from bigdaddy.com? ;) :D

[justagt]

I will still have my passenger seat in for this event so I will be glad to give a ride to anyone interested.
oh, John, I will mail my form tonight.

[wildhorsesracin]

I will have a passenger seat as well - but I may not have the racecar back together by then, so it might be a ride in a street machine - nonetheless - should be just as (or more) exciting...

sheesh -

we have to have 11 - 13" and have a windchill of 20 below before they close the schools here...

(makes a Mom kind of glad)... :rolleyes: :D

I don't believe I've heard of him. Who is he? Enjoy the snow!

Dave

[SIUNARA]

The southern folk don't know much about "real" winters, unless their from the north. 1 to 3 inches isn't enough to cancel anything up here, but when you have no snow removal equipment, that's a different story.

8 degrees tomorrow huh...we're having a heat wave, it's gonna be a whole 11 degrees here tomorrow!! ;) I here it might get into the 40's next week...I'm gonna have to break out the shorts!! :D

[Blown96Snake]

SIUNARA-I live in Boone, NC (elevation 3,500ft) and they still call off school all the time. I guess the reason they cancel school all the time is because of the small mountainous roads that people will have to travel.

However, Appalachian State has on cancelled class 5, maybe 6 times in its history! Soooo, that means I have class tomorrow, our high is only 14, not too far off PA!

Take it easy, enjoy the heatwave and break out the Hawaiian shirts and flops.:D

He has an '01 Cobra and I met him on Patton Ave one night here in Asheville. He also manages a performance shop in Winston-Salem and is a distributor of some automotive addative product which I can't remember the name of right now. He and I talked today and I gave him your email address and Tony's new phone number!! So hopefully he'll contact one of you about being a vendor and joining the club! :D :D :thumbsup:

I know what you mean...I grew up in Cleveland, OH and school never closed! But here in Asheville they are very well prepared for snow and the roads are very curvy and hilly!! Makes for alot of fun when they get snow on them... and then mix in people who don't know how to drive on snow and watch the FUN BEGIN! :D ;) :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Being the Texas boy that I am, I think I'm allergic to snow. :D I'll be a spectator today from my couch, especially since the little news clips show a nice convertible mustang doing a mini autocross and a couple of 180s in the middle of an intersection just a few blocks from my house. :eek: :eek: :eek:

our daughter did that same thing last winter with her GT --

needless to say, the GT is in storage for this winter!!

She got a little cocky and found out what it was like to do some spins right thru a major intersection ... cop sitting right there ofcourse.....

she got a ticket and she deserved it... going too fast for conditions....

I'd say she's learned allot since then ... actually, she takes after me, only, I didn't get caught. It was with a 70 Mach I on black ice and fortunately no one was around to notice my disaster ..... :thumbsup: :rolleyes:

I even ended up in someones back yard --

I learned my lesson fast !!

[98BlueVert]

hey spiffy, i saw that too. if your going to cmp and wanna ride, let me know.

[SIUNARA]

Ok, I take back my earlier statements...my friend (rshelbygt) e-mailed me today and Charlotte got 8" of snow today. WOW!! :eek: :eek:

Hey everybody! I am Tom Griffin SVT Coordinator with Bob Bennet Ford in Columbia, SC. I am planning on being at this on track event with my 03 Cobra Coupe. I would like to thank you all for the invitation to have some real track time with my car. This post is to tell you about Tech Inspection Day at Bob Bennett Ford on March 8th. We are planning on having an SVT Certified Tech on hand to perform the tech inspection prior to this event. We are working on reduced pricing at this time for SVTOA and SCMC members. Do not have the pricing yet, but I will post it as soon as I get it. I am also trying to work out some special pricing with our parts dept for other parts that are needed! Please reply to this post or tomsgarage@aol.com if you are planning on coming by so we can schedule enough time.

Again, thanks for the invitation, and look out for an 03 Mineral Gray Coupe on track!;)

Tony -

Tim and I have enough mileage to get free tickets - -

we might fly down there and come watch for a few hours...

that is our 25th wedding anniversary and we were thinking about going down to the coast in NC --

we could rent a car and bee cheerleaders...

any suggestions on a nice place to stay down there?

:thumbsup: :bounce:

[Dean95CobraR]

John -
Just to let you know, I put my registration in the mail this morning. Not sure if the car will be ready but I'll deal with that when the time comes.:cool:

Brad,

Bring them on! Bring them on! We want to have about 60 students and 20 staff people so tell them to get their stuff in ASAP. Make sure they stay at the Jameson Inn with the rest of us too! ;) Let them download all the information off the website.

Bonny,

See my private e-mail. Stay with us in Lancaster and then hit the road to an enjoyable Anniversary with Tim! Congrats on the 25 years! :thumbsup:

Dean,

You and Tim can share my 94 if you want to put I have to warn you. It's SLOW!

wow Tony - thats really cool of you..

however, that is my "Sizzler" that your discussing here...
I'm not so sure its such a good idea for you to be sharin' Sizzler with the guys....

now, then again, if you'd want me to drive it...
I'll take it in Touring and take good care of it.... :rolleyes: ;) Honestly Tony - since I drove Fireball I have learned
to be a better driver and I am allot smoother now - I am learning more and more every day. I'm hooked......

what? No Marriott Courtyard.. I'm shocked.

ok - Tim and I will look into the dates and see if we can get us booked on a flight --

thanks!:thumbsup:

[cobrabitn]

No Courtyard! :(

[Dean95CobraR]

Thanks Tony, I appreciate the offer. I'll find something to bring down. I just hope it's my own car.

Bonny - If the plane tickets are too high, you guys are always welcome riding shotgun with me. I'll be leaving on that Friday and come back on Monday. I don't think Annette is coming down but I haven't asked her yet.

I think people like this or other newbies that might be in this group need to know that before they sign up. I'd be pretty upset if I signed up for it and then when I arrived was told I'd have to do lead/follow.

Just my $.02

The trailer is just south of Tampa -- about 1200 miles for us.....

Hey Brad,

I saw your Cobra at TB back in December...I haven't seen you in a while. I see you took the plunge and went unnaturally aspirated! I bet you love it! How is your car reacting to the new power, I see you have some bugs to work out.

Try www.racerwholesale.com for a helmet.

I hope you are doing well and can come out. Later man

Dave

[cobrabitn]

Brad, they have loaners for $10.00 I believe?

:thumbsup:

[justagt]

Actually, I don't think the track has any helmets for rent.

[cobrabitn]

Hmm? I was told "Turn 1" had some for rent, maybe I was misinformed? :(

We are having a Tech Inspection day at Bob Bennett Ford in Columbia, SC for any members who need their SVT vehicle inspected before the on track event at Carolina Motorsports Park. The inspection will be on March 8th. We are planning on having a couple of SVT trained techs on hand to do the inspection. After reviewing the inspection sheet with our service manager, we have been able to get some special pricing for the inspection. The inspection will take an hour and a half to two hours to perform and the charge will be $59.95. This charge is to cover the cost of the techs who will do the service. In other words Bob Bennett Ford is doing this as a service to SVTOA and SCMC members!

If you are interested in attending this tech inspection, please reply to this post, email me at tomsgarage@aol.com or call me at 1-800-868-3673.

Tom Griffin
SVT Coordinator
Bobe Bennett Ford

PS, watch out for an 03 Mineral Gray Cobra on track, its me;)

I just mailed mine out to you today. I also mailed in my SCMC dues today as well. Can't wait for this event!!:bounce: :thumbsup:

[cobrabitn]

If you live in the Charlotte area and want to get your car inspected then you can make an appointment at Young Ford who will do our tech inspections for $25.00 per car. Please call ahead of time and make the appointment. Any date/time is fine with them.

If you have any questions, contact Bobby Cox at wcoxsr@carolina.rr.com or ask for Richard Young if you have any problems. Anyone going to our event is welcome to get their car done, just tell them you are with the SCMC and they will take care of you.

Hope this helps out!:thumbsup:

John, I'm going, I'll send my registration in TODAY. Look for it before Friday. Got me another set of Kumho MX's last week, and 2 Nitto drag radials for Jackson. I'm good to go!!!

Craig:bounce:

[GeoSnake]

Hey guys! I've made a tough decision...I'm going to have to skip this event. I really want to take part but I've got to spend as little money right now as possible. Plus, there are a few things that I've GOT to do to the car to get ready for shows this spring. I will be doing an on-track event (maybe a couple) this year. Count on it! I still may come down to CMP on that Saturday to bug you guys!

Dammit dammit dammit!

I THOUGHT was finally gonna get to finish up the SVO this weekend (gotta install the turbo and finish installing the front suspension, only a full weekends work) and now my Merkur (my daily driver) has developed a wicked tapping in the valve train!:mad:

Dammit! I juust knew I was gonna be able to finish it for next weekend and be able to attend the open track event as well. To top it off, found out today that I've got to schedule some work for next weekend.:mad: There's no way I can finish the SVO, break in the Stage III clutch, get the 3" exhaust put on, and work out any bugs that are sure to pop up by the open track event. Seems like I'll NEVER get the SVO finished for a track event. If it isn't for work or something breaking... again, dammit dammit dammit! :mad::mad:

[cobrabitn]

Don't miss out on the fun Paul. Bring the Lightning, we already have a Lightning registered! ;):thumbsup: :thumbsup: :bounce:

[Mystic_Cobra]

John,
I'm still not sure if I'll make it or not. I'll let you know as soon as I convince the wife, I mean decide.

I did have a blast this weekend, even though the weather was crappy. Windy and dry is much better than pouring down rain, that's for sure!!!
We had both.

[johnbasf]

We will need all the help we can get for tech Friday night. Please respond here to let us know if you can help out. Thanks

P.S. Saturday morning too!!!:thumbsup:

[johnbasf]

The SCMC is paying for security to be there at night for the event weekend. The SCMC did not pick up the camping. I'm not sure what the camping cost but each person will have to pick up the camping on there own.

[wildhorsesracin]

So far every time we have camped at CMP it has cost $25 for the weekend, and yes, we'll probably camp that weekend as well...

c-Ya!

[johnbasf]

Thanks for the info Jim.

[98BlueVert]

john, i'm planning on leaving at lunch time to come down on fri to help.

[tomsgarage]

I called the track yesterday to ask about camping for a motorhome and cost. The girl who answered the phone said the gates for camping open at 5:00 pm on Friday before the event. She said there is no charge from CMP since they rent out the track for the weekend to the club who is sponsoring the event. She said if there was a charge to camp it would be determined by the club who is sponsoring the event?!? I am trying to find out if this information is correct, and if so what are we looking at for cost?

Tom Griffin

[SIUNARA]

Since Jay mentioned that he can help, sign me up as well...we will both be headed down at the same time so there's no reason I can't help too. :)

[2KWhiteSnake]

I'll help Friday night John, then if time allows, people can head to my house for a few cold beers and hot tubbin! Just let me know when you need me there, I can help all day Friday if needed.

The SCMC will not charge for camping. I think Tony said CMP would charge extra. If you find out anything let us know.

[johnbasf]

We will need some tourque wrenches for checking lug nuts.

[2KWhiteSnake]

I've got the torque wrench covered :) I can get a few of the "local" mustang guys help out if needed. Whatever you need, just let me know. I can get my hands on some people here.

Craig

[wildhorsesracin]

I always have mine with me...

[Calvin_1976]

Its looking like I will be in Va for work from the 12th - 16th. I was going to offer to help out where I could since I am not driving. :(

[tomsgarage]

Just got back from CMP where I got to meet Mickey Clyburn and get a tour of the track, what a place! Michelin was there doing some tire testing, and when they took their lunch break Mickey drove me around the track in his truck. This is going to be fun! It is a great facility, the track is awesome, fast, but also a challenge in the corners! I especially like the sweeping coner that leads to the back staight away! Can't wait to get my Cobra on track!

I checked with him on camping and he said there is no charge from CMP, that it was included in the rental of the track. I hope to get there Friday night for inspection at the Jamison Inn, if not I will be camping at the track with my Dad, and will be first in line for inspection and registration Saturday morning. He plans to get to the track about 5:00 pm Friday to set up his motorhome. I am wondering if he needs to be on a registration list to get in the track? Any info will be helpful. Also you all are welcome to stop by, and anything we both can do to help out , please ask!

Looking forward to a great event!

Watch out for the guy in th 03 Mineral Gray Cobra with a big:D

I just recieved a call from Jim Rathbun from Euroimage. He will be there to take professional pictures for our CMP event. Go to www.euroimage.us to check out his shots. I have purchased several pics from Jim in the past. If you'll remember the pics I posted from LMS, that was Euroimage.

The camping is free "IF" there are no more than 10 people camping. "IF" There are more than 10 people camping then it is $30 per camper. This IS a SCMC- CMP agreement . If anyone has any questions e-mail Tony or myself!!

[cobrabitn]

As John said, if we have ten or less then it is free but if we have more then it will cost each person $30.00 per night.

The SCMC is passing this savings on to you this year because it was passed on to us. This will most likely be a one time deal for campers as most renters at CMP charge for camping, and the SCMC will follow suit.

Maybe some of you know and maybe some of you don't but this event costs the SCMC well over $12,000.00 and we have to make sure our events pay for themselves. We as a club have a choice, pay less and have a crowded track or pay a little more and have some breathing room. I hope all of you will feel free to give us some feedback when all is said and done.

Let's go have some fun! :bounce:

[justagt]

this may have been answered, but can we have riders?

[cobrabitn]

Hmm? You been reading your club e-mail Will? Only SCMC members may have riders, sorry but if you are not a member, then you cannot have a rider with you unless it is an instructor.

[justagt]

I am telling you, I forget stuff. I will have to write my students name on my hand to remember it. The event is at VIR, right?? :D

Cool, I did renew so I am good to go. Or did you make off with my money? :)

[cobrabitn]

Hmm? You renewed? When did you do that....lol. :rotf: I mayhave said that when you had the membership lapse, can't remember.

Don't worry about writing stuff on your hand. We'll have name tags supplied for you newbies...

Make off with the money? Who me? :angel:

[98BlueVert]

tony, i must have missed this too. so riders, in any class? after you've been signed off to solo?

[cobrabitn]

Todd,

Only members can have riders, period. Only in A,B, and C classes.

Here is the schedule I have so far unless we get a few more to come: (note: this schedule is subject to change the day of the event, depending on participants)

Woot! The excitement mounts!

We will probably add a few more people but we are capping this thing at 80 total participants/cars. Right now we have 64 and I think that's a good number for manageability. Biggest turnout for an SCMC event!:thumbsup:

Hey Johnny

What time you gonna be at the Jameson? :bounce:

Big D, you want to caravan down? Anyone else from this area going down I-26 Friday?

[timz06]

Anybody know the best way to get to the track from atlanta?

thanks

tim

[Z06xr]

Tim,

Take I-20 past Columbia to Camden. Get off I-20 at Hwy 521 exit. Take Hwy 521 north towards Camden. Stay on Hwy 521 thru Camden and go another 25 miles or so. Track will be on right kinda out in the middle of nowhere.

I'm bringing my silver '02 Z06 so I'll see you there.

[timz06]

thanks, mapquest had me going up to charlotte, and then south, seemed kinda out of the way.

I don't like the drive to charlotte with all of the construction, rather take a back road, I will follow your advice, see you there

Tomorrow looks cloudy, but by Saturday, a wave of low pressure develops to our south. This moves our way, bringing rain back to our neighborhoods Friday night and lasting through Sunday morning.

Temperatures will struggle in the low to middle 50s with a chance of Saturday being washed out by rain.

Sunday afternoon looks dry but cloudy. We won't see significant sunshine again until Monday.
