Spread the word DRIVING SCHOOL / TEST & TUNE 2/28 & 3/1

[bgriggs]

I am sending the call out to all members. We REALLY need your help getting people signed up for the upcoming driving school and test & tune. We only have 10 confirmed drivers and quite simply that's not enough.

Pre-Registration is required for the Driving School and highly recommended for the Test & Tune

All information for the event can be found by clicking HERE (http://www.fresnoscca.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56)

I also need instructors, which run for free.

Thanks

PeterGreat! I see two from the Miata club. That's a 200% increase over any prior attendance.

From the "Solo FAQs" in the Rookie Pit (http://www.fresnoscca.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=29)

What do I need to bring with me to an event?
To run you need a valid driver’s license and an appropriate helmet. However,
many regions have a few loaner helmets at events so you don’t necessarily have
to go out and buy a new helmet. Check with your region first. Some other things
that are recommended are a tire pressure gauge, appropriate clothes, sun block,
plenty of water, etc. and your will to have fun.

thanks guys! where would i get a helmet around here anyway?Western Speed & Fuel. Not at a motorcycle shop. Wrong kind of helmet. Don't make the mistake I did.

Get yourself a SA2000 or SA2005 rated helmet. Used is fine if it has been taken care of. Next year SA2010 will be released, and those standards will be good until the year 2020. I have an SA2005, so that will work until 2015.

Are convertible's allowed with out a roll cage or roll bar?

[SmokeyBear]

Are convertible's allowed with out a roll cage or roll bar?This is autocross, not track. Neither Roll bar mor cage is required. As a matter of fact, they are discouraged. Added weight.
