Any pics of the venue?

Some pics I took of a January autocross held at that venue. It rains a lot here, so I'd say there is a 50-50 shot it'll be wet. I actually prefer rain cause it is way easier on the tires and a bit more exciting to watch

Cone dodging or actual track?

This event will be set up with cones. The Redding event will be on a go-kart track (see the black/white track map on page 1). I'm also working on getting a track rental in Reno, NV (1.2 mile actual road-course track), and a larger parking lot in Mount Shasta, CA.

Need more specifics if im gonna make a 5+ hour drive...

I've got a bunch of people from the bay coming, I'll try and organize a pre-event get together so youall can caravan or something. Even have one MKIV supra coming from Daly City (might interest dvdevo)...

As for getting DG trials to sponsor the event, its fairly simple. Eric Jacobs will walk you through the process, but basically you need to find a venue, get the insurance requirements and venue rental information, track down any supplies you need (radios, fire extinguishers, cones, flags, etc), and make sure you can get enough people to come to cover the costs. Basically you have to do all of the leg work to provide them with the information they need to get insurance

If you guys have any questions you want answered quickly, I'm almost always on AIM -- ma71supraturbo

kazuo · 03-03-2004, 08:42 AM

dvdevo · 03-03-2004, 12:35 PM

Drift_Ladie · 03-04-2004, 10:58 AM

how far is this track from the bay area...?

Var · 03-04-2004, 11:09 AM

about 270 miles north of San Francisco. Straight up 101 North

ma71supraturbo · 03-15-2004, 04:24 PM

Cool, hope to see lots of ya out there

ma71supraturbo · 03-23-2004, 03:39 AM

It took me 4 hours to get there from Fremont...

Blues13 · 03-23-2004, 04:21 AM

I'd like to sign up, is it still open?

*Knuckles* · 03-23-2004, 05:14 PM

how many slots are left?....what extra stuff is needed/should you bring to pass the tech?

ma71supraturbo · 03-23-2004, 07:02 PM

There haven't been any new pre-registrations in the last couple weeks and DGtrials is getting a little nervous. Tons of people say they're coming, but few have actually paypaled... But the event will happen even if 3 of my friends have to cover the cost.

$40 for prereg (paypal sales@dgtrials.com ) or pay $50 at the gate... I mean I understand the drive, but this is less than 1/2 the cost of the other upcoming norcal event and will give people much more seat time...

As for tech: You need a solid battery tie down, no massive fluid leaks, no sticky throttle cable, a spare set of tires, and a helmet...

Var · 03-23-2004, 07:08 PM

if it was on a sunday....

kazuo · 03-23-2004, 10:07 PM

Yeah same problem here.. I have to work on Saturdays

Also I dont have a helmet yet. :/

I'm working on the helmet part... anyone else going? If we can drive in a group and I get a helmet AND I get the day off, I'll go... :P
