Re: July 17th - SPC
As far as the bags of chalk. I have not been able to find any at the sport stores around here that have it. I live just South of Tarpon Springs. I think there was a shop down south in Largo or that area that had it. Could someone that is aware of where it it and lives near there please pick some up? I did talk the guys at a local park here into selling me some a while back, but they were pretty clear it was a one time thing.

Re: July 17th - SPC
Thanks! Is there someone in that area that can pick it up? That's about an hour and a half round trip from where I am.

No worries. Back in the 70's, I used to pimp a bad-ass Diplomat around to local auto-x's. But it got to a point where it was scaring some of the kids.nc4me wrote:My bad Alex. It wasn't listed as a sedan and not many people pimp the sedans to auto-x's. PM Jaime and he'll switch you back to H.
I just hope my battery doesn't take a dump this time. If it does, I have my receipt and will be bringing it back to Willy-Bob at the Walmarts.

Looks like it's gonna be a good-un. Sorry I'm gonna miss it.

Re: July 17th - SPC
If I can get out of work early Friday (technically I should be off this friday), I'd be more than happy to do it. But right now, it's not looking good. I should know more by end of day today...snookwheel wrote:Still need someone to pick up the chalk. I will not be able to get down to Seminole before Saturday. Anyone live in that area? Thanks, Scott

Re: July 17th - SPC
No problem. St Pete's not a far drive, so I'll just drive on the slicks. 8) Hopefully the skys will stay clear till late afternoon. I can take slow backroads to get home if need be.snookwheel wrote:Thanks Eric. BTW, if you need tire transport, let me know.

Re: July 17th - SPC
Hope the weather holds for you. Post up quickly if you find that you will not be able to pick up the chaulk dust.... or is it lime? That way hopefully someone else will step up. Otherwise, there won't be any line marking of the course. I cannot get down there to pick it up. Meetings all day, and they close at 6:00.

Re: July 17th - SPC
Looks to be a fun course...the Brooksville slalom gets a bit trying. Add some rain and I might have a chance against those 'A' class guys...Looking forward to it!
Are we going to move the timing trailer off to the side of the pad?

We'll keep the trailer near the edge of the pad, but there's not room to position it off the pad.

NO RAIN!

Re: July 17th - SPC
I'm trying like hell to get out of here by 3pm. Come hell or highwater, I'm bailing at 5 which will give me enough time to get down there (unless someone else can make it). Next time I'll take the ole truck (it's down again) and buy like 6-8 bags so we don't have to keep panicing the week before the race. :shock:snookwheel wrote:Hope the weather holds for you.

Re: July 17th - SPC
Careful. That stuff soaks up moisture and turns into neat white bricks, we can't leave a bunch of it in the trailer. Couple that with the fact that we might only run every other event at SPC... this is why we don't normally buy more than 2-3 bags. 1-2 for the current event plus a couple extra to have on hand. (and there may be some in the trailer right now unless someone is sure that there isn't)Next time I'll take the ole truck (it's down again) and buy like 6-8 bags so we don't have to keep panicing the week before the race. :shock:

Re: July 17th - SPC
To whomever gets there early tomorrow (Eric?)... I left the timing box in the trailer after the last event. Could you take out the batteries and charge them for about 30 minutes each? We've got plenty of time in the morning before first car off even if somebody doesn't get to it.
Oh yeah, handle side faces up on the timer box before you open it.
