with that said.. anyone else signed up for the sept 8 TSSxFFD track day at The Ridge? Still a number of spots left. A lot of people originally indicated they'd go but havent paid even after it was announced that deposits were being accepted... I think people did that to add to their online credibility that they track their car.. :lol:

and before anyone adds, here are the standard excuses for people who say they'll go then dont:

"cant get a day off" (date was announced a month ago)
"need to install XXX" (date was announced a month ago)
"i cant win" (true story... and huh?)

:concentrate:
miss a few autox days due to myself being away and now that i'm back i am itching to get back into the last few events.


sucks for me that i'm an independent contractor and all of my big pay day jobs are on the weekends….

trollguy 08-11-2014 02:19 PM
work + subsequent income from work has a higher priority than a track day IMHO. lol

in any case, for track days there's actually quite a bit on weekdays =)

^^ This.

Mission is no PR or Ridge, but for the exact reasons that slowguy has cited, it is still a great track in its own ways. Especially for car shakedown, there is a bit of everything in the mix -- decent length sweepers in T2 and T3, set of linked turns in T4 - T6. Chicane / off-set gate type of turn at T7, and the increasing radius turn out of T8 / T9. The only thing that I am not a fan of are the concrete walls...

But I can't even shake down my car at Mission. 92 DB FTL

Sign up! We can run together in the red group.
I must be an idiot because I can't find where to register :concentrate: :derp:
If I get my WCB check before registration deadline ends and family isn't coming in on that weekend, I'll go :fullofwin:

you! 08-14-2014 02:32 PM

hmm i feel the opposite.. the car fish tailed more but i enjoyed it a lot more when the downpour hit

cant wait for the tss event next month :)

hence my low attendance at HPDE events :alone:

my original plan of attack is to attend at least a dozen session of autox, really master the handling of the car before getting my feet wet at track days (not the mention track day is more $$$) wish clubs could host more weekday autox events...

SourSamo 08-14-2014 03:17 PM
Anyone going to the Ridge August 29th besides me?

EndLeSS8 08-14-2014 03:25 PM
How much does it cost to drive in an event?

!Kodamu 08-17-2014 10:49 PM
Went down to Ridge yesterday with Kchan and !e.lo_

Here is a vid of me showing !e.lo_ the track and playing with Kchan before my brake fluid got boiled in the end.

was waiting for the defi gauge to fall out

Has anybody been to Oregon Raceway Park? How is it? Looks like it's a brand new or recently renovated facility and it's only an hour further away from me than The Ridge.

Ive been to orp once.is an amazing track.

trollguy 08-18-2014 03:01 PM
i personally prefer ORP over ridge. just that ridge is closer for me.. by about.. 3 hrs or so. :lol:

the ridge complex has nothing on the half pipe @ ORP IMO.

My goal was to hit all 4 of the closest tracks this year but unfortunately the car trouble got in the way of that. Financially I just couldn't do a big trip to orp. Can't wait to head out there next year.

white rocket 08-18-2014 03:45 PM
ORP looks awesome!! dying to try it and The Ridge. Becoming a parent last month and smashing up the ITR didn't really help my chances for tracking this year. LOL!

Next year though, I should be ready to hit up PR, Ridge and ORP. Road trips FTW!!

boatcaptain 08-18-2014 06:22 PM
great scenery when heading down to orp.compare to the boring I5 going to ridge or pr

!Kodamu 08-18-2014 06:26 PM
ORP is awesome. Best track in the PNW. It is the second link in my sig

dared3vil0 08-18-2014 07:27 PM
Holy shit there's nothing to hit at ORP! :considered:

Energy 08-18-2014 07:33 PM
^ Yeah I'm scared of the concrete barriers at Mission tomorrow...

duy- 08-18-2014 08:00 PM
you gotta be pretty bad to hit a barrier there, i wouldnt sweat it. ill see you there tomorrow

TjAlmeida 08-18-2014 08:07 PM

Spectators aloud?

What if I told you there's a 2 for deal at ORP coming up in a month and a half? You and dared3vil0 sign up together and come tear shit up (with no worries about hitting anything)

westopher 08-18-2014 10:04 PM
In October? I could probably swing it
