HAI Event in March?

[exorcism]

what: BBQ at Track (newt2 is bringing his grill)

where: Second Creek Track in Denver (Track Site) (http://www.na-motorsports.com/Tracks/SecondCreek.html) if you need help getting there, ask.
-) Second Creek Raceway
-) 17010 East 88th Avenue
-) Commerce City CO 80022
-) (303) 371-6661
try mapquest (http://www.mapquest.com)

when: Starting 12:00pm Sunday March 10th

weather: Partly Cloudy, High 59, Low 30

bring:
-)Enough food for yourself, bring extra if you can.
-)Drinks/Ice
-)Cooler/Ice
-)Disposable Plates/Utencils
-)Clean Up supplies (garbage bags, towels, paper towels, lots of water)
-)Your car and a full tank of gas if you want to run
-)A Helmet* if you want to run

how:
-)It's $60 (so far) to run the track. If you don't want to run, you don't have to pay anything, just come out and have some food and hang out.
-)I called Second Creek, I'm waiting for him to call me back about any possible discounts if we can get enough people to run.
-)There's a house at one end of the track, that's where you need to signin and sign the waiver, and pay the money if you decide to run. Say you're with HighAltitudeImports for a Test. When I said that last time he didn't recognize the club name so I just said SCCA.

<font size="1">*A helmet is required to run on the track. Try to bring your own helmet as they only have one loaner. If you have extras you're willing to share, bring them too. The guy who runs the track said the helmets can be anykind for anypurpose.</font>


Who is or is not definately making it, and who's a maybe?

[forum]

I should have a car by then :D so i would be up for that

[TedR719]

I would be down.

[SC-MECHAM-WS6]

sure....

[tommy303]

It's been a LONG time since I was able to attend an "outing" with you guys....I'd like to come along!

[exciv2000]

Count me in again, so long as it is on a Sunday :)

[newt2]

Lets do a track day. The mountains are still going to be too sandy and cold for a cruise.

[Kwando]

I'm in

[BluByU]

Track day would be nice, but I need good food. What restaraunt would we meet at?

[exorcism]

We went to Rockyard Brewery in Castle Rock last time, it was really good, any suggestions? Do we wanna do it there, or atleast in Castle Rock again or what?

[newt2]

We can BBQ at the track. My BBQ is better than any resturant! :)

[exorcism]

:rofl:

[Dallas J]

Hey, if youre BBQing then im there.
-Dallas J

[exorcism]

sounds good but do we really wanna get that stuff all over our cars? there's not really any bathrooms out there to clean up is there?

by "out there" I meant Second Creek unless there's suggestions for another track?

[SC-MECHAM-WS6]

no u cant...at least not at Bandimere...when we rented out the track last year we were going to have a BBQ but the people said something about race gas...and fire...and well u can draw your own conclusion.. ;)

[exciv2000]

The first T&T at Bandi is not until April 13th.

[exorcism]

I don't think Bandimere is open yet, I heard the first T&T was April 13th.

[V8SpankR]

Wow,posted at the exact same time.

Are you guys sure now?:D

[exorcism]

heh I noticed that too, in anycase. Back to the topic at hand, where to go for lunch? What Resturaunt in what City?

If we're gonna go to Second Creek, we should probobly make it no further south than Castle Rock. Bandimere (as said) isn't open yet. I don't know about PPIR, Beacon Hill (which I don't know anything about anyway), or Pueblo Motorsports Park and if they're open for T&T's or not. I know Pueblo is more expensive than Second Creek too. Input folks :)

Bandimere's not a track, it's a strip. A track has turns. :D I was thinking Second Creek.

You can definitely cook out at any road course I've ever been too. I've even seen people cooking out up in the pits at Bandimere too.

As far as cleaning up, I'll bring my 2.5 gallon camping jug full of water to wash up with. Shouldn't be a problem.

I have cooked out at Bandi before and didn't have any problems. As long as your not trying to light a fire next to the fuel house or somehow you manage to get a flaming charcoal in your gas tank I really don't see what the issue would be.:confused:

[Dallas J]

when i worked at a truck stop in oregon pumping gas we sold 110, 130, and methanol. The rule was no smoking withing 50 ft or meters...forgot which one...So it should be fine if youre far enough away, but i dont know the laws here.
-Dallas J

[Tsunami]

count me out if you guys are going to be running on a track, I have no problem with the straight stuff, but it's a Cadillac :P

[desireems77]

Count me in :D

[wrxnate]

lets do it!!:Beer:

[exorcism]

so who wants to do a bbq at the track and who would prefer a restaurant. I guess I don't care, a bbq at the track would be fun and something to talk about for awhile to come :p

So:
what: restaurant/bbq at track?
where: Second Creek?
when: 9am? 10am? 12pm? 1pm? 3pm? etc..
day: Sunday March 10th or Sunday March 17th?

input :)

btw- I might be getting rid of my computer really soon here. I'm sick of it so I'm selling all the parts. Maybe I'll keep in contact with a lil pc or something but I doubt it. but if anyone wants my phone number, gimme a pm and I'll hand it out if anyone ever wants to invite me to future events or to hang out :)

[HONDA GHANDI]

If you make it a pot luck and have all of the atendees sign up to bring a dish or a drink or utencils it will be way more organized. newt has already signed up to cook;) If I make it (depends on what day) i will bring a tent and a cooler full of sodas and water.
There is only one Sunday I can make it in March and thats the 10th. Even then it wont be until after 12. But there should be a vote or a poll on the date. Just a few suggestions from someone who has organized a few events and had his share of screwed up meetings.;)

the 18th isnt on sunday...the 17th is and its my b-day!! i should be down for spring break so that would work out perfect if you did it then. Im up for anything.

[forum]

We need to get a little more warning this time, I would like to not get a call from my work asking me where i am :( if were gonna choose a date we need to pick it early this time, but the bbq sounds like fun

I failed the first grade and can't count, I fixed it, the 10th or the 17th :) so yeah, post your preference!

Heh when do you work next :D j/k i guess if you wanna be that much of a pain about it i will give up for now

[exorcism]

Nah all I gotta say is you n her are on your own ;)

[exorcism]

ok I made a poll here:
http://www.haiparts.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3322

[exorcism]

I've updated the first post, check that out for info and say what ya need to say :)

[CSMsi311]

bbq sounds good, but i won't have my clutch in time. I'd really like to run my car. If only we did this in late march or early april... Either date is cool with me. It is my spring break that week.

Jason

[exorcism]

hmm Tobi's only free on the 10th, I know that's 1vs1 and I don't wanna put priority, but the 10th is winning the vote, as few votes there are, but april is another month, and bandimere opens april 13th, so maybe we can try this one on the 10th and hit up bandimere on the 13th of april too? :)

[HONDA GHANDI]

I will be there but may not run the car. I am leaving to Jamaica tommorow and come back late the 9th. which leaves me about 2hrs to prep the car. I will be there for the fun and food though.

[exorcism]

do you have to pay $60 even if you're not gonna run? I just don't wanna be the only one who runs but I'd still like to see a lot of people there, for whatever reason they come :)

[forum]

wow is it that much? i dunno if i will be able to then, didn't realize it was so expensive *mutters*

[exorcism]

It is normally $60 for a day of T&T, other tracks just cost more I believe. However I'll ask him if you have to pay if you're not going to run, it'll certantly make more people show up just for the BBQ if they don't have to dish out $60 for it, especially if they don't want to take runs. I'll also ask about group discounts, maybe if we can guarantee 10 or even 20 cars or something maybe he'll drop it to $50 or $40, or even in half, I dunno.

$40 would be really a deal.:cool:

[exciv2000]

I'd run for 40 or 50.

[newt2]

$60 isn't that much. You get to drive as fast as you want for as long as you want. AN IDRC event at Bandimere costs $50 (might be $75+ this year because it's a two day event), and if you win the whole thing you get about 2 minutes of time behind the wheel, maybe three if you have a slow car. In contrast a lapping day at PPIR is going to run you upwards of $200.

We're not going to be racing, so if you think your car can't keep up don't worry about it. I'll probably be getting my butt kicked by people with "slower" cars. Just treat it like a nice brisk drive in the mountains with no cops. If someone's on your ass, let them by.

It's free to watch, I'm 95% sure of that.

[Kwando]

It is free to watch. Everyone should try it at least once. A good way to practive your heel toe technique.

[Tsunami]

But I have an automatic!! :(

[newt2]

Who cares! You like to go for nice spins in the mountains right? Same thing, just no cops. Like I said, it's not a competition. We're just running laps to have fun.

You should at least come out for the BBQ. That way if you get the urge while you're there you can run.

[Kendo]

The 10th will be the best for me as long as the weather is good.

I need a test day to try out my new sway bars, flywheel, clutch and LSD. They are being put in as I type this, so hopefully my car will be ready in time. Looking forward to seeing some of you guys.

Anybody with a Type R going for a track spin? I want to get an idea as to how my car compares.

[newt2]

There should be two of us there at least (Type Rs). One stock the other blown (mine).

It'll come down to driving as to who gets the better times. It always does.

[HONDA GHANDI]

My best with the R is 1:22:00 we will have to bring a stopwatch to see what that boost really does for you.;)

[newt2]

I'm sure you're going to kick my ass Tobi, You're usually faster at autox's and I've never ran 2nd Creek before.

We know what boost does with my 1/4 times being a full second faster than your S2000. ;)

[HONDA GHANDI]

Ill have to con you out of a few laps in your car. So I can get the feel of it on the track. Are you bringing your race tires?

[scingram]

Count me in. Hell I need a reason to test out the new tires anyhow. :)

[newt2]

Your on Tobi, you can take it for a spin if you like.

I'm just going to use my new Falkens, my race tires are bricks and I need to get new ones. I thin the Falkens will actually outperform them.

[HONDA GHANDI]

My race tires are in a little trouble also. they have that telltale snap adhesion loss. kind of makes it fun but a little scary too. i will take it easy on your street tires then.

[newt2]

I may bring the race tires and try them. They Yok A008s which were designed for road racing and not autoxing. They've always been hard when cold, but they heat up nice. Maybe after a lap or two on them they'll soften up.

I'm going to see if my Dad wants to bring his WRX out too.

[grndcont]

i'm in, and i'll try to bring some fresh steaks(my dad's a rancher)

ooh yeah, bring 'em wrx's ;)

[Kendo]

No race tires for me yet, but I do have a 6 month old set of Yok A520's that have only been used for a couple of track events.

newt2, I think I will avoid a wager when it comes to the 1/4 mile event against your Type R.
As for 2nd Creek, I agree it will come down to driver skills for best lap time. I have only ran there once and I found it pretty hard to get traction coming out of some of the corners. Thats why the current upgrade.

As for my car it is still in The Mazda Honda shop (yes I own a Toyota but I trust the mechanics there and they were willing to work on my car). The brain dead parts guy at John Elway Toyota ordered the wrong bearings and seals for the LSD upgrade so now my car is sitting on a lift and my transmission is spread all over a work table. After looking at the array of pieces I am certain I would not want to tackle this job in my garage. If lucky my car will be ready Wednesday.

Hope next Sunday is warmer and less snow covered than today.

[V8SpankR]

I think Pat has me talked into going even though I don't have my new struts yet.

[12seccivy]

hey gang!
i'd like to go to this meet.although i wont run the track just yet.
i'd like to meet all you guys..and check out the rides..
is there a fee to do this or do we just bring our own goodies..
cue me in and count me in(weather providing)

so far, it's $60 if you want to run, but if you're not gonna run, there's no charge. I'm working on seeing if there's any discounts for groups or anything. You should try to bring your own goodies, but some others may bring more than they wanted. And what'd I'd like ot try to do is, if the weather sucks on the 10th, we immediately replan for the 17th if that's possible for anyone?

Anyway, hope to see ya there!

[V8SpankR]

As long as it's a Sunday it works for me.

[exorcism]

yes, both dates are on sunday's

[forum]

Well ill come but i can't run it, studded snow tires wont work too well i dont think

[Kwando]

So is everyone meeting up this sunday?

I made the final changes to the first post in the thread.

[DrJones]

If i can get off work i'll come.... don't think i'll be racing though (that's the start of spring break so my car will be locked down in the garage for 3-4 days while i detail it). I could help with the barbecue... i have a costco membership so i can get burgers cheap.

Dr. Jones

[WinglessTT]

Val and I will probably be there. :fro:

[Generic]

I'll probably come, but it will be after 3:30 before I get there. I can't run either :(

Murdock

[exorcism]

Wow! Reading back thru this thread I've compiled a list of possible attendees, me and newt2 basically have to go but I put us on the list anway ;)

It'd be cool if even half of these people showed up! :)

I'll be there but I won't be running. I'll just bring the car for its looks hehe :p

--Dave

[TedR719]

I might just go up to watch, but maybe if I can find an extra $60 I will run :) I need to burn my braeks out anyways since they suck.

[V8SpankR]

Well right now it looks more like a car show. How many people are going to do laps,5 or 6 of us? ;)

I'm planning on running with my crappy suspension just to see the differences will be when I get my new struts on. I know it's $60 but I guess they will be pricey laps.

[DlandryTSI]

When i ran (with the NT450's that are on now) all I did was squeel the tires left and right. If you have stock breaks they will last 2 laps before they smoke like mad. Trust me I know from experience :).

--Dave

[TedR719]

Damn I guess I will just come down for the food :)

LOL go for the racing. Your not going to do 120mph on the front stretch like me :)

[scingram]

I will be there for sure. (weather permitting)
I will hopefully be bringing my friend Jay and his new Sentra SE-R Spec-V.
Possibly some others as well.

[exorcism]

Great! and yeah, it's not a tough course and it's not a competition :)

you can get up to 120 on that track? damn..I think I'd put my civic right over the 1st turn if I got going that fast :)

[SinisterWRX]

I'll be there, but don't you have to have a helmet to race? :fro:

[V8SpankR]

Yep,helmets are mandatory.

[exorcism]

As I said, yes you must have a helmet to run the track, they have one loaner, however the guy who runs the track told me last time that the helmet can be anything really, as long as it protects some part of my head from some part of the car. So I plan on bringing a couple of bicycle helmets and I think he said that'd be fine last time. :)

cool, I might give it a try then. :)

[exorcism]

There's a house at one end of the track, that's where you need to signin and sign the waiver, and pay the money if you decide to run. Say you're with HighAltitudeImports for a Test. When I said that last time he didn't recognize the club name so I just said SCCA.

Anyone know if you need to skip that if you're not going to run and just drive into the padlock or whatever area or do you have to checkin anyway?

[BluByU]

Yes, you still have to check in. On the sign in sheet, you have to state if you are spectating or racing. If he's not in the house, just sign in and he'll eventually come up to you to make sure you signed in.

[forum]

hmm im gonna bring some motorcycle full head helmets but i still dont think i can get the $60 to run, gotta install a stereo and a few other things like registration for the car so im kinda broke :( but oh well

[Tsunami]

so where is this track exactly? And has a time/day been formally set up? Looks like quite a few people are going, maybe I'll go and watch you guys.

[exorcism]

Originally posted by Tsunami

Come for the food, stay for the skids! :P
You should try putting the address I put up on the original post (http://www.haiparts.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3313) and putting it into mapquest, on the map page there's a "get directions to this location" button you can use.

If you're too lazy to that, basically just head north or south (depending on where you're coming from) on I-25 and get off on 88th ave and head east for a long time I think. After one sharp curve it's between that and another, it's kinda hard to miss, tho the track itself can be hard to see. If you reach tower rd. (I think) you've gone to far, turn around, it's at the corner of a sharp turn on 88th, the entrance is on the southside I believe by the house :)

And the final date and time is 12:00pm Sunday March 10th, we never discussed the time, but no one objected to starting at that time. Tobi said he won't be able to get there until after 12, and Generic said he'd be there at 3:30. So there shouldn't be a prob hopefully.

[Kwando]

i should be there sometime around noon.

[Mark_H]

I'll try and make it, probably won't be able to run because my registration is due on all 3 of my cars so I'll be poor.
Mark

[exorcism]

Update about the track: I called the track back today, I didn't get to talk to anyone about discounts or anything but the message on the machine did say they were open on the 10th for practice (which I'm assuming is the same thing as Test&Tune as the message didn't mention anything else) however they are closed all next week thru the 17th, so good thing we picked the 10th and not the 17th :)

I'll try calling back again tommorrow about discounts. It is free to whoever isn't going to run if anyone's still wondering.

[Mr. NoSkills]

I will try my hardest to come!
I don't have a car yet, but I can bring a helmet for someone to use.
I'd like to meet some of you guys, maybe change some opinions about me =)

should be pretty much consider it a go unless it's raining or snowing?

[exorcism]

yeah :)

[Generic]

I'll bring my Helmet so someone can borrow it.

Murdock

[exorcism]

btw it's suppose to snow friday night but then get pretty warm on saturday and sunday again, so it shouldn't be a problem, but don't get discouraged because of it :P

we *NEED* this ;)

[exorcism]

if anyone needs to know how to get there, try using mapquest or asking, but double or tripple check it cause I now know three ways to get there, and I'm sure two of them work. Here's the ways I know so far:

C-470/E-470 to Pena (470 is a toll road, it'll be like five dollars in change to take it)
Pena to Tower
Tower to 88

I-25 to 88

I-25 to I-225
I-225 to I-70
I-70 to Pena
Pena to Tower
Tower to 88

so make sure you're sure of which way you're going. I have a cell phone if you want my number incase you get lost or something msg or email me and I'll give ya the number.

[02GTI1.8t]

wish I could be there:(

[Generic]

I will be there, around 4 probably. Hopefull some of you will still be around. I won't have my car...but I'll bring the camcorder. So, if anyone wants to do a lap around the track and video it, let me know.

Murdock

[93BlackHatchSI]

I'll be there this time Chris I'll meet you at 9:30am at Tire world cool.

[exorcism]

er, thought we agreed 10? :)
maybe it was 10:30, but 10 would probobly be the best idea.

[exorcism]

Come to think of it, if anyone in the Springs is going and wants to follow us up. Meet at the Tire World on N. Academy by the Blockbuster and Pier1 Imports at 10:00am, look for a Black Hatchback and a Blue WRX :)

[Kendo]

Well looks like no track time for me.

My car is still in the shop and will not be finished until Monday. I was looking forward to trying out the new setup on the track and seeing you guys, but it looks like I am going to have wait until the next event.

Weather looks like it is going to be great. And even though I will not be there I suggest that anyone on the fence about taking their cars on the track do so. It is more fun than any amusement ride.

I don't know,the Dumbo ride at Disneyworld gave me quite a rush.:eek:

I got another si coming. I talked to my friend and he wants to come and seems very interested in running his car. I'd run my car too, but i'm afraid after a lap my clutch will be gone.

You shouldn't hurt your car in anyway unless you're a really bad driver ;) Once you see it you'll realize it's a lot less extreme than you might think, you're not likely to ruin your clutch, brakes, or tires unless you try to race someone into the guy's house :D
Make no mistake, it's still extremly fun :)

[93BlackHatchSI]

OkOK 10:00 well work for me I guess. I have a some more people coming also. :Beer:

[exorcism]

Good! :)

lol, ok whatever you say :cheers:
and Chris, you wanted me to call you Sunday morning, about what time, 9? or are you calling me? in anycase, you said don't forget this time, but I already have :p

[Bedlam]

Well..it sure doesnt look to me like the track is going to be in any condition to race on tommrow. We'd have to see some pretty amazing heat wave to get all the snow and shit melted off today, I just cant see it happening on a track that wont get the attention of a real road.

Anyone interested in maybe a late lunch or dinner somewhere? I work REALLY early tommrow..if it was after like 2 or something I could prolly make it. Or does anyone think the track might be in condition to drive on?

Uhm, I still plan on going, if we get there and the track is covered in snow I'll give someone a call (msg me your cell phone numbers or numbers where you'll be at around 11:30 if you want to be called) and let them know, otherwise I'm still planning to do this :)

[exorcism]

Bedlam has agreed to go out tonight and check-out the track, but it won't be until dark but he's still gonna try hopefully.

Anyone want to formulate a quick backup plan?

[Kwando]

They usually are pretty good at keeping that track snow free. Did someone call them yet?

[V8SpankR]

Well,it did warm up better than the weather guy said so I bet the snow melted off. I think everythings still a go but it would be nice to know for sure.

[BluByU]

I'm still going for sure. I was out on the gixxer today and the streets are pretty much snow free. Since there's no shade over the track I imagine it's pretty much the same. I can't decide between taking the bike or my car again, but I'll be there for sure. Anyone who wants to do a dinner or anything fun (central city!) afterword should give me a holler. I'll be there all day.

Yeah..I didnt get a chance to run out there today. (its too damn dark out) but it did melt almost everything off around here today so I think it should be good to go. I'd offer to run out there in the morning and verify it..but I have to work at 6am so there is no WAY I'm heading over there before that.

Guess we can hope for the best..I'll be headed out there after I can escape from work..so I'll be out there about 3pm (hopefully)

Hey all, just got back from checking out the track.

My report:
No one was at the track (I tried knocking on all the doors I could find) tho it was suppose to be open.
There's no snow on the track, it's not even wet.
There's patches of snow off the sides of the track in the dirt.
The "grid" is very wet and still snowy, but that shouldn't be a problem.

Sunday's weather forecast is: Partly Cloudy, High 59, Low 30

Hope to see ya there!

[BluByU]

Dammit, I should have gone out to check the track. I'm only ten minutes away! Duh! I'll be there around Ten.

[Kwando]

i should be there around noon.

[93BlackHatchSI]

Chris I'll call you tomorrow morning I got 6 more people to go.

[B20civic]

I will be there. coming up from schlongmont :D

[Kwando]

I have a few people from DTMpower.net to go.

Cool, I plan to try to wakeup around 8, but i may oversleep, hopefully not too much. I got a friend over and I got some other shit to do so I should still be able to make it to tire world by 10. In anycase, Whenever I wakeup I gota lot of shit to do so I'm hittin the sack.

[DlandryTSI]

I'm going to be there around 10. I won't be putting the car on the track.

--Dave

[WinglessTT]

Val and I should be there between 11 and 12. I won't be on the track either :( $60 is too steep for my wallet this week.

[HONDA GHANDI]

Who is going to track their car? I wasnt planning on it but if everyone is pussing out I guess Ill have to load up the slicks and floorjack.

[V8SpankR]

I think there will be only about 10 of us racing,it's looking like it's gonna be a car show. ;)
C'mon we need more racers.

Pat and I are getting ready to leave shortly.

[Kwando]

Tobi, glad to see you back. I might track my car. Would love to see how the ITR does with track tires. ;)

[Kwando]

Well it's not snowing outside. :) Looks like everyone is meeting up today. See everyone there.

[oracle]

yeah Tobi I'd love to see the R on the track. And plus you can give me a ride.oh by the way this is Jon with the celica

[exorcism]

I'd like to thank everyone for making it out, it was a great! Hopefully we can do something like this more often. Anyway I just got home so I'm not gonna put the vids up tonight, I will tommorrow.

Been a tough day, fucked up the car, and got a speeding ticket on the way home (I know I'm dumb, but it's kinda ironic as seeing how much crap we got away with in westminster after dinner... I don't see me keeping my license tho, they're totaling 30pts now.)

[exciv2000]

ANOTHER SPEEDING TICKET?! GEEZUS! You may have balls, but you're not too bright and you don't learn from your mistakes. I think your parents should sell your car and get you a tercel.

geesh man..ya know the difference between us speeding around in Westy and hauling ass out on the highway is that everyone speeds in Denver. You dont really stand out that much when you are going 10 over here. We were also in a group of cars as well..not a lot to save you when you are out on the highway.

Anyway, I was glad I made it out there..even if I had to work the evil shift from hell to make it happen. Fun stuff at that track.

Exorcism agreed to let us all come over and kick his ass. That will be our event in April, and I'll set it up at Bandimere at the first Test & Tune on the 13th. We'll have him displayed at the HAI parking spot with his ass hanging out of one of those wooden cutouts. Bring your paddles, bring your feet, flyswatters, anything. We'll get a day of racing in and ASS KICKING!!! Hope you can all make it!! :D
