well, you wont be alone if you do decide to go. Ill be down with 3-4 cars so you can join the caravan down and up.

Sounds good, i'll see you there Sunday. Stop by and say hi, i'll be in the gray 335.

Fwiw, you should probably sign up as soon as possible since the beginner groups tend to fill up fast. We got a group discount with Aaron. If you're interested, in the comments section while signing up, put "Jason Huang Group" and you can get free timing or $10 off

ahdaeeeee · 10-14-2010, 03:41 PM

Sweet =) I'll register once I'm done with school later on hehee...

FVM3 · 10-15-2010, 06:12 AM

You don't need much for your first event, just go out there and have fun. Over time you'll develop a (very very) long checklist of items to bring with you, most of which won't matter on a first event. Or bribe someone to give you one. Good luck and enjoy.

you forgot extra underwear LOL

I hope atleast the first one or two sessions they'll keep it just 4 people before moving people in from other groups haha. Although im scared all this rain is going to make things super muddy.

drive safe guys! so many spins with the s2k challenge on sat. but man was the weather nice. I have some vids i need to cut and edit

The essentials were mentioned (torque wrench, pressure gauge, and fluids) for a first time out. Get an instructor in the car with you as much as possible. Talk to other drivers to see what they bring and try to get in the car with someone with experience. Right now, the best advice is to leave your ego at home, forget about the gear, and learn.

Have fun and welcome to the addiction.
