Anyone in BACC Going To SAAC, SAAC 35?

[Excaliber]

badrich, I share your concern about open track, we all should take it seriously. But here is the key to survival, have fun, you've got nothing to prove to anybody. When it becomes evident, from a flag or your rear view mirror, someone wants to pass, wave them by. I will drive at my own pace, the rest of you will have to wait for the passing zone to get around me, I don't care.

Here's some reading material from the event...

Open Track Primer




Infineon Circuit Description




Flags at Open Track / SAAC-35

Ron,

These are really excellent materials and should be read by all, not just first timers. The material on the proper line around Infineon was very informative because I haven't run there since 2001. I was surprised at how much I didn't know or did not remember.

Rodknock-Doug,

As an FYI about this: If you did not see it on the WSCG event site, just yesterday I sent out an early message board / email notification on upcoming registration for the Western States Cobra Group member which included base lodging / hotel details. It also included details about Friday afternoon / Saturday details about attending SAAC, and our WSCG Corral that has been arranged (WSCG sticker will be required for that area) - this will be in a seperate area where all the WSCG folks and former WSCB'ers can hang out, park the cars, watch the races from there... Its gonna be very cool.

STATUS, as of 4/17/2010:
The first 30 spots are for the combined (group discounted) hotel rooms and 3-day weekend; Thur-Sun morning. The response is going very well in just the first two days. I'll be sending out registration notices mid next week I think so people can start faxing in thier hotel registrations individually. Once I get the first 30 up and going, I plan to discuss it further with the SAAC crew and we'll need to plan out how locals (not staying at the lodging) can join in on the WSCG corral/group - if they want to participate in the Friday night and Saturday things going on at Infineon. (Yes, working on it). Our WSCG sticker gets us into both thanks to the SAAC crew, Ron & Co. More details later. More details on the WSCG site / ANNOUNCEMENT discussion on the board.

Thanks for the update Duane! Look forward to hearing more details regarding the corral parking for those not planning to stay at the hotel for the weekend.

Great. Ernie may win the award of the loudest and the slowest at the track.
