OK,
gang...you asked for it and we got it. The first GGLC track day for 2001
is scheduled for Friday, April 13. How can it be Good Friday and Friday
the 13th at the same time? Anyway, we got a special deal from Thunderhill
and
are going to cut off registration
at 40 cars. This is gonna allow us to run
only two groups so we'll all get maximum
track time. We'll be inviting other clubs such as Alfa, Miata, and Triumph,
so if ya wanna go, yer gonna have to act fast.
Cost is $175 per car and doesn't include
a meal, jacket patch, event program, classic car insurance ads, or even
a bag of peanuts. Gas will |

| be
available at the track and the snack bar will likely be open (we'll verify
that later).
Drivers will
be divided into two groups based on their experience and type of car. Because
of the limited number of cars, we'll be relaxing the passing rules compared
to previous events. In the morning sessions the less
experienced
group (Group A) will have passing limited to the 3 main
straights. In
the afternoon, passing for group A will also include the left
hand sweeper
section from the exit of 6 and to the entry of 9. For the more experienced
group (Group B) the morning passing areas will include the 3 straights,
and the sweeper section. In the afternoon Group B will have open passing
including all turns except the cyclone. "Open passing" doesn't
include racing
others into turns. Overtaking drivers will need to be sure the slower driver
is aware of them, and drivers being overtaken will need to watch their
mirrors and leave room for the faster car to get thru. We will talk more
about the passing rules at the drivers meeting.
Open cars must
have a roll bar, and no open wheel cars are allowed. Passengers will be
allowed |
