1st NSX & Friends canyon drive on a RESERVED road on 11/10/06
- Thread starter CDub
- Start date
Hello, all. :smile:
Just a word of warning. I live in Acton, which is about 30 miles south of the Willow Springs race tracks, on the 14 freeway, and I go up there when the S2000 gang goes for their track days. They just had one in September and three of them got speeding tickets on the 14 freeway, in Lancaster, which is about 20 miles from Willow Springs.
Just keep an eye out. These people had radar detectors that didn't go off. I think they got them after just after Avenue K, where the freeway rises up a little.

Thanks Patricia, friend of NSX owners! :wink:
I heard that that area is the police training ground to catch speeders. We normally drive at speed limits around tracks. Just make sure that you don't turn this event into a $500+ event. $160 is all I want to pay. :smile:
Trust me, you'll have plenty of time to push your car on the track.
p.s. Patricia, we have a couple of S2000 friends at our event also. :wink:

Yeah, I've gotten a ticket or two on the 14 (I've lived here 21 years) and heard the same thing about it being a CHP training area. The bridges are all a mile apart (Ave. I, J, K, L, M, N) so that may have something to do with it. The last ticket I got there, I was clocked by an airplane between those bridges, who radioed down to three CHPs sitting there waiting to nail people. I saw the cops and thought I had it made but the airplane had already nailed me.

Hi Gene,
ANYTIME (John) actually has DIBs on Dave's spot. John, I suggest that you do something before some one jump on it. We have already reach the capacity.

Great and thanks. Would love to see you there John!CDub said:
OK, here is some info. We have access to the track at 7:30. Please be there before 8 am. You'd need to submit your tech inspection form and the time to get settled.
Things to do before the driver's meeting:
1> Check tire pressure. Make sure that you factor in the pressure change after a session. In order for me to keep the hot temp at 36f/40r, I'd normally set the cold temp at 28f/32r. YMMV.
2> Remove all loose items from the car. It is normally safe to leave things out in front of your car.
3> Double check fluid level.
Schedule
7:30 check in
8:00 General driver's meeting
8:30 Group B classroom
9:00 Group A (The track is hot)
9:30 Group B
10:00 Group A
10:30 Group B
11:00 Group A

2:00 Group A
2:30 Group B
3:00 Group A
3:30 Group B

Weather looks to be perfect on the 10th.

I am heading up Thursday night and staying at Essex House - anyone else going the night before? If so, let's hook up for dinner. Drop me a pm if interested.
The event is only 3 days away!!!:biggrin:
Please note that I have adjusted the time schedule after talking to the office. You can show up anytime after 7 to get settle in.
So the driver's meeting will start at 8:00.

Yes, we should be able to get to Rosamond by 7. Instead of sitting down for breakfast, I'd just get gas and pick up food and head to the track. If I get to the track by 7:15, I'll have enough time to get set up.
The rest of the people from the caravan can have a sit down breakfast before they head to the track.
What time do you think you will be passing by the 5 & 405?CDub said:
I know there is a south OC caravan. For those who live in North OC (Anaheim Hills) do we just wait on the side of the road or go backwards to meet up?

Because of the construction preventing an easy westbound SR-22 to northbound I-5 connection, I'll probably be coming up the 22 and across on the 91 to intercept the group north of the I-5/SR-91 interchange.

Do you just "hang out" on the shoulder for them? Isn't that dangerous?

Did everyone got the email blast Chris sent out? If not, check your in boxes, as there is important information in regards to Friday Funday.
One thing of importance is the tires. A quote from the email, so there is no surprise come Friday morning:
You won't be able to run if your tire treads are less than 2/32" tread and there is no refund!!!
Chris, one thing you didn't mention was the 3 Spin rule.
If you spin 3 times, you'll be asked to go home
I'll be helping Chris by doing some random tech inspections at the track to make sure no one is runnin on bald tires, excessive oil leaks, coolant leaks and other conditions that may pose a risk/hazard to participants/track officials and spectators. If you need to fix something, now is the time! No one wants to be sent home because of a mild oversight.
