Well, now that Kirk has a car and a license, I thought it was about high time we all got together in one location so we could put names to faces. So, I'm proposing we all start planning now to attend the ARRC. I'm sure we could find a nice gathering place (although I haven't talked to anyone in the Atlanta region about any of this) and we could all shoot the bull and have a great time, especially when a Saturn wins ITA!!! http://Forum.ImprovedTouring.com/it/smile.gif

Anyway, post your thoughts on this. I figured if we started planning now, it might actually happen. Even if you don't want to race, come anyway. I'm sure there will be plenty of "barley" and stories to go around!

The Nuts (http://www.NutDriver.org) will be there, either as drivers or as course marshals. When you say "location" do you mean at the track or away from the track? A location at the track shouldn't be too difficult. Away from the track, there are so many options it may be tough to get people to agree. :-)

Hey, we tied to get you down there last year, Bill! (via Gregg at Isaac), so I'm glad to hear you have it in your plans for this time around.

We (the crew from New England that posts here who made the trip: Me, Dick ITA15, Greg Amy, RRAcer (Anthiny Serra), and our various friends) made a stop at dawn in NC to meet Kirk K. Which was cool, but we were all zombies from the drive, as ew hadn't slept that night.

It's a great idea, maybe the Atlata boys have suggestions about a good gathering spot.

Sorry to hear about your car Ony. (Met him at the AARRCS too!) Glad you're OK...anything salvable?

Regarding Kirk, I thought, but I could be wrong, that his car was showroom stock, which means he won't be there...

Although we'll be on a limited race schedule this year, a return trip to the ARRC will definately be a part of the plan. Didn't do much socializing last trip other than a few hellos. A gathering of some sort sounds like an excellent plan Bill. Let's do it.

I was thinking a gathering at the track would work best. There's something about driving for 2 days to get to a race that will make me not want to drive anymore than I have to when I'm there. Besides, Atlanta traffic, well, you know.

The problem with last year's ARRC was that I never really planned to go. As a result, no $$$ or vacation time for it. This year, everything is carefully mapped and, as long as I don't wreck my car, I'll be there with it. If I do wreck my car, I'll fly in for the race!

Now, to put the dates on the calendar at work to insure nothing can interrupt this...

For an at-the-track gathering spot, I'd suggest something in the "back side" of the infield. For example, something back around the T5 "Spectator Hill" or so, since it's usually just a bunch of RVs back there, where the "front side" of the infield will have more tent campers and stuff. I don't remember if they do "vendor village" for the ARRC (it's on the hill overlooking the front stretch).

Excellent idea! Let's rent a big RV and put it in the infield.

I hadn't thought that far ahead but will put the ARRC on my calendar. My problem is business travel: I just got (informally)informed that I'm expected to be at a conference the day of the VIR 13-hour enduro so I need to get a request for vacation in before that gets formalized. http://Forum.ImprovedTouring.com/it/smile.gif

it can get cold at night, but it also can be warm... A warm sleeping bag should be fine though. During the day it is mighty warm!!! (for us NH people anyway).

A burn barrel is always fun and acceptable even if it is 100+ degrees...

So you mention that you guys/gals have made your vacation requests... Where is the date?

Tent camp?! I think you should stay in the RV, Bill. After all, you will probably be designated Grand Pooba (sp?) of the FAIT.comARRCG by us IT posters. Right gang?

Now all we need is an RV. Time to write some specs. Let's see...

1) Canopy with outside heaters/burn barrel
2) "Awesome sound system"
3) Large fridge
4) Grill
5) Satellite hook up for Speed TV
6) Hot tub
7) Golf cart to shuttle everyone back and forth
8) Designated golf cart driver

Yeah, one of those rock star-style motorhomes.

I have the following dates. Not quite sure where I got them, but I know it was from somewhere on the Internet. Maybe Atlanta region?

November 5th-7th: ARRC at Road Atlanta

As for the motor home, I'd be more than happy if someone let me and the crew stay in something like that. It'll be my first trip to Road Atlanta so things should be exciting enough! Maybe I'll even have to make it down a day early for the test day...

<font face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"2\">As for the motor home, I'd be more than happy if someone let me and the crew stay in something like that...</font>

Tell you what. I did some checking and found one of those RV rental chains with an outlet in eastern Atlanta. The biggest thing they have is a 30 footer that sleeps 7. http://Forum.ImprovedTouring.com/it/wink.gif

(I already said I'd buy the beer, so that's another $1,200. http://Forum.ImprovedTouring.com/it/smile.gif)

The problem is logistics. I'll probably fly up Thursday night/Friday morning and fly back Sunday. The RV can't be returned until Monday, so someone has to pick up and return it, either an Atlanta Region volunteer or yourself.

Either way, I'll cover it. But someone has to fetch it.

Hey, the company will cover my travel. The least I can do is pitch in for the party.


<font face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"2\">That is just soooooo cool of you! I have a feeling that somehow, some way, we will get the logistics handled!!!</font>

Good, because I can't do that part long distance. Either a local handles it or an out-of-towner spends an extra day or so shuffling the hardware around.


<font face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"2\">Will there be a sign on the door to the effect of: \"HANS wearers not welcome here\"????</font>

Now Jake, HANS wearers are always welcome. I could get a banner that reads, "Mobile Central Command." I suppose that if Bill hangs there, he would be the Central Commander.


<font face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"2\">Or, \"Hot tub is for Isaac users only\"?? http://Forum.ImprovedTouring.com/it/wink.gif</font>

I'm not sure the rental package includes a hot tub. (Damn.) And we still need to swing the golf cart.


<font face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"2\">This is shaping up to be pretty cool!</font>

Last year was a major grin. I hope to see the NE crowd there in force.

And a repeat of the ITA race--probably the best of the weekend. If Bill gets mixed up in that group he will have a very exciting trip.

Gregg, I think you left a few items off the list:

A: Hooter's Girls to serve us drivers and crews wings (we all go there for the food anyway)
B: Entertainment: I think ISSAC should hire the Motor City Madman to play for us. (any other Ted Nugent fans here)
C: I think as drivers we deserve and should be supplied (by ISSAC) umbrella girls. Hey, we're as good of drivers as the big boys. most of us are better.
D: an ongoing shuttle system into Atlanta along with complimentary pocket change to spend at a seedy Atlanta gentleman's club. I'd think about $100.00 per driver will do for a start. However Gregg, you need to be available to resupply us should we run short during our stay there.


Looking forward to sseing you guys at the ARRC this year. Am bringing the IT7 up to play this year.

Bill, as someone who visited the track for the first time at the ARRC last year: ABSOLUTELY do whatever you can to make it to the test day.

I had an in-car tape from a friend who was there in 2002, as well as an instructional video borrowed from someone who has done the schools there several times.

It STILL took me most of the practice day to get comfortable enough to push the car...not to mention keeping the gas pedal flat under the bridge and down the hill through 12.

Besides, if you're gonna haul all the way down there for the event, the $$ and one additional vacation day are minor in the overall scheme of things. http://Forum.ImprovedTouring.com/it/biggrin.gif

It's about 1,400 miles from Albuquerque to Atlanta. Road Atlanta is about 60 miles from the airport.

We can always use more flaggers, keep an eye out for details on Atlanta Region's website.

I agree about the test day if you've never driven Road Atlanta before. Turn 12 can take some getting used to. "No, left foot, stay down, stay down, who cares about the home equity loan!" "Oh look, I'm in the grass under the flag station!"
And you brake earlier for t5 and t7 than it appears. If you give up some on t6 you'll get it back and more thru t7 and the back straight.
Same with t5 and the short straight after.

I'm not trying to be an expert, thats just where I have a tendency to screw up.

Hey Bill, how about I pull my car down to your beer city and hook my trailer onto the back of yours. We can then take turns driving the race car trailer train down to the track. I'm small so I can sleep on a tool chest or something.

Free Isaac for the guy who can hold his breath in the hot tub the longest? I think the real challange wouldn't be holding your breath, but staying under water that has been sat in by the people in our crew after a long day of racin'.

Hello Jarrod. How's it going?

Are you taking notes Bill? You and I have both been on Road American at Elkhart Lake, and I have driven Road Atlanta. They are both long courses with elevation changes, but the difference is that Road Atlanta has elevation changes in the corners--big sweepers too.

It can get a bit tricky. My problem was going into the esses. Always tempted to add too much throttle just as the road drops away. Bad combination.

If you have access to PS2 try 24Hours of LeMans. They seem to have Road Atlanta down, and you can run it in anything from a GTS porsche to an LMP Audi or the PanozGTR1.

Bill,

Just do it for, oh, about the 2006 ARRC. My Dad started his own brewing years ago and it took him a while to get it right. It's very good now, but the first batch tasted like Yak urine.

Then again, why not? You do live in Milwaukee, and we always have the extra Coronas we can drink.

There will be extra Coronas, right? Or am I getting the impression that, among certain IT board members, there is no such thing as an "extra" Corona?

Gentlemen,

It's a figure of speech.

Speaking of engineers and beer, I recall my E school graduation party where the keg dispenser gizmo failed in the middle of about 40 thirsty, celebratory, freshly-minted gearheads. It was fixed faster than an F1 pitstop.

Gregg

planet6racing

You know, our Heat and Mass Transfer class final was one question:

You're at a party with a full keg of beer. It is half submerged in ice in a 0.125" thick plastic vessel. Temperature of the ambient air is 75ºF and will increase at a rate of 2ºF per hour. Humidity shall remain constant at 87%. Calculate the temperature of the first beer, the beer at half consumption, and the last beer.

There were more details (obviously), but it used everything we learned in that class!

Oh, and to move this back on topic, the homebrew stuff shows up next week. Hopefully I can master it in the early spring and have a pretty good selection of beers for the ARRC. I may even make some Hard Cider for the little woman...

Jake,

Are you talking about the place after 1 where you aim for the tree?

There were more details (obviously)...


Yeah, like the specific heat of the plastic container and the aluminum keg but, most important, the rate of consumption!

Tom, for a second I was confused by your "aim for a tree" comment, what with all the Yak urine talk around here.....

But I think you're referring too my RA comment. After you come down the front straight, you sweep right up the hill (turn 1), after exiting 1, you aim for the tree to position yourself for the left jog...presumably 2. Then you jump right, (over the berm?) and enter the esses. That right was unnoticed by me the first few laps, and remained my Achilles Heel for the duration. Drove right by it the first time, and never got the timing right consistantly.

The Catholic girls school, hands down.

Well, to resurrect this old thread...

The first batch of homebrew came out this weekend. It was supposed to be a Hefeweizen. And, it actually turned out to be a Hefeweizen!!

Now, to make several more batches before the ARRC...

Oh, and since gas prices seem to be going in only the wrong direction, start saving now for the ARRC! http://Forum.ImprovedTouring.com/it/smile.gif
