Saturday, May 13, 2017.
The Novices will be on the NE lot and separate from the main lot for the morning at the least.
Practice course will be in the usual location. You should get plenty of runs!
Note that members of the BMW Club will be guests of ours today as well so we are organizing a special school (separate from the novice school) for them. Some have track experience etc. However we can use some help via instructors - let me know if you wish to help.

I think George is more interested in what others are running on the WRX ... what size will fit without rubbing. I think I would look at 225's ... wider for more lateral clearancegrip.
Usually stock size to the next wider one will fit without rubbing .... since there is usually plenty of clearance. Could measure the clearance with the present tires to the strut/springs and inside of fenders, front anti-sway bar (when the wheel is turned) etc. and then compare the tire sizes ... e.g. how much wider, and diameter (use Tire Rack.com ) and calculate whether the 225 (or whatever) will rub. Sometimes you might get rubbing at the extreme ends but you are seldom there with the steering cranked all the way ... even in autox. Or you can hold back a bit ... hear the rub, turn the steering wheel back a little bit. Just what I have done in the past. But usually you want to stuff the widest tire you can get on there ... to a certain point.

Check out the cost of the 275/35ZR18 vs. the 275/40ZR18
Wow! 275-35-18's .... only $5 difference on a set of 4 .... essentially same price. Hmmmm..... R

We have had one drop in Extreme and now have 4 potential spots open - 2 days of analysis, concentrating on the small things .... all those little things that are the difference between the top and the middle of the pack. Also we will have some presentations on the mental game by Jonn Renay (a coach by training). He has some interesting and fresh ways of working your mind over and dealing with the stress of showing up at National Championships and yet competing at the very highest level ... perhaps even using the pressure as a motivator and actually driving even beyond your ability .... stepping up to the challenge ... coming up with the very best performance of your life when it counts. I have observed that done in many sports over the years, not just motorsports (somebody should talk to the Flames! ). People show up at the Olympics and all of a sudden they come up with a gold medal performance seemingly out of nowhere! How does that happen? We want to explore that a bit. Anyway, spots are open for you! Send me a PM or email or call me.

This is a very interesting interview and summary of the Russian GP with David Brabham and Perry McCarathy (the original stig) who are both former F1 drivers. What I found interesting was their discussion of the mental game and how that changes over the years etc. It is a huge issue and can easily be the difference between winning (or a good result) and a so-so result. At the SoloPro Schools I will be bringing Jonn Renay out again to discuss the mental game ... how to be in winning form, mentally. Over the past winter we have continued to meet and discuss this aspect of racing/competition and how it is a key to winning. L2 and Extreme will get some information from Jonn ... maybe even a separate lecture in the evening. We are discussing how we are going to do this. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3MOU8uXdjo&feature=em-uploademailReijo

Just looking at Tire Rack: 225-50-16 for my S2000: N Fera SUR 4G's
- see attached file ...
Same size RE71's are about $24/tire more ... hmmm....not much difference for that size.
I thought they would be substantially cheaper based on info I saw from California ... But still about $100 less for a set then.

Makes me feel proud of my software and the fact that it can score that format.
I wonder if we should plan on a weekend with that format?
In a sense we already do this .... different course morning and afternoon, Saturday and Sunday ... just that we have not added up the times. Reijo

Yes Reijo I thought about that after I posted. At the schools you,Tim and Jeff have all told me you are not supposed to hit cones. I think I have a condition,
hopefully it can be cured but in the mean time I AM the CONE KING. All cleaned up now, ready for 3 days in Nisku.P
hahaha...... Well, maybe we should balance this out a bit .... Take a look at the no. of cones hits and who is near the top of the list .... quite a few good drivers. In my opinion you are certain to hit some cones if you are trying to be as close as possible to key cones. If you don't hit any cones, then I would say you are not trying hard enough! R

I should add that it is easier if you driver slower. (fat chance of that, eh? hahahaha)

Paul, what you can do for the rear wheel wells is put on some painter's tape to protect the finish .... or stop hitting cones? hahahaha

Reijo, FYI I think the link is broken.
Thanks Tom! CalClub has revised/updated their web site so the information was moved to a different location. The link above is now updated and valid once again. R
