FRIDAY TEST & TUNE: Please call the track for the Friday reservations & info. 661-256-2471 You must have a roll bar/roll cage, fire suppressions system & fire extinguisher

Is the roll bar requirement for all cars? Is this a new ViperDays rule? Or is that just for test and tune day?

 

[FrankBarba]

Sounds like only the Test & Tune on Friday. According to the above post, Unless your driving a new SRT. But you better clear it with Skip, or Tracy. Drop them a line i am sure that someone will get back to you. Which part Viper Days are you doing? Look to their web site for a complete list of rules & regulations.

 

[Sonny 00 GTS ACR]

Vic,

The Friday test and tune is run by the track instead of Viperdays. You should call them for details (661-256-2471)

As far as the rest of the weekend goes, Frank is right, check the 2004 rules and regulations on the website, but I believe the requirements are essentially the same as last year.

 

[Vic]

Thanks, Frank, thanks Sonny.

I thought that requirement was kinda odd, cause we run out there at WS with various clubs, and a roll bar has not been a requirement as of yet. But it goes without saying that its a great idea, and I am looking for one.

So does this mean we are going to see ya at my favorite track?

Joe (will be there) B

 

[Vic]

Hey, Joe. Yep, I'll be there after Eric Messley gets my Penskes put on, with some neg camber to boot. Maybe I'll try some Brakeman 3s to hold me over 'till I can embezzle the money for the Stop Techs.
I was out there a few days ago, in stock trim, ('cept for the Corsas and smoothies), and turned consistent 1:38s, and a few 1:37s, (w/my friend in the car). I wasn't pushing all that hard, and it didn't feel fast to me, not like it did before. Its getting easier. Just wish I had more time to practice.

And you have turned into a contender! Kudos to you, I knew you could do it!
