NRBRNG · 08-31-2011, 09:58 PM

See you there. great track!

Montoya · 08-31-2011, 11:57 PM

Great! Is there still fuel available at the track? I'll probably be driving from Rhododendron, so I'll need some when I get there...

Fen335i · 09-01-2011, 12:28 AM

I will be there too! Looking forward to it.

NRBRNG · 09-01-2011, 10:08 AM

Fuel is there. Clear too= no Ethanol.

Great news on the fuel. May bring some high octane to mix in. So far it looks like four E9X M3's... sweet.

Fen335i · 09-02-2011, 12:26 AM

How much is fuel at the track? Cash only kind of thing? I was thinking of bringing a 5 gallon can of my own just to top off when I get there..but if they sell it there, I guess there is no point. I had heard the nearby towns don't have gas...and the one that does only sells regular unleaded which won't work in our cars.

Fuel was $5.50 a gallon last month. You can pay with a card inside. BTW it is a 45-50 mile round trip to the closest gas station with 92 oct.

Thanks...maybe I will bring a 5 gal can.

Fen335i · 09-02-2011, 09:41 PM

Btw - where is the best place to eat down there? I will be coming from Wash, so maybe someplace north of the Or border? Goldendale?

Montoya · 09-03-2011, 09:26 AM

Pack a lunch! ....JK- I have never been so I have no idea. I am going to bring something for lunch anyways- I think they have something planned for dinner if you are going both days. Lunch, I don't know...

Fen335i · 09-05-2011, 10:35 AM

Thanks... I was actually trying to figure out where to eat Fri night on the way down. I will for sure pack a lunch for Saturday (along with a lot of water!)...

PrimeBMW · 09-07-2011, 10:51 AM

Montoya,
It will be interesting to see your lap times on HLT. I know my first sessions at ORP were a mess.......I was a little lost with all the blind corners. There was a huge improvement by the end of the day. The second day i was able to pick up some additional pointers from the veterans that lead to faster times.

BTW I am emailing the organizer to ask if the lunch cart/truck will be in operation this weekend. They offered some decent food for the HOD day last month.

PrimeBMW · 09-08-2011, 01:16 AM

The food vender will be at ORP all day both Saturday and Sunday.

Fen335i · 09-08-2011, 09:46 PM

Thanks...yep, just saw the organizer emails stating the same. Good news..

Where is everyone staying? I'm headed down Fri night...staying in Wasco

PrimeBMW- Great Day! After your new tires broke in you had some fast laps!

Here my second best lap, best for me was a 2:08.92- as you know Harry's doesn't record every lap, and of course my best was not!

I'm posting another one with Fen335i in a new thread...
