I cannot wait! Its going to be exciting!

Forecast is for mid-90s. I'm rushing to install a CoolShirt system.

Have I read it correctly that long cotton pants are required, but not long sleeve shirts? Can't wait for this weekend!!!!

Yes, that's the way I read it.

Hopefully I'll meet some of you down there! I'll be instructing, racing in the fun race on Friday, and co-driving in the enduro. Can't wait!!!

No worries, Jae. They'll allow you to wear yours in the paddock.

gobuffs · 06-04-2013, 05:59 PM

Yes Long pants, t shirts are fine (on track and in the pits). Shorts are OK in the paddock.

bigjae1976 · 06-04-2013, 07:28 PM

Looks like RAIN! Luckily my NT01s will be brand spankin' new!

Don't get me started on being fashionable at the track...it only goes one way. Or both if you're nice to me.

ThunderMoose · 06-04-2013, 08:51 PM

Are ass-less chaps considered long pants?

gobuffs · 06-04-2013, 09:02 PM

Rain forecast depends on where you look. Same day on different sites says anywhere from 10 to 55% chance of rain. I wish I could be a weatherman- be wrong most of the time and still have a job.

Just bring a set of FRCs from the plant as to not get Jae too excited.

FRCs? I invented them...on Fire Race Cars!

(I'm the car in front...)

surlynkid · 06-05-2013, 05:53 PM

Flame Retardent Clothing. Nomex. I have Nomex coveralls from work as does ThunderMoose I imagine. I can quickly jump into them for sessions and out of them for hanging out in paddock. Safer than cotton, but not quite a racesuit.

I do wear FRC's to work each day because, yes, I have a job where I may catch on fire.

bigjae1976 · 06-05-2013, 07:29 PM

2 days and a wake up!

I just got some FRCs but not coveralls. The FR jeans would be brutal in TX.

I will be there this weekend. Anyone have suggestions for best tire pressures - as speeds will be both < & > 100 mph? I'm running OEM PS2s (2 of my PSSs got ruined recently - bummer

)

bigjae1976 · 06-07-2013, 07:49 PM

Checked in and unloaded. I think paddock space is going to be a premium.

I've heard of one crash already...really crossing fingers...

Yikes!

mastek · 06-08-2013, 11:13 AM

Lots of crashes. Including a nice new e92m3 full race car build = $$$,$$$

mastek · 06-08-2013, 11:37 AM

Here's a pic of the fastest BMW @ COTA, belongs to a certain national champion and popular software tuner. e46m3 with an s65.
Faster then any e92m3 in the Continental Challenge this year.
