Again thanks to NCK, What a great track Laguna Seca is! And also what great weather!! 74 degrees in January! Tack is awesome

I didn’t read all of these posts. I just glanced over Mylaps for the Cal State Champs. I am not much into sprint racing any more, but that seems to be a lot of different classes right there! Must have took forever to run them all?

[Ray Chiappe]

The track rental fee must be the highest of all tracks NCK goes to. And Sound limits are a pain, but next to Sonoma, Laguna is a very close 2nd for the fun factor. JMO

It was about 45 degrees in my garage the other day when I had to open a new bottle. Had a race on Sunday and needed to mix up a couple of gal. I was using a screw driver to pull out the cap and it wouldn’t pop out, the cap came off without turning it!! About hit myself in the chin! I guess I need to use a heat gun!

Is the exhaust pipe changed? Sure would like to see it lighter!?

 

[Ray Chiappe]

Thank you NCK! Sonoma is the best!

Best Track most fun track I have ever been on!

I’m on the heavy side. Last time I ran the shifter at Sonoma I ran a 18/22. Prob would try a 17/21 next time. Both Laguna and Sonoma have good air. Not sure what to suggest because of that pump around. But I have run 55/175 at both tracks. With a 178 main in practice.

[Ray Chiappe]

I used to run the pump around. Could not get it to work well. What I run might not work for your setup. You have to consider an Air Box in the equation, which is mandatory at Laguna. What jet were you using when you stuck it?

[Ray Chiappe]

Larry you forgot “What they sound like”?

[Ray Chiappe]

I want to run there once before I retire!! Shooting for next year!!

 

[Ray Chiappe]

So would I be safe to assume there will not be a IKF Road Race National in 2015??

[Ray Chiappe]

Greg is that a wish or fact?

I heard after the last Natl’s in Texas that IKF decided on to do it every other year.

Rod, we raced on the big track 4 times this year with Karts. Once in Mar. with a vintage Sports Car club. We had our own track time of course. And 3 times with Norther Cal Karters witch was also shared with a Car Club. Had plenty of track time. NCK is a Road Race Club. We are running at Sonoma’s big track Thanks Giving Sat.

[Ray Chiappe]

I made the trek from Vegas and it was worth it! That new asphalt is sure smooth! Thanks again to NCK

[Ray Chiappe]

OK Larry, I just checked. It’s calling for High on Sat of 85 and a low of 58. Sorry to have to do your job!!

 

[Ray Chiappe]

Hey Dobbs, why aren’t you telling how great the weather is going to be??? BTW I entered all you can race!!

[Ray Chiappe]

Jim, I’m looking for the “Like” button right now.

[Ray Chiappe]

Jees he was runnin 137’s

 

[Ray Chiappe]

Nick, go on the NCK site. Email or phone Mark Morrison.

You will need an Air Box, at least a 14″ silencer as there is a 92db limit. Tires I believe are open. Group 1 (Shifters run 3 times, twice on Saturday and once on Sunday) You have to run the same set of tires. Mark sent out a revised email today.

 

[Ray Chiappe]

Larry, will we be able  to get in the pits on Friday night??

 

[Ray Chiappe]

Well I had a lot of fun. Even though I was wrenching all day in the heat! I ran in Tag heavy and there was on guy in the field with one of those 600 tag motors. Now I wouldn’t mind driving one! He passed me and I was thinking what the hell was that?? Thanks to NCK again. BTW first time on Button with the repave fixes, Cotton was very nice!

[Ray Chiappe]

Kerry, R/U going??

[Ray Chiappe]

How long is it?? Looks like it will be a lot of fun!

[Ray Chiappe]

Thanks to Mark and crew with NCK for the event at Willow Springs, plenty of track time at a lesser cost! NCK is doing a great job of keeping road racing going on the far left coast!
