I am solicting all lotus owners who may be interested in participating in a competitve time trial/ race series. I am invisioning a west coast series and a east coast series. The culmanation with a final event to be held somewhere in the midwest Road america possibly. The format would be similar to the ferrari challenge series.Points would be earned at each event to determine the final west coat and east coast grid. I have spoken to Aaron at speedventure.com and he would be interested in hosting the west coast series only after we determine the level of interest. We are organizing dates for 2008 at the best west coast tracks with the idea of bringing in sponsors and teams. If you are interested post on this forum so we can gage the interest. You can also pm. See you at the track!! Jim

Jim - I got an email from the organizer refering us to a website for additional registration information for ALL attendees. The link did not lead to anything. If you have a better link or the actual forms please send them to the attendees. I don't want to get there and find out something required was missed. Thanks.

 

[R'elise Me]

OK - got an email from Ceci at CalClub and they fixed the site. Here's the info page all school attendeees need to read - I would say immediately since there's some leatime needed for the Novice Log Book. Go here:

racing license

LCS participants,
I have recently called many of you to get an idea of how many having a racing license in hand. Although some of you indicated that you would not be doing the wheel to wheel racing i am going to encourage you to get your racing license. it is imperative that your on track progress is coupled with education. I feel very fortunate to be associated with good drivers such as yourselves but we need to all be on the same playing field.
I have recently contacted Craig Stanton and discussed education being incoporated into the series and i look forward to hearing his recommendations so i can pass them along to all of you.
Next weeknd is the scca school which we have about ten people attending . I am glad to see that even though some of the attendees have no intention in wheel to wheel racing they are getting the training to help themselves. If you are interested in attending the cut off is Monday and it requires applying for a novice license , medical exam and scca membership. This will be the only time you will be allowed to take the school without having your car fully raced ready. So let me know . registration is at MotorsportReg.com : MotorsportReg.com > Online registration management tools for driving and social events

Just to clarify for everyone attending the school: Cal Club Forms CalClub - Licensing

1. You will be getting your SCCA Novice log book at the track so you don't need to pay the extra 125$ to get it from SCCA HQ in time (5 day leadtime to get it in the mail)

2. The medical form can be sent into your doctor if you had an exam recently and they can send it back to you. Bring that to the track. If it has any questionable health to report then SCCA Natl will have review it unless you get some sort of special dispensation. That's what I was told.

3. You have to have your SCCA Membership number BEFORE you get to the track so if you don't have it you need to fax in your form with a credit card number to SCCA HQ and get that number.

4. There will be tech inspection on Friday from noon to dark and this is the best time to tech your car. I'm not sure if many of our cars even qualify for SCCA but I think this is required for licensure. If your car isn't race ready then I'm not sure what the deal is with LCS and SCCA that would allow you to obtain licensure. Jim can answer to that I'm sure.

Forecast is for rain that weekend!! Wooohooo! This time I'm actually looking forward to it (but not the massive cleanup effort afterward). See you all there!

I'm thinking about registering for my gf, is that ok?

Tim I would expect you to do the school. Do you have a competition license? The deal i made with the scca is for lcs members who want to get there license. The school is certainly not limited to our members so she certainly can attend as anyone else can. It would be great to have another female in lcs.

Thanks for the tips Glen. I have no idea how I'm going to get ready for the school as I penciled in the following weekend on my calendar. I won't be back until late Tuesday night, and am swamped with work the rest of next week... ugh... Guess I'll be wrenching through the night on Thursday night...

You have a link handy for the medical form on the SCCA website?

I did Skip Barber. Does that count? The problem is that we only have one Lotus.
