Atlanta ProSolo part 2

[B] WOAH!!! Robert Carpenter got a Celica?!?! cricky!! [/B][/QUOTE]

He may also be co-driving with Rick Cone. It would be interesting if he bought one though... I would think the CRX would be at even more of a disadvantage at a Pro in GS. Bob goes fast in anything he gets into, so it should be interesting...
AUTOwrXER 01-06-2004 04:29 PM

I'll ask about the rulebooks when I speak to Tasha and Paula next. We don't have any in Atlanta yet, and I'm not sure when we'll get them. I would think the national office would be selling them at the Pro, as we will need all we can get for our local events.

I just nailed down the hotel rates for a couple locations near the site. Pretty happy with how the negotiations turned out. I guess being a salesman comes in handy every once in a while :lol: I'll get the hotel info up on the scca website soon.

Cheers,
Joel

Heh. Cool to hear Joel.

[B] KC, can you give me more info on this:

The ProSolo NationalSeries provides national-level competition in a series structure using the all the regular national Solo II classes. While entrants must be SCCA members, a ProSolo license is not required until their second ProSolo event of the season, when they officially become part of the ProSolo NationalSeries Championship series.

How do we go about getting a license? I will be doing at least 3 ProSolo's this year... [/B][/QUOTE]

1st one is free as a novice... to get you hooked. :) The rest you need to fill out this form and fax/mail it in:

Anyone know if the A3S04 Hoosiers are legal as of yet? Or will be by this event?
trhoppe 01-06-2004 05:51 PM

Are and will be :)

AUTOwrXER 01-06-2004 06:00 PM

I just spoke to Tasha, and the national staff will have rulebooks for sale at the event. I'm on hold right now ordering some for Atlanta region...

I'll be sending all the hotel and site info to Tasha this week. Do a little dance for heat along with your regular rain dance. We're going to need it.

dwx 01-06-2004 06:19 PM

If it's above 40 that'll be balmy for me. Will be doing the no-rain dance though. :) I hate driving in the rain.

I was debating getting 245/45/16 Hoosiers versus 255/50/16 ones. 255/55/16 is very tall, I'd have to get out the sawzall to make that fit. I hate shifting though. :)

Damn Philsie... got that car put together yet? Sounds like you are in limbo...
dwx 01-06-2004 08:42 PM

Haha nah I'm just trying to decide on tires to use. I wish I two sets of wheels I could put either set on to change the gearing of the car to suit the course. :)
thechickencow 01-06-2004 11:24 PM

Phil, you can borrow my RS wheels if it helps. We can even bring them down in case it rains, the s03's have a little life left.

I'll talk with you in the next few days about plans, I'm still up north and will be back home soon. The rally car is in my garage currently though!

Glad you brought this up...we aren't going to need to have a 2004 rulebook this early in the season are we? I hope my 2003 rulebook will suffice for Atlanta (though I'll obviously need the new one for Petersburg).

On a related note, when do the new rulebooks come out?

EDIT: Didn't read page 3 before posting this... :rolleyes:

trhoppe 01-07-2004 09:08 AM

You can usually buy the rulebooks at the back of the tech truck as well.

As far as rain tires, I wouldn't worry about them. I don't think there has ever been a Pro where it rained for all the runs.

I switched over to EM. Transmission's been acting up, can't afford to chance it.

The other guy's transmission is blowed up. Don't know if he's going to have it back together before the event.

So once again, as always, the Louisville Crew is Me. The Mayor needs to give me a medal or something for faithfully representing the city while all these other toothless inbreeds back out.

Midnight_Gold 01-14-2004 04:32 PM

While I won't be around at the event, I will probably be flying into Atlanta to see my family.. hopefully that will also mean seeing some of you guys while you're there.. so if there are any dinners planned, let me know.. I'd love to crash the party.

As it stands now, who all is running their STi in AS? I was really hoping to see how the car turned out in that class, but since my codriver bailed, I'm at a loss for who's gonna be driving out there? Crazyhorse wasn't sure if Bodine would be running the Solos last time I talked to him.. so who [i]is[/i] running AS (aside from those posted here)?

The other car I know in that list is the Neon from Aaron/Frank Miller. It uses a 2.4L built N/A motor and has 4 individual throttle bodies with little K&N filters that stick out of the hood. The throttle response of that car is amazing, it has a Qaife LSD and 245 Hoosiers up front and still spun the tires (at Peru). Not to mention it weighs 2400 lbs. Very tempermental car though, and the father isn't a real fast driver at all, he just goes along to work on the car for the most part I think.

I'm going after all. There are a lot of schedule conflicts later in the year (mainly between ProSolos and Divisionals), so I decided to take the opportunity. Car setup will be the same as last year. I'm planning on a revised suspension setup, but I'm waiting for some parts that won't arrive in time.

I'll have a Honda guy as codriver, we'll see how he does in a real car! :p

I'm looking forward to seeing everybody. :banana:

Heavy compared to Geoff Zimmer's rabbit....last I heard it weighed in at about 1800lbs and put down about 130ish to the wheels. Of course I don't think you can do any more to that car in FSP. :)

Have you fellas seen the hotel info anywhere? I sent it to Tasha two weeks ago, but I don't see it posted. I negotiated some kick-ass rates at the Hilton Garden Inn and the Fairfield. I'll post the details here because I don't see them on the SCCA site...

Event Hotel � Hilton Garden Inn Atlanta/Sugarloaf
� Approximately 10 minutes from the site, immediately off the highway
� Wireless, high-speed internet in each room (complimentary)
� Land line data access also available
� Breakfast available at an additional charge; Chick-Fil-A attached to hotel, Roadhouse Grill next door
� Fridge, microwave, and coffee-maker in each room
� Indoor swimming pool and hot-tub
� $69/night with group rate (ask for �SCCA� or �Sports Car Club of America�)

Alternate Hotel � Hampton Inn/Sugarloaf
� Approximately 5 minutes from the site
� Renovated winter �04
� Wireless, high-speed internet in each room
� Land line data access also available
� Complimentary breakfast
� Some microwave and fridge rooms available
� $59/night with group rate (ask for �SCCA� or �Sports Car Club of America�)

AUTOwrXER 01-22-2004 01:17 PM

Oh yeah, I guess it was the Hampton, not the Fairfield. Same difference. I usually can't distinguish between the two when I'm travelling. The new Hilton Garden is nice though...
ascott 01-22-2004 01:57 PM

I just got off the phone with the Hampton/Sugarloaf, and they have no idea who or what SCCA is. There is no group rate at that hotel for that weekend for us.

The AAA rate there is $79 a night.
ascott 01-22-2004 02:01 PM

And the Hilton Garden has no double-double rooms left, just single Kings.
