straights, and the sweeper section. In the afternoon Group B will
have open
passing
including all turns except the cyclone. "Open passing" doesn't
include
racing others into turns. Overtaking drivers will need to be sure
the
slower driver is aware of them, and drivers being overtaken
will need
to
watch their mirrors and leave room for the faster car to get thru.
We
will
talk more about the passing rules at the drivers meeting.
Open cars must have a roll bar, and no open wheel cars are allowed.
Passengers
will be allowed in both groups. Some experienced drivers will be
available to provide informal instruction. For questions call John
Zender (650) 368-9105 or email
trackday@fusiontechnology.com
Fill out the enclosed entry form and send it in ASAP with your check
payable
to the GGLC. |

OK the track day is on for Friday April 13. In a special deal
with
Thunderhill
we've limited the attendance to 40 cars maximum. We've also
opened
up the event to other makes, and at this writing we're already about
1/2
sold out. If ya wanna go you need to get the registration form and
a
check
in now. Cost is $175 per car.
This year we are going to run a "self tech" inspection where you, the
driver,
are soley responsible for the safety of your car. Please bring a
completed
tech inspection form to the event. Make sure you closely inspect
all
items on the list. If you experience a mechanical problem on the
track |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that
should have been avoided by the tech inspection, you will be done for
the
day. Tech inspection and registration forms are available online
at
www.gglotus.org
Drivers will be divided into two groups based on their experience and
type
of car. Because of the limited number of cars, we'll be relaxing the
passing
rules compared to previous events. In the morning sessions the less
experienced group (Group A) will have passing limited to the 3 main
straights.
In the afternoon, passing for group A will also include the left
hand
sweeper section from the exit of 6 and to the entry of 9. For the
more
experienced
group (Group B) the morning passing areas will include the |

Mother's
Day Dave Bean Run
May
12 is the annual run to dave bean engineering in the gold country.
This is a run you just do not want miss. Think of it, the 13th
is Mother's Day. You can buy your mother or your wife something
that she really needs … maybe a Weber head that is converted from your
current Stromberg head or maybe that alternator conversion to replace you
current out-of-date generator.
It
will be a little different this year. Instead of stopping at just
Bean's you |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| will
make additional stops at the Railtons and the Nesters for food and pit
stops. This is an event that you should plan for. Think of
it, an opportunity to shop at Dave Bean engineering (the place where you
can always find the Lotus parts that you need) and to drive some of the
best Lotus roads found in California.

Don Nester 209.588.0782/dnester@bigvalley.net or Tom Railton 209.532.9344. |
