I'm all but officially out, sorry guys. Stupid downpipe leak + fuel leak + the whole "me not fitting in the car with a helmet thing" will keep me from this event.

I will bring out one or both of the RX8's and those with cars "in progress" or broken can maybe take a few laps or something.

Also Dave if you need help let me know, can likely help you get out on track.

My buddy Dimitri is 6'2 and 200-something and he fits in his FD with a helet with no issue, so not sure why you guys are having so much trouble :-p

I knew it! lol

I'm actually looking at a Bride Gais seat on RCC right now, guy is selling it for $300. Although I'm not sure if it's authentic or a Taiwan replica.

Well I'm 6'6" so that's part of it, Eric is 6'4", so we are taller. I thought Eric would have a better shot of fitting but I guess not. Even at 6'2" I bet he isn't comfortable.

Bride seats = made for small Asians haha. Plus that's stupid cheap, I bet it's a replica. Not to mention I don't think you will fit very well in it.

I carry Sparco seats and some others. I am not a fan of Bride seats much at all myself.
We managed to fit Jason Saini, who is I think 6'4/275 in the RX8 but it was a slightly tight fit. The seat mount I made gets the seat very low, might work for you guys?
Anyway, at this point I am planning on bringing out the pair of cars if you guys want to take a couple laps in them.

My dad has the day off and I'm trying to convince him to have a nice ride on his Harley up to the track so I can give him a ride.

So who all is still coming?

The paddock runs east-west. Maybe we could try meeting in the NW corner of the paddock?

I can bring the enclosed trailer, setup a canopy and bring the grill if there is enough interest...

I've been running some laps in rFactor to get some practice.

And a trailer and/or canopy would be great. I need a place to put my gas cans and all the junk from inside my car hehe.

He said it was made in Canada by an authorized dealer or something like that, but now he's not selling it anymore anyway. Oh well.


I just remembered this is on a Friday anyway, and I'm stupid busy at work, so that wouldn't happen anyway.

FYI, if you are doing the afternoon session like myself, mandatory show time is 12:40pm. I plan to be at the track by 11am.
