SCCA Advance PDX/Instructor Clinic - Summit Point - April 18

F.D. Sako · Apr 1, 2015

WDCR SCCA is holding an instructor clinic at Summit Point's Shenandoah circuit on April 18th.
With the clinic, they're going to be running an Advance/solo only PDX with 2+ hours of track time.

I'm probably going to sign up and use this event as a shakedown for Superfest at VIR. Also, I've never ran Shenandoah in the mustang, interested to see how it does on a tight, busy track.

Registration link.

I think I am going to try and go to this, I just need to check and see if I am eligible. After running Main I can say that it is a much more fun track do to the speeds but Shenandoah is so technical and if you screw up 1 corner in a chain the whole chain is slow, it's a great track.

Alright! Hope to see you guys there.

I also hope that they open the skid pad, haven't done that in the mustang yet either. It'd be a great learning experience.

So far, event attendance seems to be low, so we should get plenty of space and track time.

That sounds like a great deal as well!
Too many events, so little time and money!

Hoping for that and some friendly competition.

Friendly competition always gets activated after session 2 8)

I watched Steve's laps from 2012 to get familiarized with the shifting locations and gears.

I also asked if the skid pad was going to open, and their response was most likely!
I'm really looking forward to the skid pad, as well. My recovery from an oversteer correction needs work.

That is a good idea, I'll have to check that video out. I haven't run Shenandoah in about 2 years I think.

Looking like it is supposed to rain the whole day, not sure how much I am down with that.

F.D. Sako · Apr 13, 2015

Ya

I may have to mount my stock Pirellis, since the RS3's aren't doing too good in wet conditions anymore. Here's to hoping the weather clears up for the day.

Brandon302 · Apr 14, 2015

Looking to be a little more promising. Rain later in the day and possibly 40% rather than 70% chance at that.

F.D. Sako · Apr 14, 2015

Haha, I was about to post the same update.
Looking better everyday!

Brandon302 · Apr 14, 2015

It better rain it's little heart out for the next few days. I don't want to be a Nancy but I want to have the max amount of fun.

Brandon302 · Apr 15, 2015

Looking like 76 with no chance of rain now, maybe I'll pick up a goat tomorrow to ensure there is no rain.

F.D. Sako · Apr 16, 2015

Well, the clouds have moved out of the way and we'll hopefully have a full day of sunshine.

Saturday can't come soon enough.

Brandon, here's the session I followed you. I should have another vid of few of my laps later.

The video may still be processing, so it may be low quality

Looking good guys.

Just curious if you always move your hands like that? Mine are glued to the 9 and 3 positions. You should investigate buying an Auto-BLiP. I'm never going racing and the AB allows me to concentrate on braking and not worry about the down shifts. Most of us that have them love them.
