Zappo Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 so is anybody coming from tha bay area?You would think that, but a lot of "locals" never show up. Locals on VS that is. VCOA locals always show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenchunks Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 You would think that, but a lot of "locals" never show up. Locals on VS that is. VCOA locals always show up.Are there any locals left in the bay area? I know I've essentially dropped out over the last year or two now that I work full time and live in SF. And it doesn't seem like there has been much going on. Although I did see a S70 T5 in Russian hill with a NorCal Volvo's decal on it, and I saw a modified yellow T5R last weekend by Golden gate Park. I might make it out to Davis for the show part, although after parking on the streets of San Francisco over the last 1.5 years, my car is so beat up and scratched it's not even worth looking at anymore. Is there any more information on the dyno day? I might be interested, I've never dyno'd my car before, interesting to see what a stock T5m with a Rica chip does.

As for the dyno, last I heard it was $40 and started right after the show. It isn't far from the park, if that is where I think it is. Last time I was there he didn't have a dyno.

b3atboxjr Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'm from the bay, but I won't be going this year, my car just has some things wrong with it and I don't have the time to fix them before the meet. I'm rather disappointed, cuz I love the Davis show. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I am making a list of things I need to get down before heading down. I am up to 13 right now. I need to make a list of stuff to take so I don't forget.Finally crossed something off the list. The new and impoved EBC is now working. Haven't had a chance to test it out yet other than driving to work, but it seems to be working.Lots of work going on this weekend as well as the autocross.

Zappo Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 great, so ive never been to Thunderhill, but imma try n make it out this year. How many passes at the track might you get through tha day. and do you need any equipment i.e. Helmet, safety harness, etc...The usual format is 4 20-minute sessions. That could go up to 6 and usually does.If you have a helmet, bring it. Needs to have a snell rating of 95 or better. If you don't have a helmet, I believe you can rent one there, but I can't confirm that.You aren't racing, so no harness is needed. Safer if you have it of course, but not needed.This link will have more information.http://www.goldengatevcoa.org/events/thunder_09.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazykn Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Although I did see a S70 T5 in Russian hill with a NorCal Volvo's decal on it, and I saw a modified yellow T5R last weekend by Golden gate Park...That S70 w/ the Norcal sticker is mine! Too bad I couldn't make it out today. I've been working full time too and i still need to find some time to fix my S70 up, since its been experiencing some odd problems.
