Pahrump ?

Postby kary on Sat Aug 28, 2004 12:50 pm

Since Ruppert (sp?) sold the track I was wondering if there will be some other facilities there such as:

1. Gasoline?
2. Tire changing service?

I can handle the gas but I might need a couple of tires swapped on Saturday night or Sunday morning.

Thanks for the info.

I'll check now and get back to everyone. I seriously doubt they have fuel, since I'm currently encouraging them just to get the transponder loop in. Tire service, maybe.

If they do not have fuel, anyone interested in buying a drum of 110 racing fuel and sharing it?

Those needing 110 should make some plan to bring their own fuel as the Rebel station only has 100 unleaded.

I hope they have unleaded 87 octane somewhere around there. My 944-spec race car has to have 87 octane or higher. Now that's some serious race gas! :P :P
And the price, my god, the price.........$2.00 per gallon.............
It's killing me. :P

I'm interested in participating in the 2 day event at Spring Mountain. Are non-Porsche drivers allowed?

email Jack Miller directly at jmiller@pacificcollege.edu We have traditionally had a couple non-porsches at every away event for the past couple of years. Barring anything too odd (seems as if your own driving experience would be of greater concern) the Time Trials have been pretty open to all vehicles. Jack makes the call though.

X cars welcome. Need 5 pts and fire extinguisher. Appropriate roll protection for convertibles.

Driver needs to have sufficient experience and not be a kook (that's the technical term, right?)

This just in!

Tom Ridge, Director of Homeland Security, reports an emoticon condition Orange.
"We are seeing a severe shortage of emoticons, possibly just due to overuse in the PCA SDR forum, but it could be due to terrorist actions and anything is a good excuse to wave the threat flag!"
"We ask all real Americans to ration your use of emoticons - America's enemies would like nothing more than to see us run out of emoticons in this time of crisis."

Still waiting to hear. I wouldn't count on it.

Camping is ok. They are charging us $100 per night. I'll arrange for Fri/Sat. I may pass the hat if we're tight on the budget or pick up the tab if a few more people sign up. We should be ok. There is no electricity or water hookup for RVs, trailers, etc.
