Sunday's DE event

Postby Dan Chambers on Tue May 09, 2006 8:26 am

The word in the wind is: there's lots of room for more drivers at Sunday's DE. 8)

I know there are a few cars that didn't lose a nut :? , blow a gasket :cry: , flat-spot tires in timed-run spins :shock: , blow out their struts/shocks :roll: , or otherwise come apart at SOW. So, sign up for the West Lot DE, and get your driving fix! :rockon: Based on my information, there should be more track time than you can shake a cone at, and still make it home for Mother's Day Dinner with the family! :D

We have to keep those A-X Chairs busy, so come on down!! It should be a great day. Hope to see you there.

Dan -

The old 911 is in the shop, but I have a new BMW M3, would I be allowed to run this for the weekend?

I'll been in Phoenix watching other people drive their cars! So no AX, DE or Mother's Day.

Tim: Check with the A-X Chairs reagarding non-Porsche X cars (AX@pcasdr.org). They have to make that call. It's not up to me.

Better do it quick: written permission has to be in your hands before you can register .... and you're a little late for that, too. :roll:

And, of course, you'll have to pass Tech Inspection (including mounted fire extinguisher at a minimum for the DE) to participate. Hustle-up, Tim!

newbie q's

I read the DE web page, but I still have a couple of questions:
    1. Is the schedule for DE the same as AX (e.g. 630am tech opens)?
    2. Is pre-tech allowed and/or encouraged for QDE?

Kris-
Yes, tech will open at 6:30am the same as with autox events. You may certainly have your car pre-teched, as you may with an autox, but you must still bring your car to the tech line to be inspected and signed off/stickered and to pick up your pre-reg packet (if you did that.) So really the only reason to pre-tech is to have your car looked over by someone who knows all the requirements to make sure it will pass. It won't save you any time in the morning.
