Dear Friends,

because of mulitple mailing lists, you may receive this twice or
even three times.  Please forgive me.   



NOTICE:  FIRST ANNUAL BMW/PORSCHE/VIPER
                    PAHRUMP OPEN TRACK EVENT

The true track junkies haven't had enough!   With winter
fast approaching, we need to lay down what's left of our R
rubber before we put on our snow tires, and here is our chance.

Nina Cooper of the Las Vegas Viper Club has rented the Pahrump
track on December 5th.  Wanting to make the long haul worth it,
I arranged to get the track as well on Friday, December 4th.  

Saturday will be an Open Track Event, with instruction for those who want
it.  Run groups will be set up, grouping the fastest/faster/students, at
least for a start.  As the numbers of cars will be relatively small (less 
than 50 is assured), it is likely that the afternoon will not be grouped,
but will truly be "open track."  Meaning, run until you have no more
tires, brakes, or brains. 

Friday, where the numbers will be even smaller, will be open track all day.
Again, for those who want instruction, it will be available.
                              
                                       DISCLAIMER
This is NOT A RACE, but it is  NOT A SCHOOL, either.  It is not sponsored or 
certified by any club, group or marque.  You will have to check with your own 
insurance company to see if your car is insured during this event. You will be
required to sign a full waiver, and will be required to accept full resonsibility for
yourself and for your car.   

SAFETY will, as always, be the prime issue (with FUN being a close second).
Passing zones will be defined,  with point-by's appreciated but not required,
except in the instruction group.  

Registration on Saturday is at 8am, with tech inspection at the same time.SA 90 
helmets required, as are closed toe shoes and long sleeves and pants. Roll 
bars/cages not required for either day.  Write to me if you intend to run an open 
car.  No open *wheel* cars, of course.

As soon as we have an indication of numbers, we will make hotel/casino
arrangements.  

Tires and brakes go fast at this very technical track, so come prepared.  Pahrump
has several good mechanics, and tire mounting shops.

COST:  You won't believe this;  $100 per day, *or less* (depending on numbers)!
You can pay for Saturday on that morning, but if you want to be assured of a spot
on Friday (we are going to keep the numbers very low <vbg>), you will have to
pre pay.  Contact me by email,  and then we will go from there.

Pahrump is located on Route 160, approximately 60 miles North of Las Vegas.

For additional info, call Nina Cooper at (702)367-3776, or email
her at   Cophud@domain.elided

Or, email me with questions, but please try to keep them generic, as
I have a real day job.  Hope you can join us!
