I dropped into Laguna Seca a few days ago while I was heading back to Canada after a vacation in AZ. We watched the Audi bunch having so much fun that I have convinced my wife to support me in a long haul back down there this season with my SCCA-legal GT1 car. Its just production-based and nowhere near as fast as purpose-built tube-frame 'real' GT1 cars, but I want to try that track before I get much older/fatter/slower. I have joined SCCA-SF Region in preparation, and see three SCCA events listed, one in early May, another in late June and another in early Oct. I could REALLY use some advice as I prep the car and plan the long trip down from British Columbia. Is there anyone on here that intends to compete in one or more of these weekends? This old 'newbie' could use all the local information he can get! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Well, I'm starting to pack the trailer for the long haul (1050 miles) South. The confirmation email came today from SCCA, so it makes me feel better to know I'm entered and the number that I put on the car (71) is the one I will be using for both classes. I do wonder about some things though. Can anyone tell me what the policy is on in-car radio frequencies? I printed out the track and nearby city freqs so I won't walk on any local stations. Who will care whether I use my radios or not? Do I have to register my frequencies with SCCA or the track? Another issue is arrival, I hope to be there as the paddock opens at 5:30 Thursday PM, but do I expect to join a really long line up that steep hill? I do have 4WD low range, but it won't be much fun crawling up there in a long line-up. Can I drive to the trailer in the morning with my tow vehicle and park there, or do they make you park outside and walk to your pit? Just newbie questions...
