Hey guys,
This is just another reminder of the upcoming Nurburgring trip on Saturday, 28th of June. I did propose an earlier trip on Sunday June 22 within my email group but it looks like the 28th will work for most people. Plus it will give people more time to finish any maintenance work on their cars before the meet. I would highly recommend oil and transmission fluid changes, tire changes, brake pad and fluid inspections, and oil leak checks. The ‘Ring marshals will fine and impound any car that spills any fluid on the track so please make sure that your car is in tip top shape. If not, you can still go and ask people for a passenger lap and split the cost of each lap run. I would highly recommend this web site for any questions about the ‘Ring including safety and driving tips:
Ben Lovejoy's Nurburgring Nordschleife website
Remember, this is not a race, more of a get-together and introduce newbies to the track and have more experienced track guys show the lines. Please leave rank, egos, and trash talking of other people’s cars at home.
We will meet at the ATU in Kaiserslautern at 0800 and leave by 0830. Please bring your euros, GPS, and gas coupons. We will most likely stop at an Esso station closest to the track to fill up and then head out. There is a small bar/café that we all can eat for a small break. So here is the breakdown in schedule:
0800 Meet at K-town ATU
0830 Leave ATU
1030 Gas up at local Esso
1100 Ring laps
1400 Lunch
1500 More ring laps
1700 Leave
1900 Arrive Ktown
Please let me know if you have any questions and forward this notice to those who might be interested. Sorry Pat, this will be on Saturday. Thanks!
