holy shit what are you taking with you? I know we had a lengthy discussion about tires before IIC, but I think you might have gone overboard this time.

I traveled to PK with all of my Nats stuff and it really only filled half of my roller bag, kinda nice actually.

well one of the roller bags (small carry-on) will have my clothes, cars and the shelves in it ( and maybe a body or two). Only one roller which isn't that big of a suitcase will have most of the support gear in it.

I am bringing less stuff to this than I did to IIC (no soldering iron, one charger, less parts boxes, etc...). I haven't actually tried packing everything up since IIC so I was figuring worst case scenario as far as how much I am taking.

I have no idea what to expect space wise for our hauler bags and such. Presumably there will be a little room under the table but they're only 3 feet wide, so that doesn't leave much room if people on either side are trying to shove their stuff underneath.

Speaking of pics from PK, this is how good my 13.5 car was:

Love the shoes. Way to blend in to subdued stylings of the North Dakota folk.

BTW congrats on 2nd. That's a really strong showing, especially given the level of talent I see there on the stand.

Looks like I am out for tonight, I have to finish a presentation for review by tomorrow morning for my work travels early next week. I do plan to swing down most of the afternoon tomorrow to get more practice in, and possibly some time on Saturday.

I know Brent... I know...

I'm coming out to the Denver area from Utah for work next Tuesday-Friday. I just started racing carpet here and would love to come out to Denver and possibly practice and race. The website says I need to be with a member to practice, do I need to know someone or can I just show up and practice? Not sure on practice. If I read the Thursday schedule correctly, it's a race night and track opens at 4:30pm with racing starting at 6:30pm.
Is there any place I can find a setup for either a TC6.1? According to the website I can buy tires there or should I buy them elsewhere and if so where? Any help would be appreciated. Dave

Dave, we'd love to have you come on out!

I don't have any personal exp with the TC6.1, but maybe try setups from AE or petit

As far as your other questions: as long as someone is at the track you're more than welcome to come practice. The track is essentially closed if a club key member is not there to have the door open. Knowing that nationals is coming up in a couple weeks, it's a safe bet someone will be at the track almost every night of next week. Nevertheless, this thread is probably the best place to check that someone will be there.

This next Thursday there will certainly be racing. Like you indicated, racing starts at 6:30 and folks are there well before that.

Thanks for the information. Hopefullly there will be people there on Tuesday as I'd like to get some practice in. Where can I buy the tires that are posted on the website? I think it was calling for Solaris Med and Jaco Blue's.

Good practice last night! I'm looking forward to Saturday, it's time to finalize a lot of things for nats.

Also, there's a late-night cookie/milk/ice cream delivery service coming to Denver.

Despite turning into a "pancar guy", I can't help but be excited for the ETS race this weekend. The track just looks awesome and the craziness that ensued at this track last year was incredible to watch.

Hearing Hagberg say that the tailwind on the straight is affecting his turn-in is also ridiculous, I can't even imagine what that is like.
