NO THURSDAY TECH INSPECTION IN ELY.
All, Everyone should take a good look at the Schedule. You will notice that there is NO TECH INSPECTION in Ely on Thursday which is the day before the Shootout. Be very concerned with your setups if this does not change. There have been very few if any rule changes so best to be prepared and get in Tech line early on Friday morning (schedule says line opens at 8 am) If I remember correctly, Steve Mott is the only and last person to sign off on your car, so doing a car every 10 to 15 minutes...

Re: NO THURSDAY TECH INSPECTION IN ELY.
I read in the 2018 rules that there will be tech in Ely on Thursday (p.11). Did I misread this?

Re: NO THURSDAY TECH INSPECTION IN ELY.
Every thing is in Ely for the May event except Rookie School. It is at Speef Vegas. Look again at the rules. It says Thursday Tech in Las Vegas host hotel. Works for Sept Race but not May Race. They are still trying to get everything coordinated and it is a slow process.

Re: NO THURSDAY TECH INSPECTION IN ELY.
Lanny and Bill, Very interesting and valid points about the new schedule's lack of a Tech Inspection on Thursday. I'm going to pass along all comments and concerns shared about this topic to the SSCC Board. Thanks for your input! Berry

Re: NO THURSDAY TECH INSPECTION IN ELY.
Berry - Just for clarity - this is what I read in the 2018 Rule Book. Section III - Inspection, Paragraph 2 Thursday Inspection at the Las Vegas Host Hotel/Casino & Ely : "Technical Inspection will be open during certain designated hours on Thursday in the designated SSCC car display area of the hotel parking lot. In the case of a 2-way event, Technical Inspection will be open during certain designated hours at the White Pine County Park on Aultman St located across from the White Pine...

Bill, Interesting. Even I hadn't caught this update to the 2018 SSCC Rule Book. I have forwarded your message, along with others concerns to the SSCC Board today via email. I'll update with their reply once they have a chance to review and respond. We're looking forward to seeing you and John on the grid again in that wicked ZR1 at the new #NORC 2-Way in May! Berry

Re: NO THURSDAY TECH INSPECTION IN ELY.
Official Response on the Topic of No Tech Inspection on Thursday After publishing our 2018 NORC Schedule of Events, some of you voiced concerns about the decision to not hold a Technical Inspection session on Thursday. Unfortunately, Sam’s Town in Las Vegas is not available as a host venue for our usual events, nor staff housing, during the 2018 NORC weekend. As such, the first NORC Technical Inspection session will be held in Ely on Friday at 8 AM Pacific Time. There will be no tech...

Re: The Great Computer Give-Away!
Tom, That is outstanding of you to offer up a full Silkrip ORR setup for such a worthy cause! You rock man... And since you rightly mentioned that some may not like having HAL run the race for them, I'm prepared to help the cause too. A while back, Robic discontinued the model SC505 stopwatch with 1/1000th of second readout and went to 1/100th second readout. Me being the stopwatch kinda guy I am, I picked up a couple extras from the factory on closeout. So as a Consolation Prize, I’ll give...

Re: The Great Computer Give-Away!
I have an idea, the two people that win each of the (special) timing devices have a competition in September to see who has a better time.

Re: The Great Computer Give-Away!
Tom the problem with HAL is that I think it would be hard to hear him, oh wait you don't have to, seeing that he is doing the driving and so you can take a nap on the way down the course.

Re: The Great Computer Give-Away!
Dave, great idea on the competition; the nap notion not so much. You give the Silkrip ORR Computer (aka HAL) too much credit. I am constantly amazed at those of you (like Blue and Charlie and many others) who can compete at such a high level with just a stopwatch. But it still takes a lot of techie skill to use a computer, although Charlie has suggested the next logical step is to connect the infernal gadget to the accelerator pedal...

September 18th thru 19th 2020, A one time only (we hope) Ely Racer Celebration
So a group of the Racers from Utah are heading to Ely Friday September 18th. We will be gathering at Racks on E. Altman at 6:30 pm for dinner and drinks. Our special guest of honor will be Ms. Bunny Hill! She's excited to have racers come to town. Saturday Morning many are planning on playing a round of golf at White Pine Golf Course. Perhaps a impromptu pool tourney will break out later in the day? At 7:00pm some will be hopping on the Nevada Northern Railway for a "Star party". So I'm...

I'll be there with Tim Korsmo (navigator from last SSCC). We are coming a day early to allow for a few laps at SpeedVegas since I've been wanting to drive a C8 on track. We are not traveling in the "Sorta Stock" Subaru. Instead, we'll be in the big, black Holden Commodore VFII SS-V (Chevy SS). See you there.

Friday evening at Racks and everyone had huge grins on their faces all evening. What a great turnout. Clay has a surprise event for those who want to see a local car collection in the morning. I'm also looking forward to the 'star gazing ' train ride tomorrow night. Will be running the 318 at practice speeds tomorrow afternoon with new racer to SSCC. Met he and his Mom at BBORR last year. He's hooked. So glad I came. Thanks guys for thinking of this event.

I had a great time and made a couple of new friends. Loved walking around the collection of old Studebakers, Packards and other cool old cars in the guys collection. I covet the Sunbeam Tiger that he had. It was one of the later ones with the 289 instead of the 260 ford V8 in it. Any time I can spend time in the company of Bunny and the SSCC racing community is time well spent. Even if a race was not involved. Hope a race happens in May so I can see my friends, new and old, once again. Take...
