Never been to the Saturday ones...wonder how crowded they get?

forza1976 · 03-12-2010, 12:57 PM

I went opening day in 2008 and it was awesome... I had 4 runs by 11am already. If you get there early people with race cars are doing their more detailed ech inspection and you can just rip through a couple runs. My car takes about 2 minutes to get through tech.

chanceparker · 03-12-2010, 02:05 PM

what do you need to pass the tech inspection exactly?

forza1976 · 03-12-2010, 02:13 PM

Not really anything, they just have you fill out a form and show your drivers license. If your car runs in the 13's they require you to have a helmet but they do have them there to rent.

Basically they check to see if you have any modifications that are unsafe or a battery that isn't tied down correctly. For cars that are virtually stock it's a super simple inspection and process.

chanceparker · 03-12-2010, 05:55 PM

Thanks. Do you know if you can have a passenger? My 13 year old son would have a big time.

Yup, he can ride along.

Bimmer This · 03-12-2010, 07:24 PM

They will usually let a passenger ride along as long as the car is not insanely fast.

Weather permitting I would be down for this...whats the cost?

No way jose. Very seriously doubt I'm going to run this year. I'd rather get out to HPR.

I'm good with anything after mid april. Thats when I plan on changing over to the summer rubber.

F82_SID · 03-14-2010, 05:34 PM

I am down! Went a couple times last year and had a blast!

raceyBMW · 03-14-2010, 09:34 PM

The RMCBMWCCA spring HPDE will be at HPR this year! (think that was way too many acronyms)

Read something about that on the main page last month. I was already planning to go.

Dackz · 03-15-2010, 07:32 PM

Son of a....I forgot I have other plans for that day already...scratch the idea for me. Although, I will be making it down there at some point.

raceyBMW · 03-15-2010, 10:12 PM

Don't forget the Denver Auto Show is that weekend too...I think I will be there.

You always have other plans to do something else!

Dackz · 03-16-2010, 12:42 PM

Tell me about it. I could maybe make it later on in the morning/afternoon but by then I am guessing it will be so crowded it wont even be worth showing.
