Lapping Day 101, Everything you always wanted to know about Lapping Days but were afraid to ask! Either would be appropriate titles for this event.

We are trying to get the club back on the track again as a group, sometime in the future. However, times have changed. Finances and insurance costs hinder our abilities as a club, so individual member effort and participation with larger and wealthier clubs is the only way at this time. But it requires doing some homework and preparation.

The Alfa Club is running the show on this day and has a good program, and we want as many Loti owners and cars in the pits as possible to observe and learn. If you are familiar with track days and plan on participating at this event, it is important that you have met all of the car, safety, driving, and registration requirements set by the Alfa Club on their website. nwalfaclub.com/track/welcome.php
For those that have been wanting to do a lapping day, but don't quite know the procedure, this is the event that could get you informed for future participation.

Come and enjoy the late afternoon, have dinner, ask questions, watch the procedures, support participating Lotus club members, and bring your cameras and stopwatches! Photographers should be able to get some interesting "twilight" calendar photo shots of cars on track.

In addition, we are trying to get a mobile dyno www.jetcitytuning.com/ to come to our event. The cost for hooking up your car and running one pull on this rig is $40, if you wish to do so, and includes a computer printout of the results. He has a number of different tuning packages available, as well. Find out what rear wheel HP your car is actually producing. This rig will be there for the Alfa Club members (courtesy of Evergreen Lotus) and for any others, as well, but with Lotus Club members getting initial priority. He can do about 2-3 cars per hour. He is insured and is concerned with proper strapping points. A waiver will naturally have to be signed, and car and tire conditions met.

This is an unusual WEEKDAY club event, held in the late afternoon/evening, so a light potluck dinner would be enjoyable. The club will bring plates, utensils, and napkins. Please let us know on the Evite what you might bring to our trackside picnic!

Hope to see you there!
