California Festival of Speed - April 20-22 @ Autoclub Speedway

Post by 5chn3ll » Fri Feb 09, 2018 5:04 pm

How many of you guys will be attending CFOS this year? I'll be doing the volunteer thang all three days - so there will be a definite need for post-event beers Friday and Saturday night.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

I'll prolly be racing at FOS again this year. Gotta face my fears on that big banked curve.

Looks like I'll be one of the track tour guide cars on Sunday. Pole position!

Yup, got the email from PCA. If I'm not out of town, I'm planning on showing up on Saturday.

Okay, this right here is a wonderful opportunity for Outpost exposure among a captive audience of your target market. At the very least, a not so subtle "996Outpost.com" tinted banner across the top of your windshield is in order. You know, across the windshield of your marketing vehicle that will be included in your expense tax write-offs for your new business this year.

PM me if you need help getting something sized and set up for a printer. ^ That is an excellent idea.

Thanks for the offer. I have a vinyl decal for the front windshield arriving later this week. It was a Q&D Amazon order; if it sucks, I may take you up on the offer.

I'm going to get some cards printed up - there's always a 996 corral, so I'll hit the windshields a couple of times each day.

Yesterday I registered to race at FOS, so I will be there.

If Schnelly wants to pop for a set of tires, I will take my company name off of the windshield banner and replace it w/ 966Outpost.com.
