Focus Challenge, BeaveRun, May 13th - Focaljet

**Draxas** · 04-12-2006, 01:40 PM

Hey everyone,

I wanted to start a thread regarding the next round of the East Coast Focus Challenge, first of 2006 actually.

You can register for the event here:

http://redlinetrackevents.com/event_beaverun.htm

I know that we already have a few Focus owners who signed up for the Mid Ohio event that we are transferring to the BeaveRun weekend.

We will be working with Ron from FocalJet.com to make the Focus Challenge bigger and better than it ever has been in the past. For those that can stick around, we want to do an official awards party at the Holiday Inn just down the street from the track. Food, awards, giveaways, drinks, whatever.... It should be a blast.

We have just over 4 weeks to go before the event, so lets get a shout out from those people who know they will be there. I will update this thread with a participants list each time one of you signs up for the event.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to post here.

**fiends911** · 04-12-2006, 05:38 PM

thought it was the weekend before that nik? thats why i never called you back about transfering the payment cause i thought it was mothers day weekend.

**Draxas** · 04-12-2006, 06:52 PM

Corrected..... :-)

**fiends911** · 04-12-2006, 07:19 PM

damn got excited for a second

**P-51** · 04-12-2006, 07:26 PM

I don't think I can make it this year. My job transfer has given my budget a good kick in the nuts. Until the house sells, I'm pretty screwed.

**JimmySolo2** · 04-12-2006, 09:46 PM

Excuse my ignorance. Will you need instructors hanging out?

**BadIdea** · 04-17-2006, 12:31 PM

So it's $200 for the focus challenge on the 13th? Includes a transponder?

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it.

**Draxas** · 04-17-2006, 01:42 PM

Yes, $200 on Saturday, May 20th for the Focus Challenge.. this includes use of the AMB Transponder for the day.

I'll be there on the 20th too, but with PCA!

**Draxas** · 04-17-2006, 06:22 PM

Ugh.... 13th....

I'll be in California on the 20th running an event for the Mazda guys.... lol
Duhhhhh

**davlafont** · 04-27-2006, 12:44 PM

I've been signed-up and paid for Saturday, May 13 for awhile. I just registered at Focuschallenge.com as well. I don't get all the handicapping and stuff, but it doesn't really matter much to me. I don't expect to be "in the hunt," just want to enjoy my car to its/my fullest. Having a lap transponder would add to that, but it's not a deal braeker for me.

Any more details on how the event will run (like a schedule or something) would be great. There's not a lot of info on this at Redline, Focus Challenge, or Beaver Run. I'd like to do more than just show up...

**Draxas** · 04-27-2006, 05:07 PM

Here is a schedule for the weekend at BeaveRun:

http://redlinetimeattack.com/index-5scmo.html

You get a timing transponder for signing up for the Focus Challenge on Saturday, so you can use it all day long. If you are just coming out to have fun, trust me, you will! :-) The guys had a blast last year.

QFT!!!

I think I ended up with over 4-1/2 hours of on track time last year(or something like that).

It's not often that you find yourself with more track time than you care to use...

**Draxas** · 04-28-2006, 11:41 AM

For those interested.... This event is May 13th... For some reason, I cannot change the title of the thread, as it appears when you come to the Index of Road/Rally/Auto-x. I already logged in an edited the title of the thread, but it is not changing how it appears i in the Index.

I've just received another PM from a confused visitor...so I just wanted to clear that up.

**davlafont** · 04-28-2006, 05:50 PM

So I looked up the drivers list for Saturday. Of 20 drivers, I seem to be the only Focus listed

Hope some more show up to balance the 3 Evos, 3 STis, 4 S2000s and the M3!

(There are 3 with no car listed; maybe they're Foci?)

**Draxas** · 04-29-2006, 04:02 AM

Please let me know if your name does not appear, when it should be there. Hal PMed and let me know his name was not on the list posted at RedlineTrackEvents.com

I want to make sure that potential participants can see that yes, there are other Focus owners signed up. :-)

**OrangeSVT03** · 05-01-2006, 11:41 AM

Well... my car is down AGAIN... same fuel issues as before.

I will NOT be attending..... stupid POS Focus

**Draxas** · 05-01-2006, 02:59 PM

Arghh.... No time to get it fixed before the event? I would have loved to see your car in action!

you dont think that putting over 170hp per ltr would have much to do with it. Your putting more hp out than my DSS build 5.0!!!

**OrangeSVT03** · 05-01-2006, 03:32 PM

I'm about <-------- this close-------> to putting it back to stock.....

needless to say I'm VERY pissed about all the tune issues.....

Everyone says how "great" SCT is... I never had these problems when I was using Diablo.... they started with the SCT software... VERY FIRST FLASH

**P-51** · 05-01-2006, 07:37 PM

Didn't Tom tune that thing?

**JimmySolo2** · 05-01-2006, 11:29 PM

I might do this. No promises. I'll be at Watkins Glen on 5/8-9 so I might be outta cash but I get paid that Friday. Can I drop a check off on Saturday Morning? Also, if I can make it, I'll be available to instruct.

I might try to talk my bud with a Type R to run timed laps. He'll be up at Watkins Glen too so I cannot promise.

**Draxas** · 05-02-2006, 01:32 AM

Jimmy,

Yes, you can pay that day, no problem.

**BadIdea** · 05-02-2006, 09:05 AM

I can't make it this year. Everyone have fun and be safe!
