2. how does the $100 rebate work? will i see it when i check out?
3. in my car i have an older RCI 4 pt harness on the drivers side and a ractive 4 point on the pass side. is this adequate or should i replace them?
4. whats the best way to apoligize to my dad for passing him all day?

You should each have your own account w/ email and mailing address, especially to receive the $100 rebate check.
2. how does the $100 rebate work? will i see it when i check out?
The rebate is just that: a rebate after your first COM event. Once you complete your first COM event you are eligible to receive the rebate, which is mailed to each eligible member after their first event.
3. in my car i have an older RCI 4 pt harness on the drivers side and a ractive 4 point on the pass side. is this adequate or should i replace them?
If you have stock belts then it really doesn't matter how old your harness belts are since you/your instructor can opt to use the factory belts. Without stock belts then the age of your harness belts may be in issue, you can ask the chief of tech listed on the web site.
4. whats the best way to apoligize to my dad for passing him all day
Pay for his next COM event as an apology or Fathers Day gift or both.

'Tis true. If the instructor uses the stock belt, then he can request that you do also.solfly wrote:thanks, i was under the impression that if i had a harness the pass. side needed to be equal or better...

Re: first timer(s)... a few questions
The COM Sports Car Club registration window, located at the Main Gate of the track, will be open Thursday evening from 7:00 – 9:00 PM and from 7:00 – 8:00 AM on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
At any of these times you will also be able to pay for garage space. The cost for a garage remains the same as previously - $50 per day per garage (providing ample room for two cars). Do not utilize any garage space prior to registering. Garages are sold on a first-come first-served basis.

Re: first timer(s)... a few questions
it's probably also helpful to mention that it is possible to rent a single garage bay for $25, if you only have one car.
Re: first timer(s)... a few questions
im planning to bring an extra set of front brakes for each car, any other suggestions?

A tarp. You will need to empty your car of all loose items including floor mats, iPods radar detectors and (for New Hampshire people) pistols and assault rifles. If you cover them and your water and food snacks with the tarp they will not get wet and the color will serve to reserve your paddock spot.solfly wrote:im planning to bring an extra set of front brakes for each car, any other suggestions?
Don't forget your car numbers and class decals.

Re: first timer(s)... a few questions
well im hoping to rent garage space and our cars are only raced so not much junk in them. how far will our tow rig be from the paddock/garage area? can the numbers and classes be made on windows with painters tape?brucesallen wrote:A tarp.

Re: first timer(s)... a few questions
you can park your rig in the paddock area and be quite close to your garage. painter's tape is fine for numbers and class.
Re: first timer(s)... a few questions
thanks, is there likely to be garage space still available Friday morning?
