Can't get much closer - about 5 miles from my place.

Unimaginable horror for those poor children....not to mention the adults

 

That is the home town of a friend and Co-worker. His sister still lives nearby there. Very sad

As is said, it is a small world and something like this affects us all in someway.

 

Happy holidays. Hope to see you guys next year.

Have fun at the track.

 

Happy Holidays to you guys! Got some snow last night so a little Christmacy outside...

 

Happy Holidays to all of you too.

Had a great Christmas with family.
Now waiting for the Nor'easter to hit...looking at where to go skiing

Then there are the thoughts of that next track day dancing in the back of my head (May 4-5th at VIR?)

BTY - TrackMasters has listed their 2013 Schedule:

Don't think my sub 2000lb track monster will be ready forTM's.....
;-)

 

What? You've got all winter. What else do you have to do with your time during these long winter days?

Really - hope it it is coming along well. Any more pictures?

 

Builder would like to keep it hush hush at the moment. But maybe I'll send you guy's an email with a couple..

 

Waiting for the unveiling, but hopefully not too long.

 

Maybe I'll drive up there and try for some spy photos.

 

Looks like SCDA is open for registration. And they have a lot of LRP days this time around.

 

I counted 13 dates at Lime Rock this season! Perhaps Ian should rename his group Lime Rock Drivers Association!

 

GVC has announced their season and it starts with a set of weekend dates, less than 4 months from now. Who's up for May 3 - 5?

Me, Me, Me

 

Can't book anything until the car is close to being done. I think the one unmuffled day would be my only option anyway and that's the end of June?? Doesn't matter...

Just waiting...

 

I am set to go AutoX this Saturday. Hope to be ready for it.

 

Good Luck!!

 

Let us know how it goes

 

Am thinking of getting my track fix this year. Fast losing whatever little track skills I have left.

Perhaps I would try the Skippy Two Day Advance Race School again. Maybe Sebring or ???? Anyone game?

 

Hmmmmm....isn't that, like, in Florida

I would wear my car (and me) out just getting down there.

However, I am signed up for WGI on May 5 & 6 w/GVC BMWCCA
I've got 2 sets of Dunlop Z1s that just won't wear out that have to get gone before I switch to the Toyo R888s I bought.

What about a couple of days at VIR? I could maybe fit that place in.

 

You don't need your own car with Skippy. They provide their formula mazda open wheel or the spec racing miata MX5 for the event. They will pump the gas and do all the maintenance between sessions. Just bring your own shoes, gloves and helmet if you want. I do not have a suitable vehicle for track on the mainland anymore.

Did a few advance race schools many moons back and they run more than 4 hours track time and three hours of instruction a day. I think we had over 6 hours a day track time at Laguna Seca where only 12 of us signed up. You do really learn a lot from these guys as they are pros.

 

Just rent a Corvette or Mustang and return it with half its tires

 

Thats a decent idea. I think I need some good instruction to eliminate some back habits I picked up in the break.

 

How are you guys in terms of getting your cars ready for the track? Have not heard from some of you in some time.

 

Suspension being built now....

 

Are you going to make the start of the season?

What do you think of the mclaren mp4 for track?
