Whoopin? Hehe -- funny coming from a guy that's been slower than me most of the time we autox together....

And no, I won't be there - - not because I'm skeered of you, Ariel. (mis-spelling intended). It's my wife's birthday. Gotta have priorities man.

Have fun on Sunday -- hope you do well.

PS: I see your brother will be at Lime Rock next week - but not you. How come?

Hey Guys,

I'm making a few trips to the area this year and will be there for about 4 weekends and am looking to do some track events/auto cross while I'm there. Anything happening in August and September.

He actually had to cancel Lime Rock. The 2nd motor the 914 came with, the supposed race 2.0L that was ready to run...is definetely not ready to run. It needs some serious carb tuning, they're not anywhere near syncronized. Even once that is done and the carbs are tuned, he'd like to get some autox's in the car before heading right to a DE...

I didnt make registration in time, was running around with FSAE racecar stuff around that time. As for future events, I will try to make them but $$ is an issue.

It should be an interesting autox, no power steering with power rack (figure I'll give it a try at autox before I reconnect...its nice at the track but maybe too heavy for autox) and the first time I've tracked the car in any way since September. Since then I've done a bunch of driving of the FSAE car...an interesting transition...thats for sure.

Here are two pics...both from competition.

Look forward to seeing the rest of you there.

Jeremy -
Instead of www.pca.org/nnj here's a direct link to our website:
www.nnjr-pca.com

NNJR AUTOX Events in July/August:
July 9th @ PNC Arts Center (Holmdel. NJ -- exit 116 on Garden State Parkway)
July 17th @ Meadowlands (Giants Stadium) parking lot
July 30th @ Meadowlands
August 7th @ Meadowlands
August 27th @ PNC Arts Center
September 17-18 @ Pocono International Raceway (Part of our annual 'Porscherama' three-ring circus - an event that combines DE, autox, rally, and concours in one weekend!)

Adrial - too bad about your bro. Wonder if you can 'swap' places with him and run your 951S. Wouldn't hurt to ask Arlene....

-Z.

If I wake up early I may drive over to say hi, but no cone banging for me 'track bad, wax good'.

Well, Damian's car made it! His old coupe was there and the car never looked happier.

I went to the 5/22 autox, that was my wife's birthday. Me thinks Z-man is skeered of someone other than Adrial.

Oh really? And who might that be? If you day Ida, you've got to be joking...

If you mean the Mrs, well, that's a different story -- not skeered, but an understanding compromise. (BTW: She's coming with me to Lime Rock this weekend...)

Z - What is the next Autocross you are coming too? RD did a nice job this past weekend. Much more fun that PNC.
