Guys, sorry I have been MIA lately but my schedule hasn't left much time for fun lately.

I'll me at MSR this coming weekend rain or shine to prepare for a race in Houston the following weekend. I can get confirmation on options for the track day. Anyone know what time the sun sets in November? Another option is to 'take posession' of the track at the end of the member day on Saturday, this will keep costs down. I am envisioning 2 run sessions. One session for newbies that will be lead and follow behind experienced folks. The second session being hot laps for those who have been certified as solo drivers by the PCA or other organization.

For the scenic street drive, the Ferrari club ran a route near MSR that was fantastic! I should be able to get the whole course mapped out for us.

5:30 or so in mid-Nov.....

That may be a good plan, as we discussed having a dyno day or something car-related, which could be done prior to the track sessions. Is there a member day on Friday at all?

We will definitely bring at least 2 sharks from the RGV.

I'd like to participate. One shark. Maybe one copilot if I can get the girlfriend involved.

Not unless there is a really bright moon. No lights. I think Rob was asking what time it got dark to see how much light would be left after the members are off the track. Not much time, if it's a Saturday deal. If we did something on Friday, perhaps we can do a mid-afternoon deal with the schedule outlined above by Rob, and dyno or tech stuff prior. Saturday, a drive and then show and shine on Sunday.

Nice one John!. Tough crowd indeed! I can't comment on our 'involvement' on this sight without being banned, but she has been extremely patient with my auto involvements thus far! No picts, you'll have to meet her in person.

MSR should be a go. I'm able to get some nice rates for a 1/2 rental of the track and I've passed the info on to Roger. I believe they are meeting this weekend to nail down the particulars.

Dunno, but I'm hoping four months is enough time for that to recede a bit!

Yes, the monthly DFW 928 meeting is this Saturday, but I will be @ Lime Rock in CT, working the ALMS Northeast Grand Prix.

I am interested in the options, so that I might 'vote by proxy!'

Thanks!
Kim
