Ummmm..... YEH!!!!

Don't know nuthin bout CVR, but the NNJR event is chiseled in STONE! Come up Wednesday Evening, hang out, and you can caravan out with me and my gal on Thursday... if'n I get yur cage done. It's a pretty easy 8 hours from here.

Most technical track out there... until Calabogie, which from what I'm told might best it. M-O is great fun!

You're worried about 8.5 hours? Get with it, man. Road America is 15+, Road Atlanta is 14, etc. (from near you in NJ) You don't want to leave those off your list, either...

Mosport, MO, and VIR are all ~8 from NYC area, don't miss any of them.

okay, okay, I give. I guess I'll pass on the zone 1 then CVR WGI event later that month (I get limited passes from the head of the household for the 4 day + trips). John - thanks for the offer, but I think I'll pass on adding 3 hours to the trip. And, I thought you'd have the cage and all the other work done this week. What's the hold up? You need more than a week?

MO is a blast...But I am biased as I grew up going there for IMSA races.

OVR has a DE in April

Just finished a day of DE at Mid-OH - well a part of a day - it actually SNOWED there today. The track is awesome. I will need many more DEs to get half good here. When I wasn't running, it was very entertaining watching other classes, especially instructors and A. You really need to work on carrying speed into the long straights or lap times suffer dramatically.
