Forklift,
Have you recieved confirmation on the DE.
I have not but find it interesting that a number of non Potomac members have. In addition it appears that others in the Red group have not recieved any confirmation. I welcome everyone from the other regions as I participate in their functions but, I was "just wondering."
Look forward to seeing you there but who knows!!!!

The new pavement is at a minimum 2 seconds faster than last year. With clear track it is a hoot. Here is a couple of laps from last November, all in the mid to high 1:26 except for the last one with traffic. Prior to the new pavement I was lucky to get in the 1:29 range. I have read some posts from last week that says turns 5-7 is starting to turn back into it's bumpy self. Bummer!

Seems I wont be in white...
They didn't get me updated in time, so it's either "run in blue" or wait-list in white. I chose blue because I want track time and will roll the dice. Sorry Gary R. Won't be able to hold you up!!!

Mike I went through the same thing when I started. I was in green w/ Potomac (only one event w/ them) and then got promoted to blue at Z2....but that promotion didn't stick w/ Potomac and I understand why. Not all promotions are equal between chapters.
So...I might be wrong, but I think you still have to get signed off for white in Potomac, which doesn't sound like it will be a problem.

That's ok Mike, with me running 1:10's with my 78 SC everyone is going to just have to stay so alert that it won't be fun in White anyway.

With my new 438 HP motor I need to break her in slowly so I don't rip off a CV joint or tear a wheel apart. I have her down to 1761 LB now (with driver and a full tank) so Dan said I might twist an axle but it shouldn't break. I just took it up my road and got pulled over for doing 62 in a 30.. I was only 100 feet out of my driveway in 1st gear...
