Default Race Track Combat

I signed up for this early season event and I'm wondering who else is in on this. It's a race day at NJMP, Lightning, and I'm hearing that it's really shaping up. It will be well organized with Cameras rolling and everything. All kinds of cars, with class structure based on power:weight. Take a look:

Let's go racing already!

Frank I am am in as well .

It looks like it will be an awesome event with some great guys to hang with.I love the structure (power/weight and lap records) of the event and the prize money is just a bonus.

It will be good to see you my friend.

Ha! I checked the NJMP site, and they got that blurb straight from them, so I guess Lightning is considered a 10 turn circuit. Maybe they count steering corrections...

You in on this gig, Bob?

Frank, no engine My old carcass was supposed to be nearing completion so I sold the stock engine two weeks ago to a rennlister in need of a long block. Then 3 days later I was informed they are still almost 2 months out.

I just dug up a salvage engine to freshen asap and get on the track in the meantime. I hope to test end of the month at NJMP while we setup our DAS trailer. we will see.................. Good luck and worse case I can come watch.

I'm in, I will be driving the 968.

Hey Steve, that avatar is so true, you are as always way ahead of me .
Your new living room piece will be running in a few days. It's looking way better than it does in your avatar.

Frank don't kick the mice out, the trick is to install the tread mill for them to make you some extra HP

Gary, we moved the furniture out of the living room and its all set for that show piece. How could I ever race against you in that car . Its so beautiful I would be scared I would scratch it or get it dirty

Well, since I moved from my home and garage, I had to store the car, and now I have no idea what shape it's in as I've turned my back on it. But, I like your Kerrs/Mice idea!

Gary, watcha gonna do for graphics and appearance? We out to stage a grand unveiling for this car somewhere!
And what about the 968? I hear it's dinged. ???
