Dave,

Your offer of a beer got me thinking. So I'm in. Didn't get the seat time I wanted at VIR. I need seat time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See ya there! John

Coochas

That offer is no longer valid. Sorry bro. Well,....OK, I'll buy you some beers. How can I be a hard *** with Hello Kitty on my car?

As for NHMS, yes it's not a track you're going to drive 500 miles to drive (for most people). Its 1.6 miles and 11-12 turns (depending who counts) are very challenging to do right. And with all the bumps no two laps are quite the same which makes it even more fun.

I would sure love to see that new road course which management has talked about for years but I'm not holding my breath. For many of us NHMS is a 1-2 hour drive from home and we like that!

And let's be real here, this is DE: about half the enjoyment for me and Irene is hanging out with our track friends and NHMS draws in most of them!!!!!!! (Not you John)

Jay Gratton

This guy will be there, but I don't know if the Wacing Wabbit will be. I might just be instructing as I haven't even dug the car out of the garage in Kennebunk yet. Looking forward to seeing all my peps!

NHMS isn't that great, but it is better then work or not driving! I have grown to like it over the years.

Matt Romanowski

Bad assumption that I actually do work. I may be employed, but work is another matter.

Jay Gratton

Matt is good at hardly working, not working hard!

Rumor has it that due to the low number of participants that Fridays (4/8/11) advanced event (white, black & red only) MAY turn into an open track event.

If we have a surge in registrations it will be run like cups & saucers. Two run groups with lots of track time. Great chance to test out all those changes made over the winter.


btw...the average temperature for Loudon NH on April 8th is 54*. Turbos will love that.

When is the rumor getting "officialized" Brian?
I might take a trip up and ride around in the Cayman.......

Brian A.

We won't know for certain until the day before. However, even if we run two run groups you'll get plenty of track time. Gas up the Cayman and come play with us. We haven't seen you at NHMS in ages.

BostonDMD

Well, since the racecar is out of commission till the WGI race (and I have not been to NHMS in a while), my garage queen is the only option for the event.......which means I'll probably be slower than usual........

Coochas

The forecast is calling for 3-5 inches of snow in Loudon over the next 36 hours.
Maybe I should get a tech form for the Cayenne instead.

Brian A.

The snow is for this Friday. The track day is next Friday and the forecast for that day is Mostly Sunny and 49*. Beautiful track day for a turbo.

Jay Gratton

Come on up, I am probably running the STOCK 911 with mis-matched street tires on it. A day driving is better then a day of work.

Brian A.

When did you get a 911? It's tough keeping track of these Grattons.

Coochas

I don't think it matters if they're mis-matched. Just make sure they're all-season.
Looking forward to seeing you Jay.
Brian, since you live about 20 mins from NHMS, I think you should volunteer to go shovel off the track. I would pile some up near T3 as it would be better to hit a snow bank than the tire wall.

I'm heading to Conway Autoworks this afternoon to pick up the Pawxster with its new door and fresh paint! Looking forward to seeing everyone and giving the car some exercise!

Brian A.

I've ordered rain for the start of the week so the track will be washed clean for Friday.
