Default New Hampshire, 4/8-10 - Who's going?

Hi there,

I am wondering who is heading up to NH at the beginning of April? I am hoping for reasonable weather, hopefully no snow or flooding (remember that year?)

My car, Orange 76 911, has spent the first part of 2011 in EPE's shop. A new LSD, shortened gears (3-5), new front Boxster brakes, switching from street tires to Nittos's, and a bunch of other work. Basically, a new car from a driving standpoint.

I cannot wait for the season to get going as it has been a long long winter.

Cheers
Nick

If it's not snowing, I'll see you up there Nick. Your car is morphing into mine!

Dennis,

Yes, it is. Sometime this year I will be looking into adding a digital dash, a smartycam with GPS, and some data logging with RPM. With everything that I already did, I have to take it easy for a bit. Kay is raising her eyebrows a bit much lately.

Snow could definitely make it an interesting day.

Irene and I will both be driving.
We're really looking forward to hitting the track and seeing everyone.
Car is currently getting bodywork fixed from last year's Calabogie Carnage. I also painted the calipers orange which should markedly shorten braking distances.

SEE YOU ALL SOON!

Dave and Irene, looking forward to seeing the kitty car. I am surprised you are fixing the bodywork. I actually liked the small message you put over it after the accident. It was most amusing.

Looking forward to see everyone.

I don't see any reasonable improvements that would affect the track. A new scoreboard, but who cares.

Btich Bitch Bitch. While you are working, we'll be playing. I'd say any day driving is better than a day not driving.

NHIS is not a bad track, there are just much better tracks out there. Then again, it is an hour away and I will be driving. At the end of the day, being behind the wheel is all I really want.
