Hi Frank! I heard a rumor that Fred might be coming back. Fred?

Is Duane's current car D or E?

Duane is E now, and I bet Fred has little idea what Fred is going to do! May even see that guinea sumbitch Appaloochi in the mix with us cruising around in his comfort zone!

A friend and fellow PCA racer went to Mosport last year. He said it was awesome.

997 Miles
16 hrs 44 mins.

That is a 2 day tow each way. Yowza!

Watkins Glen
840 Miles
13 Hours 58 mins.

That is a long tow and a long time away from the office.

VIR
342 Miles
5 hours 41 mins

That's more like it. I have not been driving in June, July, August the last 2 years. Except in June 2010 I went to Hutchinson Island, Savannah. It was 98 degrees and 98% humidity. Never again.

He actually has one of each. The orange D car is for sale (new car for FredC?), but I think he is going to run it at selected events.

With regard to those long tows, we are trying something different this year for Sebring. Intersport Performance has hired a car hauler that can take as many as ten cars down and the cost is going to be $800 per car. I figure that is $400 less than the cost of gas to tow myself, which should cover the plane ticket.

Lime Rock
Watkins Glen
Whatever track the NE contingency is going to
NJMP
Summit

BTW, I should be in E and 100 lbs lighter by next season, (not that it really makes any difference...)

What about all your stuff? Wheels, tools, fuel jugs, spares, etc?

Sounds like a great idea Frank, but I'm with Chris. I need all my spares and tools, espacially that far from home and any known (to me) shops.

DM did end up buying my old SC's engine.

Currently doing some cleaning and updates to car. Had to pull the engine to repair the broken #5 intake valve adjuster from the Turkey Bowl.
