Hey Ron

You will need to add Thompson GPS coordinates into the AIM Smarty Camera if you want to see lap times on the dash and video, as this is a new track. Here are the coordinates I found on the internet (must be true!). You can build the track in the GPS manager then send it to your Smarty Cam. Call me if you need assistance. Note that you need to use decimal Lat and Lon which I have included in the second image. 941 228 8964

Comfort Inn, Dayville, CT. It's clean, modern, and relatively inexpensive. Ask for the track rate. About 10 minutes from the track.

You can also stay at Mystic, CT. It is about 50 minutes away but stuff to do for the family.

That's a great idea as there is absolutely NOTHING near that track worth doing or seeing!

Booked Comfort Inn at Dayville -- also suggested by a few CVR people.

Going to Thompson with CVR this Fri and Sat. First time there. Always looking forward to working out a new track. Weather is supposed to be excellent and Susan (CVR reg) says we'll have tons of track time. Only three groups -- Red+Black running together.
