      Thanks for the invite Larry but that's a work day for me and I'm all out of vacation time until September. Perhaps I'll see you at our C.A.R.T. track day on September 7th? Got some new wheels and tires (read: wider and stickier) for that special occasion. Probably won't make me a better driver but hopefully the rear end won't come around as easily as she does with the Direza Z2's!

      Enjoy your SCDA day!

      Anyone going to this?

      "New England Tuners Society (NETS) and NASANE return to Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park for a trackside car show and HPDE awesomeness!

      Come out and meet your fellow NETS members as you enjoy full access to all the NASANE HPDE action on track.
      Your admission to the car show gives you an ALL ACCESS PASS TO THOMPSON SPEEDWAY!

      Heres how it works:

      $15 admission per car to the car show, $10 per guest, and $5 per child. Each admission cost gives you an all access pass to Thompson Speedway during the HPDE and allows you to check out the track cars, watch the event trackside, and even check out the paddock and see live NASANE close up! It doesn't get any better than this.
      We will also be having another raffle where you can win some awesome prizes!
      Ratchet Head will also be grilling up some delicious BBQ food which is included in your admission cost.
      SPACE IS LIMITED FOR THIS EVENT TO ONLY 250 ALL ACCESS PASSES, SO RSVP NOW!

      The event itself goes from 10 AM-2 PM but you are allowed to stay on Thompson grounds with your wristband.
      As always, we have basic ground rules for the events. Please use common sense- no car shenanigans, drugs/alcohol or loud music.

      Spread the word and lets make this event HUGE! Don't miss out on an absolutely awesome experience, not in just the car show, but seeing your fellow NETS members with NASANE on track at this new local road course!

      If you have any questions, please contact Ian Haan for more information."

      I'm afraid that's as good as it gets for me for the forseeable future... But "Mia" (named by my oldest daughter) is a ball to drive. You can either drive a fast car slow or a slow car fast in autocross. Right now, I'm doing the latter... When/If I finally get my 442 clone pt project done, I may give a few c5 'vettes a run for their money, but only if I can develop the proper skills.

      Here's what my 442 should look like

      ... 468 cu in, 335 rear tires, posi, about 420hp/500 lb ft to the rear wheels, etc. Handling and suspension package from Mark at SC&C. But it's a slow build, so Mia is my fun ride right now.

      So what do YOU drive my friend? The '67 Poncho firebird? Cool car I always liked the firebirds more than the camaro's.....I just found your build thread... maybe I can get some ideas for mine since I am soooo far away from completion... only up to frame narrowing and mini tub installation...
      Hope to see you there the 27th.

      btw: For my first autox at TMP, I placed in novice. I'm pretty sure I'm not that great of a driver, so goes to my little MX.
      And a big "Thanks" to Kevin Fitzmaurice who sold me the little screamer in the first place... All I need now is a truck and trailer (maybe even just a box trailer since my son in law has one) so I can go to events farther away and leave the race tires on all the time....

      Yeah, I'll keep dreamin'.... Still paying for my daughters May wedding.

      Thanks for the heads up BTS.

      Man I'd really like to but I'm on call that weekend and can't plan a darn thing. Next time? Any events in October? I have a weeks vacation time to use up and can't think of a better way to spend some of it than at one these events.

      I'm on call that week too! But I got a co worker to swap the weekend so i can make the CART track day. I checked the schedule and don't see anything posted for October. Do they run events during that month??

      9/17 with scda. Pic of Thompson 8/6 me in blue. Mea culpa but I got absolutely sick of trackside repairs with an older Vette plus wanted a warranty and the C7 was over a year away and several years and big $$ for a pro-touring was more than I can take. 2nd pic is of my tow vehicle so I'm not a complete Euro douchebag.

      Nice 'Vette Larry. Good choice! Lots of power, great handling. I look forward to watching you run.

      I was getting ready to request the week of sept 8th off so I can make the thursday northeasttrack day event on the 11th, but the job that kicked me out of my scheduled vacation labor day week just got pushed back a week! So I missed the 11th and now have the labor day week off!..... Sheesh. I searched but can't find any sort of track day that week. Our club has a picnic the 6th and autocross event the 7th at tmp, which I will probably attend but would really REALLY like to do a weekday event during my vaca. Timing is everything...

      If anyone finds something that week in my area, please give me a heads up here.

      Thanks.
