I am starting to think of next years vacation and am thinking of visiting relatives in MI. I figure to possibly attend MSC 2011.

Any ideas of dates yet??

Excellent, you can count us in! If Deb has her way the wagon will be out on the Gingerman course also. God help us all!

You can count me in. Tom, I think the wagon will look good out on gingerman course. How was your trip to Las Vegas?

Good deal Randy, share a room again?

Maybe we can box in Stielow and sling-shot one of us around him. ;)

I talked to Scott about this yesterday (Thanks, Scott!) and it seems likely, though I'm working on a rollover protection solution just in case.

What about cars with no top at all? At least to autocross.

I'm thinking that in most places Autox is OK but not tracks - not sure though. That's typically how the SCCA chapters run local Autox.

I wouldn't miss it for anything else.

I will be able to finally have some all out fun without any mechanical problems I hope! I know I can cut 10 seconds off my time with some RPM'S.

For you convertible guy's they let you out there but you have to be in control and safer than the rest of us who get to use the whole track,lol.

Dammit, I've been waiting for this thread.......I'M IN.

I was still working out all of my gremlins after finishing the build in 2009, and serious brake issues last year prevented any safe highway travel, let alone a road circuit!! SO, by the power of Hydratech, I will definitely make it for 2011.

.....now if only my buddy Tommy Parker can get that GOLD Camaro done by then!!!!

I missed this one last year after I blew up at the Faceoff.

I have every intention to make this one!

There will be some new tricks on board to (hopefully) keep me ahead of that pesky Deb Farrington's wagon! LOL!

Debington
11-27-2010, 08:30 AM
LOL.....You are my inspiration Scott! Hopefully there will be a few new tricks to the wagon. I am just afraid they won't include adding power to the motor! See you at Motor State anyway.

Can't wait!

I'll be adding a bit of power...and some bite. If I can add a little talent behind the wheel too, I'll be happy!

I feel your pain. I trying to set money to the side for the interior. Now running short on money for the motor. I need to win the lottery.

My problem is time, the parts are piling up, as the car is coming apart.

But it is a much lighter pile at least, the carbon fiber is going to really help!

That's the best place to stay since it is right acroos the way from Lanes. I look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks Jim. I'm looking forward to shaking your hand. I'm sure my track performance will create some laughs. I'm already laughing. A friend is helping me install rollover protection in the gto. Since he has his shop setup with his tig welder and tubing bender, we're doing it as his place just a few miles from my house. His wife walked in the other night after I was gone from dropping the car off and asked him what the car was doing in the garage since it looked done. When he told her we were putting a roll bar in it and racing seats, she said "what, is he an a$$hole?"

My buddy Jeff told me the next morning and I snorted coffee through my nose. I'm hoping that will be the first of many laughs this year around these events.

Now, if they would just open registration for motor state.....

Hello Everyone,
Sorry for the delay in getting registration up, didn't mean to keep you all waiting so long.
Glad to hear so many of you are planning on making the event, it will be a blast as always.
If you have any questions feel free to drop me a note or call me.
Look forward to seeing you all in a few months.

Scott

Looks like I will be tring to make the 2012 Event rather than this year. 5K for a europe trip for my son takes some out of the car budget. But gives me more time to get the car more done.
