East Coast Spectating Group


#1

Looks like it will be a good showing of “has been/no shows” to watch the races.
Heck, might even organize a has-been banquet.

Will know further when and where I’ll be as the event draws near.

Other has-beens, sign up here:

R Patton
L Parkhurst
D Parkhurst
S DeVinney
C Taylor

Looks like a fun group. Where’s Geiger and ole whats-his-name, that-guy, Jimmy Robertson?

Others?

Like the devil - say my name and I shall appear.

At least to the forum…

Spectating… wow. I thought I read its like $40 to get in?

I’ll have to give this some thought. It would be nice to see you ne’er do wells again, at least some of you…


#3

We should contact the guys that have left the series in the last 5-6yrs and invite them. I’d love to see those guys again.


#4

Ranger, get busy, good idea. I ain’t got no group list thingee.

Jim, great to see you’re out there!
See the other East Coast blabber post and see if you can line up a “pit pass” thing.

Just got off the phone with Brendon, He needs to do the same.

Seems like a fun concept. I may try to make it Sunday and tell you guys why you’re slow and who’s clearly cheating (ahem, DeVinney) - of those with running cars left that is.

What time does the show start?

From https://www.facebook.com/groups/SpecE30/

Former SpecE30 racers. Come to the East Coast Championships next weekend at RA, hang out with the 40 of us, and drink our beer. Contact us via the forums and we’ll work out a way to get you a crew pass so you don’t have to pay the rather large gate fee. Qual races Friday@12:05 and Saturday@11:40. Championship race Sunday@1:25. The SpecE30 paddock is on top of the hill above the Pro Pits.

Scott, thanks for the schedule. Doesn’t lend itself well to tequila at the end of the day.

That is Brendan Digel. BMW mechanic that races an 80’s 6 series with BMWCCA. Did a lot of work on the ill-fated Continental car that SpecE30 racers Steve Devinney, Jim Robinson, and Craig Geiger put a lot of time and energy into.


#12

Done


#13

Can somebody please reserve a crew spot for Eric Nissen? E30/GTS2/KP guy who hangs with us a lot. He’s not on this site but I know he had an interest in going as well. Thanks in advance.


#14

We need a master list of those committed to coming and those committed to leaving crew passes in their name. Otherwise this is going to get confused and folks won’t get in, or crew passes will get wasted.

Here’s the start of the master list. Pls copy/paste the whole list as it fills in later posts.

Spectator, Crew pass donor
Chuck Taylor Scott Gress
available? Scott Gress
available Al K
available Al K
Brendan Digel Brian Edmonds

Chris Tuttle Coming?

Chuck, re. Eric. If you’re certain he’s coming, I’ll reserve my 2nd pass from him. Need to be certain tho.


#15

Negative. Didn’t realize it was next weekend (vs this). I’m out of town :frowning: Would have been awesome to get the old band back together and sing Springsteen’s ‘Glory Days.’


#16

DeVinney was coming as my crew but now his wife is taking him to the beach. Probably by force.


#17

I have two for sale. $20 each. It will help offset my weekend fuel cost. :woohoo:


#18

Scott, Eric is a no show, so your second pass is still up for grabs. Thanks tho.

Has anyone talked to Arjun from UUC? I know he’s not racing, but he might be attending. I can shoot him a message tomorrow and ask. All my crew passes are spoken for, but seems like some have extras.
