You are bringing a grill, not a campfire. Make sure to have some charred hotdogs on coat hangers - just in case. ;)[/quote]Suggest checking with Pantas, esp. if you want to ‘camp’ anywhere but the paved paddocks – generally not allowed in my experience renting the track unless explicit prior arrangement (re: extra $$) by the renter.

“camping” for us is sleeping in the trailers, so anywhere on the paved paddock is ok? they dont want us in the grass?

That’s me! I’m from the Mid-Atlantic region and I’m looking forward to playing on your track. There’s a bunch of us MA guys (http://www.nasaforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=38097) making the trip, unfortunately I’m the only E30 of the group…

Mediocrelantic Region? Welcome to the Deep South, y’all. We’ll be right friendly, 'less you try and take our women.:laugh:

If you are running Traqmate, I’d be happy to trade data. It will show you the finer points of following The Crazy Dane, Patton the Elder, Palacio the Younger, Walsh, Chuck “Sneaker” Taylor, etc. Mid-pack has never looked like a loftier goal for me. Robinson says the competition was stronger back in his day, but I don’t believe him.


#45

I don’t know about faster. It does seem like the SE30 group doesn’t cause Pantas as many problems with track mgmt these days.

But that just could be due to Al running vintage.

Steve, I do have a traqmate and would love some data from RA. Just don’t send me a sandbag session. :wink: I’ll shoot you a PM with my email address.

I was sandbagging, but not as bad as usual because I had to eke out a win against EPalacio on Saturday. :laugh:

My father and I will be headed over Friday morning from Birmingham. He is doing HPDE-3 and was wondering if anyone would have a problem with him parking with me in our area if there is room? I look forward to this weekend and I am looking forward to moving a little farther up the pack this time and taking down my sister car a.k.a. the “Fish” car. :wink: I might even beat Ranger with his own oil pan. :laugh:


#49

Bring it, but you won’t catch this fish!!! I’ve seen you drive…


#50

Oh I don’t to hear it. Mr. down to 2nd gear in T-7. Oh It Done Been Broughten!!! :laugh: I am looking forward to seeing you this weekend and I really want to talk to you about putting ABS back on the car.


#51

High probability of a MA front runner doing the Sat Race…

Andrew, you’re putting a lot of pressure on me. :blush:

You didn’t say anything about the “front runner” finishing the race. Duly noted. :laugh:


#55

I thought the SE already had a pace car and driver. Why do we need help from the MA?


#56

Who’s got contact info for Turnip? Ask him why his SpecE30 is apparently racing in Thunder (GTSU) instead of with us. GTSU? U?

Second gear in turn 7? That must be some other fish…

I can hook you up on the ABS; the install isn’t that hard.
