LOL @ some of those Halloween activities, sounds like fun :wink:
We are starting to gear up for a very fun weekend!
Spaces are still available in all groups except Instructor and Kart Enduro, which are both full with waiting lists. HPDE1 and HPDE3 are both...
The 2009 NASA Mid-Atlantic track season ends with the "Fall Finale" at Summit Point's 2-mile main circuit on Sat & Sun Nov 7-8! There is no racing scheduled but there will be all four levels of HPDE...
Three cars were done and racing last season (J. McAvoy in the RRT car aka the prototype, J. Packer in #242 aka the first completed chassis, and G. Widas in a black one.) Last I heard, 20+ suspension...
What a great race. Especially the last few hours!

Thanks Woody.
There are 27 drivers signed up for 11/23 as of this morning.
5-6 runs may be more like 8-10 runs. ;-)
Third date looks like it will be Jan 18.

NASA-MA is seriously considering this new venue as well. I got the grand tour a couple of weeks ago. It is AWESOME. Far better in person than in pictures & diagrams.
Can't wait,
Jon
Thanks Woody. There's nothing you don't know. They were both perfectly nice people and everyone's entitled to a second chance but this is a safety issue so I have to wonder if there's a mindset...
Their hauler has nothing to do with anything. She applied - and was verified by TrackDaze - as an Advanced-level, passing-in-corners with a point by, driver. I don't know her exact experience but...
Woody, your statements are incorrect. She was an advanced driver out during the first session for that group on Thursday morning. She rolled the Cobra in T14 and walked away totally unhurt. The...
I used Mann filters (spin-on) exclusively on the E30 because they were cheap and available locally and recommended by my favorite BMW master tech (he had a long explanation about that spring-loaded...
I've heard of that gang. :wink:
See ya there!!!

Updating the thread, we're back at VMP for an autoX on Sun 1/14/07. This event will offer 6-8 runs on a big fast fun Rod McGeorge-designed course, and it's about two-thirds full now:

And the dished DSII's... and the 160mph speedo... and soforth...
Probably too much work just to end up with a car that looks like more of a sleeper than it already is :biggrin:

I'm going to rebadge my car in the opposite direction. Hopefully the public will believe that it's a "real" E36 318i. :biggrin:
(And fewer Honda owners will try to drag-race me as a result.)

(I thought some of you might be interested, because we usually get a fair number of BMW participants, and participants from the DC area in general...)

We did more research today and can officially confirm that there's exactly nothing going on at the DragonsRidge site itself as of 1/13/06. Here's what the main gate looks like:

I stopped by the DragonsRidge site earlier today (1/12/06.) Here's what I can report:
1) The entry to the property, as its exact location was explained to me by someone who is close to the project...
Here's some information... I have driven by the DragonsRidge property in the last 30 days and there's still exactly nothing to see there.
I have heard rumors from very credible sources that they...
Sorry sorry sorry! How about some in-car from Shenandoah to get things back on topic:

Discuss. :icon_cool
Jon
It's all fun regardless, but NASA's known for big lots and fast courses so we're trying to maintain that theme. ;)
I'm checking out a tip this afternoon, supposedly some huge lot near the...
Thanks Chris! It's unfortunate but it happens, and I'll be back next season (probably in a late E36 of some flavor.)
As for autox sites around Richmond... click here:

Yes, that was my car and it did happen at Shenandoah with NASA in June. Fifth lap of the first instructor session on Saturday. Mechanical failure... went to turn and the bitch went straight. ...
Integra in-car from last November:
