Default ECHC folk, who's going to race at Summit?!?!

After Todd made that comment in the other thread, I'm itchy again. Anyone planning on making the trip?

Jason-
who did not know that we had a place to race at Summit this time

Just remember the abscence of the 13/13 when making your decision Jason... though it's obvious that the bug bit you a couple different times...

I may be driving if a car deal that's looking good goes through tomorrow

'92 Civic DX
Red
Immaculate
85k miles
asking 3k

This sucker is at joe-bob's dealership, so I'm a little skeptical as to why it's such a great deal. Anyone have carfax? BTW - Is Stoiber on HT?

Jason,

I would be there but no tires!

Anyone have ITR wheels with race tires I could rent. I really don't want to spend 700 bucks ( new Hoosiers) for a weekend then let them sit for 5 months and get hard.

That Yack sold me a perfectly good car with worn out tires!
I should have measured the tread with the ol' penny check before I bought the thing!

John W
H1

I'll kinda/ almost be there, black 1987 Civic Si
Good Luck BENO!

I'd be there, but I don't think the engine will even be here by then, much less in the car and running for racing Nov 2/3. Oh well... you guys have a blast. And stay warm!

Damn. You'd be more than welcome to use a set of Millenia wheels (~13 lbs) for free, but I don't have tires on them

Jason-
who thinks it'd be awesome for John to try out the new beast before next year

I should be there with the new car, but it won't be race ready, only track ready. My plan is to instruct.....

I signed up for the Novice group a few weeks ago, but I think I'm going to upgrade to the Intermediate... I simply didn't have any room to push the car through the twisties as often as I wanted in the Novice class...

geez, matt!

don't do anything to the motor; just do the safety stuff. You have three weeks to get a front half of a cage installed, a window net, a kill switch, a seat, and belts.

all easily doable.

you can race if you get on it right away.

I should be out there. I wonder if Dennis Lentz will be showing up with his Grand Am prepped Type R. He has a fast lap of 1:24.9 during a race.

You are right about that, but my priority with this car is to do it right from the start. For the work I'm doing to the car, I don't want anybody but this guy to do it. I'll deal with missing a race or two this year to have it right. Besides, I like the idea of doing a couple of non-comp events with the car before I try for wheel to wheel. I need to know exactly how it is going to handle and brake....

Not ragging on you in particular, but since when does the STUDENT get to determine when they are moved up in the groups??? Is this a NASA thing? Yikes. (<-- again, not directed at you in particular)

I'm going to speak with my instructor... he was busy with other students and with the small bore race, so I wasn't able to chat with him before I left.
