FUN RUN to the SUMMIT POINT SPRING FESTIVAL

DoNDoN · 05-05-2009, 08:43 PM

This looks like fun. Anyone want to go to this? This is being organized by the crazy guy in the lotus who went on the Philly Run.

pseto · 05-05-2009, 08:48 PM

looks like fun, but i'll be in hot ass Florida

that dude with the Lotus is nutz though

bubbletea 4 me · 05-06-2009, 12:24 PM

i might be down for it if the weather aint shitty. sounds like a fun time.

Ben335 · 05-06-2009, 12:47 PM

I might be willing to do a ride along if anyone wants a rider. My Car is here

and I pick it up this afternoon, but to take it on something like this before break in is asking for trouble.

How does that work, if Spring Drive was any indication of speed, then I will be just passing you guys as you are leaving and I am just getting there.

DoNDoN · 05-06-2009, 01:04 PM

Well the track run is low speed runs on the track. Come on Ben. You know you want to get through break in ASAP.

Just talked to my CA, I won't be able to pick up this afternoon after all. It seems because of the buy back there is a bunch of legal paperwork that needs to be done and it won't be ready in time.

I am not worried about the track run, it is the getting up there and keeping up with you all that worries me

bubbletea 4 me · 05-06-2009, 01:15 PM

so why is it called a spring festival if nothing is going on.. i thought there is some activities going on thats why we get to do a trakc run. oh well, either way, i'm sure the drive there is fun.

They are buying the 335 convertible that I was driving on the spring drive. Issues galore. Car is actually in the shop since last Tuesday with all kinds of CELs and Limp Modes. I threw 4 on the spring drive and 2 more each day on Monday and Tuesday.

Sounds great.

More info:

This family event sponsored by Summit Point Raceway will feature activities for everyone, including pony rides for the littlest cruisers, as well as many automotive activities and demonstrations for visitors of all ages. The entire facility will be on display, except the shooting ranges. Food concessions will be available throughout the day.

On-track parade laps on both the Shenandoah Circuit and Main Circuit: Times for those will be forthcoming. Summit Point will charge an entry fee of $5 per cruise-in car, which will include the scheduled laps, with a slight additional charge ($15 per car) for the lunchtime parade laps.

i think i spelled his name wrong too....my bad.

as you can see, he refused to take a pic with his car (unlike Jim) b/c he doesnt want to be accused by the dealership of why his car has 400hp

ScottinSSMD · 05-06-2009, 03:22 PM

There is some racing going on. A friend of mine is going up for a DE session for the day. It's also FATT on Saturday for this special occassion.

no worries Paul, i just saw it yesterday and i was like.. uh, i think that's me and my car but that's not my name lol. its all good, my last name all sound alike anyways.

btw, did i send you that pic or you took it somewhere? i can't remember that picture at all

**disclaimer: that 400hp claim is strictly my imagination. there is no power mods whatsoever on my car so BMW and its dealerships can not use it against me w/ my imaginary mods and power claims, which was only stated to gain acceptance among my peers and fellow bimmer enthusiasts.
