sly1, ya we all go to the races at Newton. Not sure on exact plans as some of us will be going to Road America the same weekend for ALMS and then leaving from there Saturday night to be in Newton Sunday. Sometimes in Newton we get invited up to a luxury suite, so we don't sit in any "seats". Figure that weekend will be the same.

Prez, pics look good from the school. Going to have to set one as a background

Brian, we got

5 for the Friday event at MAM. (You, I, Ru, Justin, Dave so far. Justin is waiting on the bosses approval.)

Thanks for host the pics Prez.

When, where are we meeting on Friday? My buddy Zach from work is going to come along as a photographer.

No prob RuSport. Thanks for taking them, and your getter half.

I say we meet same spot as last time, BK/Kum&go off Jordan Creek. Time? 7 or 8 am?

If it is raining there whats the plans. I don't want to drive in the rain.

RuSport · 07-23-2008, 02:26 PM

Lets meet at 7am. If it is raining, I won't go. Fortunately, the forecast says no rain until the evening hours. If it does rain, then we go drink beer all day somewhere and watch old racing movies...hahah. Cross your fingers...

RA:
On a side note, how many people are confirmed going for ALMS at Road America? (Ru, WERND, Jamie and Prez?) I need to buy tix and book the room. Tix will be $75 for Friday and Saturday. Hotel will be $200 total for Thursday and Friday Night.

So 200 each or 50ish each for the hotel?

I'm in if it is 50ish each for the hotel. hahaha

I believe it is just us 4 then.

RuSport · 07-23-2008, 03:43 PM

$200 per pillow.....JK. It is $206 for both nights which means $50 per person. Also WERND mentioned renting a van. Plus add gas, food, souvienirs, tires, carbon fiber pieces and race seats.

Here is a little memory from last year. The Audi caught fire shortly after this picture was taken.

Prez · 07-23-2008, 04:20 PM

ahahahahaha Audi on fire, I do not believe it!

I'm in Ru.

WERND · 07-26-2008, 01:04 PM

Brake light is now on thanks to yesterday. Tons of fun, lots of cars, and good weather all made for a great day.

Thanks to Rusport, Zach, and you WERND. I had a great time. Cannot wait to do it again.

Me too! I left wanting more track time

So when we going again? when? when?

RuSport · 07-28-2008, 10:35 AM

'Zatch's' pics turned out pretty well. Here is a sneak preview, this shot looks like it was taken on the autobahn.

I am wondering this also. I may be out of cash and time, but I might be able to find a way to do something before O'Fest. I guess we will see how Putnam Park goes and if I need more development time in the car.

Prez · 07-29-2008, 09:32 PM

O wait... where are they....

WERND · 07-31-2008, 08:51 AM

car is rented for ALMS. Have a Charger from Thrifty but I guess Jamie might get his mom's 328. That would be nice, then I wouldn't have to drive. Still can't wait to go karting there

RuSport · 08-01-2008, 10:59 AM

Tix are purchased, rooms reserved for Thursday, Friday. Still need to get one for Saturday in Madison. Can't wait to go. Road America = God's Race Track

WERND · 08-01-2008, 12:36 PM

so what is the Ring, Satans?

Prez · 08-04-2008, 04:07 PM

Someone is slacking, I don't see photos yet.
