We won't be getting there until race time. Our race at RA gets over at 8pm Saturday so we won't get to Newton until about 3-4pm Sunday. Just in time to get some drinks and then watch a "race". Won't seem to good after an ALMS race

OK, I did some research and in depth reading.

Nurburgring is God's Race Track
Road America is God's back yard (hence the term God's Country)
Daytona International Speedway (the oval) belongs to hell (Satan's Race Track)

Yes, yes I do.

I will have my laptop tomorrow. I will snag them from you then and I can upload later.

RuSport · 08-06-2008, 10:12 PM

Word. Don't forget to bring a folding chair and the tickets.

WERND · 08-07-2008, 10:12 AM

Hope we can fit the grill in the trunk also. 4 bags, 4 helmets, 1 giant cooler, 4 seats, and a grill are gonna make it tight. Gonna be awesome sitting at turn 5 watching the race for 4 hours and grilling though.

WERND · 08-11-2008, 09:04 PM

Weekend was awesome! Made friends with the guys at Tafel racing, picked up some CF bits, and had alot of fun grilling trackside. In fact we had so much fun at RA, we didn't wanna ruin the weekend by going to Iowa Speedway, LOL

Looks good, thanks for taking and hosting

RuSport · 08-20-2008, 03:12 PM

Yo Prez, do you happen to still have my walkie talkie from the last open track day? I can only find one and I remember that is the last time I used them. If not...them oh well.

WERND · 08-21-2008, 09:12 PM

Yep I have it in my glove box. I am holding it ransom.

WERND · 08-26-2008, 09:42 PM

I would really like to drive that track in Valencia, very nice street circuit

I am working on getting it tuned to your left leg right as we speak!

WERND · 09-01-2008, 04:22 PM

take the car in for rear brakes tuesday, means I have to change the rims so they can't scratch the breytons. Wish I would have thought about that before it got hot out. Looking into doing an LSD so I don't go through pads as quick and the car handles better.

MR MONEYBAGS! Maybe you should have just gotten the M3 and saved some cash in the end. I know I think about that all the time. It only took me 5 1/2 years and 16,000 track miles to seriously consider buying the LSD.

WERND · 09-03-2008, 05:10 PM

I did think that I should have gotten an M3 but the lease is TERRIBLE! In the long run it would have been cheaper though, but I was putting too much money into the new garage, lol

WERND · 09-05-2008, 08:19 PM

Race my place again 6:30

WERND · 09-06-2008, 04:37 PM

all F1 races are on Sundays goofball. You wanna come over and just leave from here for the AutoX?

Is that the dollar I shall win?

RuSport · 09-07-2008, 08:28 AM

Dear Prez,

Are you still doing the 2030 Rally? Also do you know where the final checkpoint / party is going to be?

Your friend,
