Default Roebling on 16 November?

Who else is going to Roebling on 16 Nov with Seat-Time? There is some openings for instructors with Seat-Time.

I am pretty sure the Chin event following (17-18 Nov) it is sold out...due to other potential commitments I did not commit until they were full up

I was hoping to test my FRC Friday - but unless the dealer has a new MAP sensor (my gasket is shot) I cannot install the intake yet. It is always something at the last moment. All I have left to do is bleed the clutch, add coolant, install coilpacks and the dang intake - then it is ready to fire off (finally).

No wonder you won't be at VIR 11/17-11/19. Have fun at RRR. I might make it to that track eventually. Hope to see you guys again soon. And like Z06Cool said....

I think the ZO6 is fully operational on Monday...do not have much brakes left but I am sure I have enough to whoop up on Tim...

I hauled the CRX to the Weber carb guy...

Will haul the Chevelle SS to the electrical guy...will need a tow truck or winch trailer to make that happen...

I am whittlin it down - that work thing is inconvenient...

I think 505 hp and runflats will be plenty to get the job done over your outdated c5!

we will have to see...all I have to do is have enough distance exiting T8 to keep you at bay...( a few blockers may need to be employed....)

I figure since Chin is there for the weekend there will be a few Miata's to serve as a rolling chicane (assuming Khoi is not going to be there...)

Yup, and you can use Miata's for free...as long as the placement is right

The problem is that you will already have been passed before T8! But in the unlikely case that you are ahead, better have a BIG lead!

I'm sure you're referring to the sonic wave I produce blowing by them at 160mph (or 257km/hr if you sneak in and mess with my DIC again), thus clearing the way for you and then Tim to pass you easily once the chicane is removed. That has got to be what you're referring to...

I rarely touch someone else's DIC - yours was a special emergency case ...honest...but I always check mine when someone else plays with it...

I am sure I could use your 514 rwhp when Tim gets antsy...

Really though I was counting on the flaggers to confuse you guys with blue flags as I am coming up (or been recently passed - whichever works out) ...

Jeff, you really need to stop letting work interfere with your extra curricular activities!

I had my annual review today - I feel like it was done by "the Dread Pirate Roberts"...so maybe one day I can concentrate on my core business....but until then I have bills to pay and kids to torment...

Get notified of new replies

I will be there... leaving Thursday night and staying at the ramada at 95/80. A caravan may not work as I have to pick up my guest driver on the way!

The DE group will have your C4 and mine with a guest driver. Also at least one C6 Z06 in that group.
