[gcassidy]

Here's kinda my wish list, but it's likely to change based on economics, and which events my friends are going to.

March 13-15 Road Atlanta NASA SE
April 25-26 Summit-Main NASA MA
May 2-3 Shenandoah SVTOA
August 15-16 Summit-Main NASA MA
October 9-11 VIR-Full NASA MA
I'd like to do a Thunderbolt-but haven't checked NASA NE 2009 Schedule yet.

 

[Ryan]

Greg you need to add in there one of the SCMC VIR Events!

 

[gcassidy]

Well, there's the MDA-VIR Grand East on June 12-24, the SCMC 10th Anniversary at VIR-May 29-31, and the SCMC VIR Full course August 20-21.
I'd like to do any of those

Plus there's Track Guys at Bluegrass on Sept 19 & 20 now. :shrug:

It may come down to how much money I have this year, and when I have it.
Between our company getting hit hard and my daughter's college, I can't predict anything anymore.

 

[dragon40k]

My list so far (none of it in stone) goes something like this.
March 28-29 VIR NASA MA(swappable with oct-10-11 VIR
May 2-3 Summit Shennendoah svtoa
Aug 22-23 summit main NASA MA

Ideally I get to throw another event in there somewhere. Perhaps NASA NE in NJMSP

 

[TroyV]

COM @ WGI in April
SP shen in May
COM @ Mont Tremblant in june

I'm probably going to do at least three of the COM NHMS event throughout the season.

Add to this our six Devens autocross dates, and the additional 8 by SCMC and Neshoc, and it is going to be a busy year for me.

...which reminds me... I need to order pads and rotors..

 

[PETSNKE]

My Tentative Midwest Schedule is:

June 6th 10/10ths Motorsports @ Putnam Park
July 18/19th SVTOA/Track Guys @ Gingerman
Aug. 7-9th Northwoods Shelby Club @ Road America
Sept 18-20th SCMC @ Gingerman
Oct. 2nd Northwoods Shelby Club @ Blackhawk Farms
Oct. 16th Octoberfast @ Autobahn Country Club Full Course:beer:

 

[wheelhopper]

Well, definites are

May 2-3 at Summit with SVTOA
May 29-31 at VIR with SCMC
Oct 10-11 at Summit Main with NASA

I will be doing an event before SVTOA, just not sure which one yet, and will also do one between the SCMC and NASA event. I'll see what my buddies are doing. My plan is to get in 6 OT events (minimum) this year.

Hector, there's also a friend of ours that travels with us Mustangers, though he has a BMW. He's also hitting the Feb NASA VIR. I mentioned you were going, and he said he knew you.
His name is Paul Newby. You might look him up when down there.

 

[BlackStripes]

I am so bad with names.. i am sure if i see him, i will remember, what kind of BMW he drives?. If he wants to travel with company give me a way to contact him. I usually go with my vette buddies (over the hill vette owners ) the more the merrier.

I signed in already, so i am there for sure.

[gcassidy]

Wow Kevin!
Got Pads?!

Hector, I'll see if I can get him in touch with you.

 

[brkntrxn]

Wow Kevin!
Got Pads?!

LOL, yep, the list looks pretty aggressive and there may be a date or two that I skip.

The XP10/XP8s on the car still have a weekend or so left in them (probably 3 weekends in the rears) and I have a set of XP12/XP10s sitting in the tool box. I am sure I will have to go through an additional set before the end of the year, but VIR is really pretty easy on brakes in comparison to some of the other tracks. Roebling is pretty easy on brakes as well. I have a spare set of slicks sitting in the garage as well.

On top of that, five of those events I am working grid and registration, so I typically only get about an hour of total track time each day for those events. When I only get two or three 15-20 minute stints in a day, I am usually pretty timid as you never get a chance to get into a rythm.

[Gonz]

I plan to attend the NASA events at Summit Point main track, at least.

Not sure if I'll venture down to VIR. It's a long drive and I've had some bad luck down there. (Of course I've had bad luck at Summit & Shenandoah also, but I'd rather get stuck 90 miles from home than 250 :shrug: )

See you guys out there.

That hillclimb is crazy! You almost bit the side of the hill at one point. I need lots of safe grassy runoff room for me be on track. ;-)

 

[David Hester]

Hillclimbs are for MANLY men..and women.:beer:
No room for error.
How our weekend ended up last Beech Mountain, NC Hillcllimb.

I think there are 3 in the SouthEast. We plan to be at the last one at Crow Mountain.
