Barring unforseen incidents, I'll be there.

I'd like to get down there for the ARRC. I've got a new motor for my Z and would love to run it. But getting a kitchen pass might be rough. With the wonderful SE schedule we have about two months of racing crammed into four weeks:

*SIC
*VIR Goblins Go
*13 Hour at VIR
*ARRC

The last three are back to back weekends.

Mark... I won't be making the trip this year... Too much going on and I already know that I have to work that weekend. I'm planning to skip the SARRC points scene in 2010 and do some "destination races" instead. The ARRC will probably be one of them.

Does a ZX count? I am trying to see if I can make it. Would like to run. Don't know about the enduro though.

Reppert might be a little off his game... you know, with his 3 week old daughter and everything. :happy204: :smilie_pokal:

I plan to be down there. Keep me in the loop David. Charles I hope you bring the 280ZX. We need to get Greg to run the ITS 240Z too.

David let me know if you are running & can put me on your crew list. Thanks.

If anybody needs some help I think I am going to come over Sat. am to spectate and ?crew? and then camp out for Sundays fun. If you have open crew spots I would like to be added and just let me know you need some help.

Thanks,
Paul

Sounds like the typical May schedule up here.

Paul,

Mark,
bent my car pretty bad at the SIC. Gonna be out for a while until I get it fixed up again.

But got it running pretty good after a HARD hit. That was some impressive work.

If that ITS Miata doesn't show up next year, there is going to be a GREAT battle for the SARRC championship: E30 325, 280zx, 240z, 260z, RX7(s) and a TR8. Should be fun.

thanks Jeff, the work paid off. I just looked at the SARRC points and I finished 3rd, just beat out Steve P. I really thought I was 4th, so the news was a big surprise for me.
It in fact has got me juiced up to start working on the car.
And let's see what happens to the Miata next year, sorta out classed us all.

I did the math before we left the track! Even if we had tied you would have won the tie break. You had a great year! I'm just sad to see that you aren't going to make the ARRC. I guess it will be up to Spillman and Williams to get a Z up front. Good luck guys!

We need to get that Miata to a track with hills. Mike ran the North Course at VIR in it a few years back and we were all close to him time wise, and Spillman went a second faster (he has the track record). Those flat tracks like CMP, and Roebling and Palm Beach down your way, that's just easy pickens for an ITS Miata.

VIR and Road Atlanta, a different story I think.

Really looking forward to next year. Started off the season with a second place run to Eckerich at VIR, and even passed him and led for 3 laps.....it should be a lot of fun with you, Steve P., David, Jeff M., Harold, Ron, etc.

See you guys next spring.

Steve,
Can you please give me the name of the Z parts guy you mentioned to me at Roebling.
We can run with the Miata at Sebring, Homestead and Daytona but like you said Jeff, momentum tracks we are just spectators!
I will have a somewhat limited season next year, daughter is getting married, severly cuts into the ole racing budget.........

Are you talking about Sports Car Salvage? Tony Drum is a long time SCCA racer in H prod. Retired now with heart problems, no doubt caused by working on British cars for so many years. 800-222-1323

I will be driving down from Asheville Saturday morning so if anyone has problems and needs a parts mule let me know. Good luck guys.

Steve P, it was the guy you wanted me to call about the lower control arm, you said he had many z parts but could be expensive. I think he was in Charlotte area??
11-05-2009, 12:59 PM
Parrish57

Thats the one. He has the parts you need...

Charles, I look forward to seeing you back in action so I can look over your car. I have a slicktop 82 that I am considering building for ITS.

To echo Steve E's comment, I am headed to RA either late tomorrow or Saturday AM so if any of you guys need parts, etc. let me know and I will bring them along.
