Thanks very much!!
Anyone been to Summit Point yet? What's the going rate for race gas? Just trying to decide whether to bring or buy. Thanks.
when I was looking (last summer), I did the best payback analysis I could, using the current prices at that time. The payback on the Diesel was basically never going to occur, between the $10K...
bought a 2000 V10 Excursion last summer for $7800. Pulls the 28' box with 2 cars no problem. POS in the winter, though. Can't get it out of the driveway. But that's not why we bought it. It's going...
I hope you mean $3.50, not $4.50!!
I also have a spot in a 2-car enclosed trailer headed out to the Glen from Eastern MA. I'd be willing to take a small car (~13' max) out, to help cover my gas costs. I'll leave on Friday after work...
photoshop.
thanks, Dick. (and all others who answered tangential questions) Now I just have to figure out how to get there. Double-booked on that day, now.
I seem to recall a date being announced in Pit Talk, but that issue seems to have left the premises. I can't find anything on NER.org. Will there be only one this year, and when will it be?

LRP = Let's Raise Prices.
No comparison, other than the track surfaces. I like LRP and Watkins Glen way better than NHIS, but Bridgehampton was a completely different ballgame.
The only current track layout that is...
Are they gone?
On second thought, maybe that's what the new volunteers will be doing.
Usually VRG is 73 and older only. However, this one event (Turkey Bowl) is actually a co-sponsored event with Joe Blacker, who has a "modern" race group which included some Miatas, some Prod cars, a...
Already 2 SMs here, running in Group 6 - "modern cars".
"The driver is required to follow the pavement or marked course during a competition, and shall not gain an advantage from an off-course excursion."
Yeah...and for anyone who has been at the Glen...
"I think you should change your screen name to "Retna-burning yellow Alfa"... "
I used to forget where I parked my car in the paddock. No more! You should try it.
Statistically, yellow cars...
sure...didn't mean to hide under any sort of anonymity. I forgot that I registered under "alfa" rather than my name. In case anyone is wondering, my name is Mike Lawton.
I don't think I ever said (or wrote) that you shouldn't pass me anywhere you choose. That's what racing is all about. All I'm saying is don't post video and say "Point-bys and mirror usage is a good...
I hope you don't mind one of the subjects of your videos having a voice....I'm the driver of the yellow Alfa.
1. Greg, I saw you there behind me going into the bowl. I debated giving you a...
60 hours is a long time!
In all of this, there is a theme that there are increased costs to LRP to run a race over an HPDE.
I can understand higher insurance costs, but are there other additional costs? Does a race...
Geez, now the Nelson's Ledges paving schedule is starting to make sense!
So what's that trailer go for, wally?
thanks, I understand now.
So what's this "MVMA book"? Can I assume that the owner's manual I have for the car will have the correct figures?
Does "110% of stock size" mean 110% of the tank capacity - including reserve - or...
