Andy,
As you once told me, "Just stop at a tag sale on the way home and pick one up!".

Big trash talker now that you're not in the same run group!!

Andy-

Wish we were running but one of the cars is still buried in the snow banks (yes we have huge snow banks still) and the one we used for ice racing this year is still, suffering from another electrical fire We are not planning on running this season at home, but I am sure we will make it to at least one event... Where are all the other ITB cars though??? I am trying to figure out whom to place my bets on!!!

Since my SM is a 1.8, I will be in your group at a couple races doing some tire testing! We should be converting the white 1.6 to ITA at the end of the year.

I just hope to make it - car is at the shop being diagnosed from VIR. Costellos car is now ready for the bodyshop and should be good to go for LRP.

How're the Autotechnic guys - will you make it in the new E46? Keen to see how you guys and the restricted E36 run against the Mazdas. Any bimmer guys do some testing yet -feedback?

Andy - we know it just kills you not running with ITS

Cheers,

Hey Ben,

We are hoping to have the cars together for the upcoming April race in New Hampshire. A few parts arn't here yet so we will wait and see. See you at the track!

Has there been any talk from the tech crew about Saturday techs? I wasn't able to attend the event at Shine's, and I'm running in group 1 on Sunday, so if I can get an annual done Saturday that would be great.

I'll even provide some libation for the tech crew if that will help

Thanks for the shout out Andy although I'm not yet convinced that I'm one to watch out for...

Ben, hope you can make it to NHIS. I'm really looking forward to some close racin' with you...and possibly Rob and Co. if those new cars are ready. Still a little work to do though. I just put the skis away last weekend.

Looks like a strong ITS group...Let's get in on!!!

What is the typical ITB car count at NHIS? I'm surprised there are still only three registered.

Dave,
I think there is usually 10-12. I'm sure a few more will sign up late. Why don't you make the trip!! I'm heading up early Sat AM if you want to hook up.

I've been trying to save up for the LPR price increase. I'm planning on making one NHIS trip this year (to race) but would rather wait till it gets a bit warmer out. I also have a few things I still need to finish on the car and have been too lazy lately. I am considering making the trip up there to watch everyone having fun.

I've got a Spec Miata available for rent for the 2-day school at NHIS, if you know anyone interested. Not available for the race. - GA

[benspeed]

Tim - we'll have to see if we can give our bimmer friends a run for it! Car is languishing in the shop still. Why is it these guys don't understand that to be a good race shop you need to get the car done on time to get to the track????

I hope you can make it Ben. I'm still working on some loose ends. I'm planning on testing at NHIS next Thursday with the Flatout guys. Nick has been helping me with some setup items.

Keep on those shop guys. Funny how people say the same thing about us general contractors!

What happened now to your car? And what did Johnny hit now?
