    We'll be there in the slightly lightened 944. We're only signed up for the SARRC, but may also enter one ECR race.

    i don't have a german car with a blocking plate either. my honda and i, along with my co drivers, will be there for the ecr's and possibly the test day. the weather should be pleasant, maybe not as nice as this weekend though (upper 70's, low '80's).

    I can't wait. I haven't strapped on a race car since DNFing at the ARRC. I can't wait.

    No rain. Please.
    I'm requesting sunny and 65 degrees Steve. See what you can do.

    Scott, who will be bolting 100lbs of lead and a spare tire in a CRX Friday night and really doesn't care. I'm just dying to race.

    Don't worry Marshall, we have a very special anchor--I mean spare tire we would let you carry for us!! Sorry you can't make it, you ran good the last race there. I changed so much this winter It will be like a new car to learn.

    Ditto Steve,

    .... I'm about 150lb lighter and have a fresh mill under the hood. With a new set of shoes she should be fast. I'm going up for test day ( breaking in the motor boring). So, if anyone could use some help....... look me up. I usually park up by the false grid to the left.

    Oh do I wished my car (BMW, BMW, BMW) was together. I hope anyone and everyone in range of VIR brings their BMW&#39;s Without the SIR< SIR< SIR. So Steve could see these Emblems (BMW) in front of him. maybe for the last time. hehe To all BMW owners, make sure you look Steve up and park all around him.

    Steve are you doing the MARRS in May?

    I saw a BMW emblem all day today--on the hood of my 323 convertible. I felt like a traitor but the sun sure felt good!! I plan to see the emblem in the mirror at VIR. An yes I will be there in May, so look me up.

    Hmmmm let me see Pocono or VIR, what&#39;s a guy to do? It&#39;s 64 here in PA today if you can believe it, that&#39;s a heat wave. I&#39;ll see what the weather&#39;s like & what the SIR does.

    Your street car is a BMW?? What not a RX7 ?

    Hey Steve, Harry and I are coming up for Thursday test day and running both ECRs. Looking forward to seeing how the tubby CRX does at VIR w/ the changes this winter. Will be camping in the trailer so I am hoping for warmer weather than Goblins Go.

    Who&#39;s bringing the TV so we can catch some NCAA opening round action?

    I&#39;ll be there and camping in the paddock, but, racing a SM. The JH motor is still out and the 260Z rear is not in, so SM for me. Looks like my rookie IT debut will be at CMP in April.

    I&#39;ll have a TV though, I wonder if it&#39;ll be on a local channel? I&#39;ll look around before coming.

    To defeat your enemy--first you must understand them!! The wife gets the bimmer and I have a few twin turbo rx&#39;s. We have had quite a few bmw&#39;s over the years. Come on down to VIR, I will even let you park next to us so I can see the logo.

    Steve,

    .... I hope your right. I feel like I did a total rebuild on the car. The only thing I didn&#39;t take apart was the Rear differential.
    .... Last season really used up the car. But this will be the best it has been since 2001.

    .... I can&#39;t wait..... Looking forward to seeing you, might even sneak a draft ......

    .... Rick

    .... PS: If anyone that lives close to Naples, Florida is going? PLEASE let me know

    Not happy about it, but going to have to miss it guys. In Texas for a bachelor party/wedding. Funny, older you get the less you want to do that stuff.

    In any event, Rick, looks like a good ITA field. Show&#39;em what the 7 can do.
