Date for 2009 I.T.SPEC*tacular set

[Weasel Keeper]

Thanks for the info!

I tried to get a signature with my name and car but I guess it didn't take. I doubt anyone knows me because 2008 was my rookie season. I did my school at Blackhawk Farms in April, ran an hour enduro at ORP (Indy Raceway Park) in July, ran a double regional at Nelson late July (rolled on Sunday...heh), and drove three 1.5 hour stints during the Longest Day At Nelson (24 hour race at Nelson Ledges Ohio) in August (finished 7th overall). I'm a mid pack driver so far, but still learning.

I drive my buddy's (Chad Murfin's) 95 ITA ACR Dodge Neon (he has two, and he usually drives the other). This Neon was part of the Neon Celebrity Challenge in the late 90s, then ran SSB for a few years, and is now an ITA car. It's crazy fun to drive, and usually fairly competitive (will be more competitive when I grow a couple. ).

I've worked a corner at Mid Ohio in 2007, and went to the ALMS/IRP race there in 07...I'd absolutely love to drive there...if for nothing else but the experience.

Chad was my instructor at my first driver's school at Gingerman (been a few years now).

Jay. Welcome to the maddness!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope to see you at Mid-Ohio next year. Ft. Wayne to Lexington does not seem like too bad a tow. No interstates - is that good or bad?

Saskatoon to Ohio is 1600 miles. Thats only 3 times farther than I normally have to tow.....

Hehe...you said "tow".

Chad and I still drive to the tracks and usually camp for the weekend. Both cars are so loaded there's just enough room for the driver. Lexington isn't too bad at all now. Ohio FINALLY has 30 four laned all the way to 71 from Ft Wayne. Not a bad 2.5 to 3 hour drive. Might be tough to do Road Atlanta though...heh.

Shwah, I think I remember the white VW. That was a fun weekend at BHF!

Marty, I think Chad may have mentioned you before. Your name seems familiar. He's been great giving me instruction, and I was even running right with him by the time we ran Nelson in late July...he was asking me what I was doing to get faster than him in a couple areas. He wasn't my instructor at the school though. He was my crew chief.

Hi Jay. We were there at BHF in April as well. I was in the white VW. There were some entertaining moments in that race. Glad to hear that it sounds like your first season was a success.
