Sweet! Look forward to seeing ya there. Looks like Barber is up in the air...SCCA got charged out the a$$ for the regional this year in damage fees and now they are thinking about not having a race there in '05...SO, I might exchange that race for Summit Point, Beaverun and/or Roebling. I know some of you guys have done stuff at these tracks...if you could go to 1 or 2 of them for a race, which one(s) would you go to and why?

As for BJ...would be great, but I know he'll be busy...but maybe we can talk him into prepin' his Z for T2 next year??

Happy New Year to All!

I see you're planning on running a lot with NASA.....not nearly enough track time for my $.

I've only found a couple events so far in the mid-west:

April 30 & May 1 at Road America with Windy City BMW
May 16 at Blackhawk with Lotus Corps

BUT, there WILL be many more!!!!

A few of us flat-landers are planning on going to Watkins Glen though.

I don't remember ACNA??????
Greetings Bruce, any idea how i can find out more about the 2 events you mentioned? My hands are getting itchy Thanks!

4/16 & 17 SAT & SUN ROAD AMERICA SPEEDSEEKERS
WARNING - Everyone who is planning to attend Speedseekers this year at RoadAmerica !!!

There is currently a legal dispute between the three partners who 'own' Speedseekers. This dispute has frozen assets needed to reserve the track for the two (Spring and Fall) events that they have each year at RoadAmerica. Unfortunately this means the event is now in limbo.

We are all hoping it will be settled and that we can still have the great fun and times we have each year at RoadAmerica, but if these guys don't settle their differences soon - RoadAmerica may well be forced to give their weekends to someone else who can put up the security deposit and meet other particulars.

Just a word of warning - those of you planning to run should check on the Speedseekers site for updates in the forums section.

I'll be at NASA the weekend before for the 3-day HPDE. Hope to catch some of you Z and G guys there.

- Riff

Thanks for the heads up on Speedseekers! I found the dates a while ago, and Zippycar had trouble accessing their web site. Too bad, but I'm sure another club will fill the dates.

Not registered yet....registration hasn't opened yet. As to the Lotus Corp event....I had to bounce around their site a bit, to get to their event page, and it hasn't been listed yet. BUT, the event organizer is a friend, and he has assured me that the date is firm. I'll keep all informed of specifics.

It's good to be in Cali.

I hit Buttonwillow last week with RacerFactory.com.

Will be attending their day at Willow Springs Big Track in two weeks.

Gotta love year round tracking:

My initial list:
2/12 - 2/13 VIR Full w/ Triangle Z Club / THSCC
2/18 - 2/20 VIR Full w/ NASA
3/5 - 3/6 SP w/ CarGuys ??
3/19 - 3/20 Road Atlanta w/ NASA
4/2 - 4/4 Mid-Ohio w/ NASA
4/25 - 4/26 VIR Full w/ ACNA
5/30 - 5/31 Mid-Ohio w/ TracQuest
7/29 - 7/31 VIR North w/ NASA
9/24 - 9/25 SP w/ NASA
10/15 - 10/16 SP w/ NASA
11/19 - 11/20 VIR Full w/ ACNA
11/26 - 11/27 Barber w/ TracQuest

Of course there will be adjustments as the year progresses... but I hope to hit Road Atlanta and Barber for the first time in 2005.

Anybody else developed a game plan yet? I'd like to see who else is planning on attending the same events...
Hi John. Wow, great list. I only have 3 planned so far. I'll see you at both the April and November ACNA VIR's. I'm also doing the ACNA school at BeaveRun July 15-16. Nice little track. I haven't decided on a 4th event yet.
Regards

Yea, I'm finally on it. Check out the first prototype pics and info...

BTW, this class 1 design will not interfere with Any exhaust system, so on worries with your true-duel (injen was it??)
