Hey guys,
Mike and I both received an invitation to go out with Ferrari of Washington to Summit Point the weekend of April 30th/May 1st to race on the new track, The Shenandoah. The invitation is open to any other drivers that want to attend, and spectators are always welcome. The pre-requisites for racing are that you wear a helmet and you provide proof that you've had your brake system flushed in the last 6 months. I'll find out how to register tomorrow and post it up here.

I don't know that I'll race, but I would like to go out and spectate. Anyone else interested in going out?

 

DAMMIT! I hate final exams. I still may go for one day and race if that is possible.

 

I'll only be able to make it that Saturday.. I'll prolly put my baby out on the track again.. if the've finished the grading You'll note the lack of helmet since these were taken during "happy laps" .. were you just familarize yourself with the track. Sorry for the HUGE size..

 

kelly, please tell me more

 

bump

I would like to know more...

 

mike,

i want more pics of the yellow honda civic thats about to lap you...

 

Ok....here's the deal on this event:

If you want to register to drive at the event, goto http://www.fwash.com/news/new-trwelc.html and follow the link for "Application (online)"

If you are interested in just going out to watch and enjoy the day and eat lunch with the Ferrari folks, fill out the same application, but leave all of the car/driver information blank, just fill out the part for "guest". It's $25 to for lunch. The gent I spoke with at Ferrari believes that the club-house will be open at the track and will be selling food as well if you want to go that route.

If you are interested in racing and need any more information about car prep, etc., you can call Redding Finney at 703.478.3606.

 

I may come out on Saturday to spectate. I don't own a helmet, nor have I flushed the brake system (maybe after TOD I will need to).

 

Hey Jess,
That's kind of what I was thinking as well. Won't be racing, but I'd love to go out and watch these guys mix it up on this brand new track. I'm sure they'll have all of the folks they need, but I'd volunteer for corner worker or other job, too if they needed me.

Mike, are you racing? If so, when are you headed out. Maybe we can make it a group drive to Summit!

 

I've never been to a track event before, so this will be a great way to get a feel of how everything operates. I'd like to get my car on the track sometime in the future. Hopefully I'll pick up a few tips and learn the basics. Besides, Mike will need some Z supporters on a track full of Ferraris and Maseratis.

 

sweeeeet -- and i just picked my car up from the shop after getting hawk hps pads, stoptech ss lines, and ate superblue put in!

i'll be up there that weekend for the navy birthday ball at any rate -- i'll have to check with my better half for track clearance

 

Application deadline is today guys, so if you plan on racing fill out that application right now. Kelly, are you shelling out the $25 for lunch? Can we just show up to the track without registering with FMoW?

 

Yep, I didn't realize that the deadline was yesterday, but the registrations is only required for racing or eating lunch. The track is open to all spectators who want to come. We can just eat at the club-house or whatever it's called.

 

Hahhahahaha,...

dick



I'll be there.. but I dont think that I'll be running this time either. I mostly want to see some expensive cars go fast

I dont think that they have finished the grading on the track.. so it is still a little treacherous. The new course is VERY green. This will be a great course once its finished though. I think we'll have a blast just hanging out with these guys.. there all pretty laid back,... they just have bigger budgets than us

 

So what time are we heading out?

 

I'll be leaving the house around 7 am... since it takes about an hour and 20 minutes to get there from where I live

 

Are you interested in meeting up to head out there, or are you flying solo?

 

7am...that means I have to leave my apartment at 6:20am .

 

well... we could meet up at chick file at 730 ish maybe?... Since my girl is coming more than likely well have to figure out the exact time. I'll have to ask her. I want to get there early, and if you guys are going to play.. you'll need to tech, which means, "be there early"

soooo.. while I RAMBLE.. lemme ask my woman what time she can be up and pretty looking on a sat. morning... then we'll set a time to meet.. and you guys can follow me up

 

that'll work! Lookin forward to it man!
