Ideas for CAMM events
Ideas for CAMM events
We'll get the calendar setup tonight, but what ideas do you have in mind?
I was asked by some Subaru and Miata friends to organize my annual 'PGT's Burger Rally™' again this year (last year was a hiatus as wifey was 8mos pregnant) which runs from the NoVA area down through the Shenandoah and back to the best burgers around for lunch. Any make/model will be welcome but we'll keep the group small or separate into A/B groups for better logistics.

Pirate event needed soon too - definition of a Pirate run (modeled after the Australian MINI Clubs) is to get a quick flat white (latte in the US) and a meat pie, do a good 45-60 min run on a favorite road and then depart ways.

How about a drive to Winchester to visit the PTG racing facility?
...although they are campaigning a Panoz Esperante GTLM in the ALMS now, the car collection would be a kick to see.
PTG occupies a modern 26,000 square-foot facility located just outside Winchester, Va. The company utilizes state of the art equipment for the design, construction and testing of race cars and automotive components, including computer-aided design and drafting. PTG also provides engine building, dyno testing and machining and fabrication for both automobile and airplane engines.

would they even host us? I have snaps from their paddock at Summit....a big German guy ran me out of there for taking pics even though we had a garage next to them. Got pics of the M3, the F1 GTR, the M1, 320it race car...the BMW Heritage tour during Hyperfest back in '05 I think.

e-mail and phone number are on the contact page...I know that the local chapters of BMWCCA have taken tours in the past.

It would be cool to take a tour of their shop.
When I lived in Winchester, I would drive by the shop every morning and see the car haulers in the lot. There would be a lot of activity on the some days and you knew they were off to play for the weekend.One thing I noticed is that there was always a nice Mini in the parking lot and it looked like it had a few
mods.
I'm digging this idea. Perhaps a meet and then short local drive somewhere? You guys have short hours on Sat right? Like 9-12?
