Hey, s-driver, which part of the car are you not selling on NAM?

The motor and the shell!

Veggi, Eddie,
Great lunch. Limited chat on track but lots of great conversation nevertheless. Have a great track season this year and next. You sure you guys don't want to do Laguna Seca with skippy next season in the advanced race school on the their racing mx5 platform. |
That sounds very tempting...
|
Almost forgot to mention, congrats grandpa Eddie.

I've been there three times as a spectator so far and I can't wait to drive that place. Fortunately I've been able to get a couple rides out there to experience it at speed tho...

Right now I could be convinced to go to VIR.
Slinger...if I go you won't have to be the slowest MINI out there. :roll: |
Sorry No VIR for me next year.

Haaaa Haaaa

S-driver, GKP, veggi, Eddie, how is the storm influencing you guys?
|
We were fortunate here in the Berkshires to elude the brunt of Sandy's wrath. They weren't so lucky down in NYC. Finished off the season at Lime Rock this past Saturday. Car felt very balanced and smooth. There were a couple of other MINIs there to keep me company. S-Driver set up his Go-Pro in my car, so he should be posting some video soon.

I think VIR might be covered in snow from the storm (it was that big). I wonder how TrackDaze will make out with their early Nov day there.
Upstate NY had a little rain and some wind. Really not much at all, especially where I live. |

Well, end of day two without power here in Newtown. This town is 5th in CT ranking of total customers without power - currently at 81%. But I am running my generator and am the only person in the complex with electricity.....so I have heat, cold fridge, hot water, and cable. No power to the second floor so no PC - working off my phone.
VV - can't get to that video upload just yet. :) Boy tho..... New Jersey really got hit hard. |
We are at 70% with no power today.
If I was around, I would be at your place enjoying the comforts of electricity. I am sure you have lots of new friends you never knew. |
Greetings, all. Power just back up on Saturday in my neck of the woods. We lost a few trees, but the house and, more important, the garage is fine.
FYI -- I did the SCDA autocross/skidpad clinic a few weeks ago and it was a heap of fun. It was raining so cars were skidding every which way, but it was a terrific way to get a feel for how the MINI behaves on the other side of "the limit." Better to find out at 40MPH than at 100MPH. Had oversteer working on the skidpad. Who knew it was possible in a FWD? Was in second gear all day and probably learned more than I would at a typical track day. |
All times are GMT -7. The time now is 12:33 PM. |
