Hello Lisa
What time are you going to head out to the track? I live on the west side of kalamazoo and can show you how to get out there if you would like. I am a stay-at- home dad (fancy name for a house husband) and if you need any help around town let me know.
Kalamazoo is about 45-50 min from the track. I'm thinking of heading out about 1pm just to take a look at the other club.

There is construction on I94 starting at exit 66 westbound one lane. I dont know where it start coming from the east bound.

Joe
if anyone else needs any help call and I will do my best.

all is well, we survived some heavy rain friday evening, saturday went well, barely a few drops fell, and held off til the end of the day....we got lucky! hoping it will head out tonight, and a nice day (well ok, we'll settle for cloudy but no rain) :thumbsup:

How many race cars showed up?

About 60 cars plus instructors so around 75 total with about 10 racers! Having a really good time with a dry track and cloudy day. We had some rain but no torrential downpours till after 5:00 p.m. My phone got water in it so I couldn't call you back John! I'm hoping it will be dried out by tomorrow.

We had 14 cars registered for the car show even with the rain! I thought that was pretty good but I'll be requesting our normal track week for next year even if they have the NASA Nationals on the same weekend. They really did not affect our event at all! :thumbsup:

Bummer I didnt have the CF card in the camera for race#2. Shooting photos... realized no film! Would have had awesome photos of the start...

Had a great time opentracking with SCMC club. Weather was drizzly/rainy all weekend, but track dried up enough to salvage a decent weekend.
Had a worn tire showing threads on left rear (looped it coming outta 3), so I put tire on right-rear (looped it again in #6). DOH! Never left the track, just pointed backwards, and got to watch ScottW laugh/waive as he went by. :o

Pitted right next door to Darkhorse Racing, with the "old school boys" from SAAC-MotorCityRegion (1986, 1989, 1990, 1991 Mustangs). Sleeping in the truck (cheap b*stard) got a wee bit chilly saturday night as it went into the 40's 'F with rain.

Favorite quote of weekend was Cindy commenting about Cliff's driving:
Cliff, you were going really fast... right up until the point where everyone else turned!!!:D Cliff went off DEEEEP into the sand on #3. Probably got that on video too, as I was right behind him. Have to digitize that too, so I can share... :p

Cliff, thanks for the hospitality and the Kentucky Moonshine, all 3 mason jars worth!

cool! thanks for sharing....did you get any photos on the weekend? or were they all on the empty card? :rotf:

It was so wonderful to see everyone! both friends that I have already met, and new friends as well!!

It is way too difficult to say how much everyone here ( and not here, I guess) means to me! this was a very bittersweet week for me and I absolutley loved every single second of it!!- despite the uncomfortable couch!! :rolleyes: ;)

It was one that I will always remember! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :bounce: :bounce: and very little that I would change!

A top notch event!
Much Thanks to Brian who pulled off a terrific weekend!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
