Believe me, you will think differently about the drag strip. It's like comparing skiing in Michigan to skiiing in Colorado. You're just starting to have fun then it's all over. In open tracking, the fun lasts 20 minutes.

Too much rain for me to run at VIR today. Better day coming Sunday. Jimmy Bost, Dave Phillips, Bryan Shugg also there.

Dave,
I really hope you get to come. I've lived up here my entire life and I've can never remember having snow in September. It's usually the time of year that has finally cooled down a little and a lot less humidity.

Late sept is a little early for snow or sleet in that area, although not impossible. When I used to live in Kalamazoo, it would usually wait until mid October before dropping the white stuff.

Well, I just received some information that will not allow me to make the SCMC Gingerman event on September 20th!

My absolute best friend's daughter is getting married on that day and there is no way possible I can miss that.

I also think it would be a stretch to think that I could make the event for Sunday only. It's a bummer and I was really looking forward to seeing everyone at this event and running on this track.

I do belong to another Group, Great Lakes Sport Car Club, that will be doing an event at Gingerman with the Midwest Council of the SCCA. But that is supposed to be an Auto Cross which I don't think would be quite as much fun as an open SCMC track event.

So, hopefully I can make one of the other SCMC events around the Midwest area.

You all have fun though and be safe there!

Last I heard, nobody could confirm for me that there was going to be a track event in conjunction with the 100th. It appears that it is the week of Father's Day which means I wouldn't be able to make it because on my annual pilgrimage to the infield of M.I.S. for the Nascar Winston Cup event on the 15th of June.

Is there a track event for sure? Is it at Gingerman? What is the date?

Thanks,

drudis · 03-10-2003, 10:47 AM

I contacted someone who first "suggested it"...
We'll wait for their reply.

Dean --

Do you have the link for the entry forms for Gingerman?

I emailed you a couple of times but your probably as busy if not busier than I am....

let me know, we need to ge them in....

drudis · 05-01-2003, 01:15 PM

The way I understand it
June 11 - 12, for the "advanced" and "experienced" drivers at GingerMan...

June 12 - 13, for the "novices" and an "introduction to performance driving" at Waterford Hills...

I havnt decided where I wanna help out with instructing, one of each or both at GingerMan...
Then bring the car to "work" the next day, and park it as a registered display vehicle for the 100th celebration (all dirty and dusty from opentracking)

tydlwavs · 05-02-2003, 03:50 AM

Due to the sale of the daily driver I should be there this year. Vrtical...can we link to this via MWF's?

I think you guys are mixing these threads. Please keep the subject on the Gingerman event in September on the 20-21, 2003 and post a new one for the Ford 100th's event. Thanks a bunch!
