Buckeye Trip to 411...Take 2 - Page 3

psycho43142 · 07-19-2006, 01:46 PM

I'm going to wait till this winter and do the Autopower full cage I think, with a few extra bars, a rear seat delete, subframe connectors, tourque arm/panhard bar, k member and A arms, Koni double adjustable coil overs and move from ESP to SM in SCCA events. Let's not forget Gingerman also.

Trust me, I have not forgot GIngerman. My first open track event...I am fricken counting the days!

I keep reading that everyone is heading south for 411, but can someone tell me where your going? thanks

mojosvt · 07-20-2006, 05:55 AM

Sorry, I guess I should have been more specific. THe 411 Raceway is located I believe in Alcoa, TN, just outside of knoxville. IT is a autocross course on a banked oval track. If you do some searches you can find all sorts of pictures and videos. It is a fricken blast. If you are not busy the weekend of August 27th, we would love for you to join our carvan south. You won't be sorry, I can promise you that. Hope to hear from you soon, Mike

so we will have a pretty good caravan heading south. Tony M might still be going, he will be a last minute call. Can't wait to run the 411 again, I might even be on some new r compound. Not usre if I can get another event out the the current hoosiers, cut one of them, not too bad, might mount it on the car, and drive around a little, make sure she still holds air. We will see! Can't wait to see you all soon, and a little note to Mike R....JUST DO IT!!! Mark P. just purchased a 4-point autopower roll bar, and hopefully will get it in prior to the 411...SO SHOULD YOU!!! Rick Mcnutt offered to help install the sat before the 411. Just something to think about.

Hey Mike! I hate to admit it but I haven't put the roll bar in yet, how long did it take you to put yours in?

C'ya.....Mark.

Hey Mark
You should plan on about 4-6 hours to install if you have not done it before. If you want to come down a day earlyy for the 411 event I would be glad to help you to it. I have installed several now so I have it pretty down pat and I have all the special tools needed and a lift!!

Looking forward to seeing the Buckeye crew at the next 411!!

That's a heckuva offer Hazman, I really appreciate it, I sent you a PM.....Mark.

What's the plan for Saturday night, are we all going to stay at one place. I'm really pumped about this trip.

Chris

mojosvt · 07-26-2006, 08:54 PM

Yeah, not sure yet, but we are going to have quite a few cars, and passangers, we will have to figure something out!

coreseller · 07-27-2006, 10:17 PM

Hey guys, do you want me to have the wifey scout out hotels for Saturday night? She use to be a travel agent. Hazman offered to help with installing my roll bar so I'll be bringing that down, will I need to buy some padding for this event? I'm going to get it eventually but I wasn't sure if it was required, thanks again in advance for the install help Hazman, C'ya there.....Mark.

Hazman · 07-27-2006, 10:35 PM

Padding is not required on this type of rollbar in most cases. Padding is needed where you or your helmet could hit the bar in an accident.

As for accomodations try the Country Inn and Suites at Knoxville West on Campbell Station Road. It is new. It is on my route to 411 so we could caravan togather to the track and it is clsoe to lots of good restaurants and shopping.

Also it is about 25 minutes from my place so it is close enough that you can head back over once the rollbar is in or the rest of the gang can come hang out at my place while we do the installl.

mojosvt · 07-28-2006, 05:56 AM

Sounds like a winner to me, get to play with cars on sat, and run them hard on sunday. Those hotels sound great, they are close enough, that if we wanted to make our own cruise-in that night, we wouldn't have to go that far

coreseller · 07-28-2006, 09:28 AM

Sounds Great. Ann is going to check out the rates there today, She may be able to get a group rate, I'll post it up along with the hotel's phone # later....Mark.

mojo dad · 07-28-2006, 04:15 PM

Thanks Mark for putting Ann to work. Sounds great to be altogether.

Ok guys, the Country Inn and Suites on Campbell Station Rd. gets $99 to $119 per room per night (std. room or suites), a $10 discount ($89 to$109) can be had if you reserve and prepay it online, AAA or Military, the discount rate in not cancellable. Last year we stayed at the Country Inn in Alcoa, TN, their discount rate is $79 this year. I am going to opt for the Campbell Station Road since it is more convenient for Hazman and he's doing me quite the favor. Let me know what you think.....Mark.
