Gingerman Raceway - South Haven, MI - Open track event - Page 5

winddysvt · 08-15-2003, 10:00 AM

I'm not sure if they will be done by Flash by then....
I'd hate to get it back and then take it directly on the track....

although Tim is going to drive it with Kenny and the guys down at Indy before we bring it back......

The incident itself had allot to do with our hood -- the Cervini's hood that still does not have the ram air effect -- I was feeling uneasy about the car for quite awhile -- but I couldn't quite pinpoint exactly what it was -- Tim felt the uneasiness in the car as well -- we blamed it on not having good enough tires..... what? the more I thought about that the more I realized that was bullcrap...... sorry... but I drove that car much harder last year at Gingerman and felt good in it!!!
Those tires were good then and they are good now --- I don't care what tires we would've had on it --

We were driving a hovercraft!

Ram air kit is still not available...

so

BYE BYE HOOD!!

one great big expensive mistake....... we were told that ram air kit would be ready by spring.... yeah right.... that was an accident waiting to happen -- so if anyone else has that same hood -- BE CAREFUL -- you can't go high speeds without the car becoming a "hovercraft"........

If we don't have Flash ready yet we will bring Miss T and Tom's SVT Contour --

OK people!

We need to get the registration forms rolling in.

==============

Dean --

I'll let you know what car or cars we will be bringing just before the event.

Do you need help?

Tim said he'd be glad to help with tech -- if you want us there early on Friday were there!

if by some miracle Tim's car is done by then, I am going to take it in beginning and take it very easy..... If the car's stability is back and I FEEL IT --- then if my instructor allows I will move up to intermediate. otherwise -- I'll be knitting in the trailer...

(NOT)

All the hotel info is in the updated event packet that can be downloaded off the SCMC home page. I don't have the info handy here at work.

If anyone has any trouble reserving rooms, please let me know. dean99@maplenet.net

Hey Dean
Just checked out the event packet and on page three it says the host hotel is the Hampton, while on page 12 it says the Lighthouse is the host hotel. Based on the previous post the Lighthouse is the right one??????

Oops, must not have found all the references to last years motel. It is the Lighthouse.

redsnake99 · 08-25-2003, 08:50 AM

I've already made reservations at the Hampton, also. But, I just switched to the Lighthouse Inn. Don't take it personally, Ken. Sounds like they still have room at Lighthouse.

**cobrabitn** · 08-25-2003, 09:14 AM

Wow Darius.... aren't we looking chipper in the morning?

**Cobra-R** · 08-26-2003, 09:16 AM
