Croc

In that case, probably PIR on the northwestern side of Pittsburgh

He is not really a forum type of guy but he stated he wants to bring his 'new' seven to the Sevens HPDE event July 1/2, assuming Gary from Straight Roads can get it here in time.

Its when it drives away or gets loaded on the truck that it really sinks in. This is why I rarely sell cars - I find it hard to give them up.

Sorry to see it leave your hands Skip but I know it is going to a good enthusiast home on the east coast. The new owner was pretty excited when I chatted with him. Hope you stay around on this forum - you are a huge asset to the community.

Pit Set Up Location Attached to this email are 2 maps. The first illustrates the layout of the NJMP complex, its two tracks, karting facility, Pit Suites for overnight accommodation, General Store and Finish Line Pub. The second map shows the Lightning circuit and marks out where the USA7s group has been allocated pit space to set up and congregate. In prior years we have also tended to set up at the rear of the paved pits where the grass starts. All are acceptable. The NJMP facility has 24 hour gated and patrolled security and is a secure place to leave your trailers and cars overnight. As you enter NJMP you will be required to stop at the main gate to show identification. Please let the security workers know that you are participating in the Drivers Club Event at Lightning. After the security check you will want to turn RIGHT to go past the clubhouse and on to the Lightning Circuit pits. It is a long drive around the outside of the Lightning Circuit until you see the bridge into the center of the circuit. Tom and I will be there setting up from early afternoon should anyone arrive early. If people are interested we can organize a casual karting event at 3.30pm area. After the karting you can clean up and then congregate at the NJMP Club House pool area where a full bar service and appetizers/dinner will be available for your purchase. We encourage you to bring a folding chair or other seating for your time in the pits as there is no fixed or movable seating provided by the track. Welcome Pool Party BBQ (July 1) Given most people will be arriving the night before and setting up their trailers or otherwise prepping their cars, we will have an informal pool party BBQ at the NJMP Club House. A comprehensive menu and drinks will be available for purchase at the event. If you will be arriving late then there are a number of fast food and other full service chain restaurants in Millville. Catering - Breakfast and Lunch on HPDE Days (July 1 and 2) Hot breakfast and dining room lunches are included in your driver and guest fees paid at sign on. Breakfast will be held at the Lightning Pit Building where the classroom and pit garage are located. Lunch will be held at the Clubhouse – Breighton Room a short drive from the pits. Snacks and refreshments (water, energy drink, soda) are complimentary throughout the day and are located in the refrigerators/ice tubs at the pit garage or the pit classroom. Dinner at Don Fauerbach’s Residence – July 1, 2016 This is an annual Drivers Club Event to which Sevens event participants attending this HPDE event have received an invitation. Held on Don’s lawn overlooking the river, it is a casual summer event with a good menu and drinks, catered by one of the leading Chefs in Millville. Refreshments provided include beer, a basic assortment of wine and spirits, soda and water. It is BYO wine/spirits. In addition to socializing with other Sevens drivers, you will have the chance to meet and chat with other Drivers Club members and spouses who share a similar interest to you in performance and exotic cars. This event is located approximately 20 minutes drive from NJMP. We plan to car pool from various locations (NJMP Pit Suites, Fairfield Inn, etc) and will arrange that during the day. Dress code for this event is tidy nice summer casual – collared short sleeve shirt, nice Hawaiian shirts and shorts or long pants for gents. Ladies are usually dressed nice summer casual. It is outside on a lawn so high heel shoes are not advisable unless ladies like being rescued. Dinner at the Finish Line Pub – July 2, 2016 We have booked the Breighton Room at the NJMP Finish Line Pub for our final night. The menu is a la carte ranging from salads to burgers/sandwiches to salmon and prime rib and desert offerings. It is designed that you pay for what you want to order for food and drinks. You will need to pay for your food and drinks at the completion of dinner. Driving Format As we are participating in a NJMP Drivers Club event, we follow their specific rules of operations for tech inspection of cars and safety gear. We also follow their practices for on track behavior. We will have a Sevens session defined in the attached timetable for the day. Passing will be by invitation only. That is a passing car will need to receive a point by by the car being passed. No point by then no passing. It is courteous for drivers to monitor their rear vision mirrors and let cars past promptly. Passing zones are defined at the straights, i.e. between: · between turns 1 and 2, · between turns 4 and 5 (if you are quick), · between turns 5 and 7 · between turns 7 to 9 (i.e. up to the entry into the bowl · turns 9 (bowl exit) to turn 1 (i.e. along the main straight) Passing in the turns is not acceptable. No passing in the braking zones. Given sevens have such remarkable cornering and braking skills it is unlikely that passing cars should be held up for any length of time if drivers of slower cars monitor their mirrors and point by promptly. These rules are intended for your safety and if followed should prevent car to car contact. In the past we have no traffic issues or people being held up on track. I put that down to good drivers participating and our remarkble little cars. A track guide is available on USA7s if you are attending for the first time. Accommodation There are a range of lodging options at all budgets in Millville and nearby Vineland. There are also Pit Suites on the NJMP site. We encourage you to book early as Millville is a popular spot for people to stay when visiting the Jersey Shore in summer. Camping is available at NJMP by permit along with power hookups for RV with a fee. See the NJMP website for details: http://www.njmp.com/facility-rentals-and-amenities/ Contact NJMP can be reached at (856) 327-8000. After hours the main switchboard may not be answered. In this event you should call the Main Gate security office on (856) 327-7255.

While the signposts on Rt55 to NJMP will say you should use exit 27 we do not recommend this option because of the difficulty you will have navigating the tight right turn in downtown Millville. If you are staying at the Fairfield Inn (next to Exit 27) and trailering then we would also recommend returning to Rt 55 to head south to Exit 24. Event Requirements Driver’s License: All Drivers must have a valid Driver’s License and be at least 18 years of age to participate. You will be asked to present your Driver’s License at the track. If you have not run at this event previously then prior to registering you will need to email your driving experience for running in an intermediate or above skill level HPDE to either Tom or Mike. This will be shared with NJMP track management prior to the event. Please bring and be prepared to show any race license you have obtained in order to verify your experience. Helmet Requirement: A Snell M or SA rated full-faced helmet dated 2010 [note change from 2016 event] or newer is required for all drivers and passengers on the track. Open face helmets are not permitted in open cars like sevens. Arm restraints: NJMP requires open top cars to be driven on track with drivers and passengers both wearing arm restraints and full faced helmets. Attire: NJ State Law requires all participants on the track to wear long pants and closed toed shoes. No one in shorts will be permitted to enter the race track or pit lane. Tech: A tech inspection is required for each car prior to accessing the race course. An NJMP official will tech your car the morning of the first HPDE day of the event, but please view the tech form prior to then in order to be sure your car is adequately prepared. Open Top Cars: Must have approved rollover protection. Pop up roll bars or detachable hard tops are not accepted by NJ State Law. Speed Limits: Speed limit in the paddock is 5 mph. Speed limit on access roads is 25 mph. Do not test vehicles or bed brakes on infield roads. For non-racing events, the pit lane speed limit is 20 mph. Participants, including Drivers Club Members and their guests, are responsible for any damage to NJMP property including on track and off track. This includes damage to Armco and tire wall barriers should you hit them (please don’t!) or for the white powder to soak up oil and coolant spills on track. Noise: Un-Muffled engines must not be run before 8:30 a.m. or after 6:00 p.m. NJMP strives hard to keep good relations with the local community and we should support their initiatives by complying. Fuel: For the convenience of customers, New Jersey Motorsports Park houses fuel stations at both the Thunderbolt and Lightning Raceways. On most track days the fuel stations are open from 8:30am to 3:30pm. The fuel station at Thunderbolt Raceway offers octanes of 93 & 100 (unleaded) and 110 & 112 (leaded), while the station at Lightning Raceway offers 93 & 100 (unleaded) and 110 (leaded). The fuel stations are permitted to fill containers in proper five gallon red fuel cans only, per New Jersey State Law. Larger fuel containers of 10 gallons or more (any color) are permitted to be used as long as they are marked appropriately (stickers or writing on container that reads “FUEL”). General Store: The NJMP facility has a convenient General Store open during days. It sells refreshments (including beer), ice, driving equipment (helmets, boots, driving suits), oils, some tools, safety gear and other related items. It is located on the ground floor of the Officers Club in the pit area of the Thunderbolt track. Trailer Drops: Trailer drops are typically allowed from 7-10 pm the night before. However, there are occasions when this is not possible due to events taking place at the facility. At this stage there are no events scheduled at Lightning the day of our arrival but we will alert you should that change. Please keep in mind that NJMP Drivers Club Member Days are not a racing event but rather a Driver Education day. You will learn how to handle and control your vehicle at high speeds as well as explore the capabilities as a driver and those of your vehicle. At no time will you be pushed or encouraged to go any faster than is comfortable for you. All participants are organized into run groups based on experience, skill, and type of vehicle. Non-driving Visitors: Non-driving visitors are required to be registered by NJMP. There is space on the registration pages for this. You will note that the fee has gone up from prior year after 9 years of being held flat. The fee for non-driving visitors covers all refreshments during the day and at meals, hot cooked breakfast and a high quality dining room lunch at the Clubhouse. It also provides privileges to accompany NJMP accredited/approved instructors in sevens as a passenger. Passengers are required to have paid the daily visitor fee and comply with the safety requirements of drivers – helmet, arm restraints, and clothing/shoes. A limited number of helmets/arm restraints will be available to borrow should you not have one. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a354/mjohnson555/seats/CSR/2016%20Sevens%20Event%20at%20NJMP/WSPS-NJMPDC-070216-0032_10_zpsw9j1ssxq.jpg

Apologies Bruce but I am in London that week. If the schedule changes I would likely join you.

Are you sure you are the only one doing engine mods? :leaving: Be careful with the a24 compound - I chewed through 2 left tires to the belts in 1 day at Lightning.

My money is on Todd if he can make the event...

By the way the plug is not a single component - there is male/female housings plus the two insert inners, and the electrical male/female plugs so your part number is likely the housing excluding the electrical. I guess you shorted one of the wires in the female side (figures...women...always a hissy fit!). You dont need to replace the housing or inner. Just the insert metal plug/relay elements or the wires leading in. A good auto electrician should be able to do this in his sleep. These guys do the wholesale of all the components that make up that plug https://www.connectorpeople.com/library/sealed_connectors/Tyco_AMP_Sealed_Connectors_65481.pdf Checking parts availability shows out of stock but you could call them http://www.connectorpeople.com Mouser also looks like they have them and sell in single units http://www.mouser.com/TE-Connectivity/Automotive-Connectors/Econoseal/_/N-1yzs6iiZ1ehb5Z1yilwca?No=125 Its used on a UK Ford Focus from what I recall so a Ford dealer could in theory have a cross reference part number since they sold them here. But dealer parts people these days are not the brightest. Rock Auto might be another source since they are pretty good with cross referenced part numbers Lastly the manufacturer is US based. AMP can be reached on 1-800-522-6752 My suggestion is start with Mouser.

Yes - the CMC in the ad is a Champion Motorcar Co. roller. 9-10 years ago fits with my vague recollection of 2007. I was not thinking about the FiberFab debacle....thats a whole other can of worms

Weight is before engine and gearbox, seat, tail shaft, harnesses, fluids, etc. so once you add that in then we are back to the regular expected weight. It definitely looks like a CMC from the photos. No idea how many they made but they seem to pop up with frequency as you note. When did CMC go out of business?

Its a buyers market - plenty of cars for sale - right at the beginning of the season In Canada http://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-Lotus-Super-Seven-/112389387443?hash=item1a2aedf4b3:g:LMkAAOSwONBZBN8H&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/1964-Lotus-Super-Seven-see-listing-/112381974198?hash=item1a2a7cd6b6:g:ICUAAOSwWWxY~P-p&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/1999-Westfield-Lotus-Super-7-Series-3-/162461518074?hash=item25d37608fa:g:gmYAAOSwc-tY5l~5&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Lotus-Super-Seven-/272651517727?hash=item3f7b4bff1f:g:aCMAAOSw42dZBadp&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/1960-Lotus-Super-Seven-Rare-Series-1-/152525907234?hash=item238340a522:g:iP0AAOSwtZJZANSv&vxp=mtr https://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/cto/6087338165.html https://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/cto/6083066741.html https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/6075727857.html https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/6094428897.html https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/6061541346.html http://bringatrailer.com/listing/2005-lotus-super-7/ http://bringatrailer.com/listing/2010-whartonlotuslocost-super-7/ https://harrisburg.craigslist.org/cto/6076473886.html http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=12579&stc=1 https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/6107020484.html https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/6062113442.html A crossflow Westfield for $16k?

Spending more on tires is a wise safety choice. Even so I think I am safe in recommending since She of The Purse Strings is on the other side of the continent from me right now.

LOL on the Crocs I would definitely give them a try. I like the ZZR but they are not the greatest in the wet. I street and track them. Yes they wear out quickly if you use them hard but we are driving performance cars so it seems appropriate. So the ZZS would appear to be a nice compromise as their wet grip is much better and it still is a performance tire. They are also lighter weight than many comparable tires. Roger Krause is usually my tire sounding board and they are a fan of the Avons on sevens.

The Hudson river valley (NY) has a number of sleepy river towns (e.g Rhinebeck, Hudson) and stately mansions (e.g. Olana) that are worth inspecting. The Roosevelt family estate and Presidential Library in Hyde Park NY are worth seeing. If you stop in at Beacon NY you can check our Karl's (Blubarisax on here) craft bourbon distillery (he makes other spirits and I personally like his gin best) Harley Davidson do factory tours in York PA. Lancaster PA has a strong Amish community around it. The market in Lancaster is just lethal to your waistline with Amish baked goods.

Have you thought about wooden clogs? Very stylish. Can be painted nice bright primary colors. Very visible as you ease your way glacially around the autocross course. :troll: I am a fan of the Avon ZZR in 13 inch wheel sizes. But they maybe too fast for you?

Some people will say it is not rock but Chris Rea owns a 620R...

While the seller is enthusiastic and the seven looks great, I would not want to buy it and import it to the US while arguing it is over 25 years old and import restriction free since it says 1986 Toyota Corolla on some piece of paper when some doofus customs chick at the border will know it is anything but when she does her visual inspection. It would fail every US car import process I have been through and I have done a few. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1986-Lotus-SUPER-7-REPLICA-TOYOTA-AE86-GTS-POWER-/292083143749?hash=item4401831445:g:DrwAAOSwSypY924I&vxp=mtr&autorefresh=true http://www.ebay.com/itm/1999-Westfield-Lotus-Super-7-Series-3-/162461518074?hash=item25d37608fa:g:gmYAAOSwc-tY5l~5&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/1978-Lotus-Super-Seven-/201895451478?hash=item2f01e81b56:g:vg0AAOSwuLZYzw1S&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Lotus-Super-Seven-/272642122115?hash=item3f7abca183:g:b-cAAOSwWWxY~Gpl&vxp=mtr Said by the seller who has only 1 feedback.

Lesson: engage brain before typing. While the owner is exceptional he is not for sale. Sorry Skip

Another exceptional car and owner for sale. I recall my CSR shake down visit to CO in 2012 and going on a group drive in the canyons with Skip. He disappears into the outer reaches of the universe at warp speed and I am left pussyfooting along at a modest limit on an unfamiliar road. It is breathtakingly quick and beautifully engineered - the workmanship is obvious on close inspection. This is one remarkable seven up for grabs.

OMG! :willy_nilly: Jerry - you are selling out? You are one of the originals - you can't leave!

I just responded to your PM but the answer is yes a standard broker would likely have vehicle import experience with regular vehicles. No reason why you need a high end valuable historic vehicle import guy. All my invoices are buried in boxes thanks to a home renovation so cannot check the numerous various fees to give you an estimate but you really need to get the estimate from the broker you plan to use in the port you are shipping to. Dont forget there is an import tax on that value of the car too.
