anyone up for a Pocono blat in October? Columbus day weekend? sunday 7th or 14th? i'd like to put in the miles before the leaves start to fall on the road slick it up. perhaps meet up by Tobyhanna Mil. reservation? i can se north on 423, south on 191, north on 447, north 390. west 4004 west 434. South on 97 to port jervis?

Randy, when u finish that FFR with the newer drivetrain, please report back here. I have a coworker who was considering a FFR build(before becoming a father for the 2nd time) and last year we saw that theyw ere planning to get the last gen mustang mechanicals to work. I'd love to know how successful they were. and how the frame holds up to a real horse power.

looks like saturday was the day to be present. ihave a bunch of pics to resize. a bunch of the Cossies. Dave, thanks for following me and my friend leaving LRP and down US7 for a while. edit: as for a long weekend meet, i have not really found Ct cops to be forgiving as what we expeirenced at TotD. from what i've seen the area is not really geared for us, unless Bruce and some other locals say otherwise.

then i would like to apologize to Kevin.:bigears:

c'mon Tom, share details not even pics:cry:

ok, this guy can't be for real. who logged in with a new screenname to stir the pot? Kevin is that you? stop acting like a tool.

nope. i checked.

congrats. glad u got it well optioned. i will caution u about using the perspex deflectors. they may scratch the paint on the scuttle. i will go back to using mine when i have my half doors fitted. secondly, on ur new purchase, get as much of it "clear bra"'d as u can. 3M and Laminex make thin films that will protect ur paint. since going to sticky tyres, the rock chips on my sides have increased by several orders of magnitude. call around to ur local detail and tint places.

yes, i was there despite not being found. nice show, though for all intents and purposed LRP staff on Sunday in the Park are knobs.

So i'll be the one w/o the Caterham this event.

email from the codriver: Jon, Thanks a bunch for letting me co-drive! Attached is a photo of a slot car set I've got for my kids to play with. I don't let them play with these two cars because they are too fragile. Still a big kid, Rich http://inlinethumb57.webshots.com/11768/2725615330099946657S600x600Q85.jpg he did take first event results

toss in a royals game and an AutoX or track event and u got something happening. County is not dry i hope:jester:

i'll have to see the undercar portion of the RWIB to see how that works. can't really see how it would function from teh picture i linked.

would it be cheaper to pick it up from Mid-Atlantic caterham? Customs will have a field day.

picked it up today. also nestled in the back on page 155 is a blurb about the southeastern 7s gathering from a couple of months ago.

1. ya don't drive ur car enough! 2. a season of AutoX is cheaper than ur new wheels.

Both CAterham rollbars ae pitched forward. the FIA bar more so. One reason it is far far down on my list of mods is because my half hood(s) will no longer fit correctly. That will have a huge consideration on what actually happens. The standard bar has shown itself to be durable enough if a 7 landed wrongside up. I can not stress my opinion of starting ur mod process and not actually be prepared for what the changes are. and yes, i will be bringing this up in conversation on sunday. practice ur glazed eyes expressions:crazy: :ack: the FIA bar is required competitive motorsports and by the MOST stringent tech inspectors. What i do like about the more common FIA bars is that they are taller. and that is VERY important with driver who are taller than you and I. for instance Spencer going passenger earlier in the year http://www.steguisfoto.com/albums/Motorsports/NYR-Autox-5-13-2007/IMG_9484_Fixed.jpg if teh bar was taller and canted so that the JJ half hoods still fit, it would b a no brainer. I'd prefer teh double diagonal as there "may" be flexing and distotion upon impact (flip). of course the load would have been so great that u'd be dead anyway. I do like the idea of teh petty strut going into the passenger if not going with a cage of some sorts. and for Homologation teh FIA bar will need to have a hole for tech inspection showing its piping thickness. as for the picture i grabbed while surfing blatchat showing the Rear Wing Intrusion Bar and Side Impact Bars, that would be sort of what I would find worthwhile on a non track only car. i beleive that are bolt on units, i'm not sure so if anyone knows, please confirm or correct this hepfully the PNW attendees will be able to add their track input and previous setups once they get home and get caught up. I would want the SIB to possibly be a bit higher, possibly meeting the top of the FIA bar so tehre is better cockpit protection in a flip/rollover. the RWIB i beleive is mostly for cone protection. for all my goals, i should probably actually talk to a cage builder about what could be fabbed, and what could be bolted in.

http://www.alcester-racing-sevens.com/HD_SIB_Aero_Side_Labelled.JPG i'll post some more thoughts when i get into work and some more coffee to get me thru today.

god mocks me. i'm changing my name for the 7 to Snake Bit:cry: the local Borders had three copies. I picked one up and the GRM with keith. awesome pic. i look like a tank next to the 7, not overweight slob.

so keith, the Atom is like a lighter, poorly setup mkI MR2 SC?:lol: and to think, a local AutoXer here just sold a mkI that was setup well for $2k.

dave sent Al and myself issues. i'm going to go out tommorow and check, maybe buy a bunch and upstage a cousin's weddng on saturday. ya know, Box type stuff;)

:party: :party: :party: :grouphug: :party: :party: :party: David T. Adolphus and Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car puts out a story on the 7-7-07 trip! Titled One Caterham, Too Many Miles its an excellent recap. Folis, your pciture made the print, congratulations! I'm speechless. Al was nice enough to let me break the news, but i will let him wax se7evangelic. Its sorta day in the life for me.:reddevil: thnaks again david! no scooter for u!

Tenative event pending event workers and entrants. originally planned event on the 30th has been scrapped due to teh track's prior commitment. I may be in for saturday pending the situation at work.

another event on a sunday. who will beat Box in his own car. yes, i'm praying that Mark Daddio joins in the festivities:bs: :hurray:

the tour is looking more and more impressive. :cheers:
