DeanG Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I signed up for LOG 28 early last week www.indylotus.com/log28.swf look under the "Application" heading for the registration frorm. It looks to be another great event. I have signed up for the auto-x which should be a quite the experience and am expecting to post the Slowest Time Of Day. I am particularly looking forward to: * Visiting friends * Seeing the cars * Auto-x without having work the course * Driving around the Indi track * Showing off our Seven * Driving the street with a bunch of race cars on the way from the staging concourse to the Indi track. I don't think it will be as much fun as driving the old Watkins Glen course but it will be close. * The Indy museum The hotel rooms are filling up fast. Please consider attending LOG 28 and bringing your Se7en. My wife and I are hooked after our first LOG, LOG XII back in 1992. javascript:insertsmiley(':jonautox: ','/aspnetForum/images/emoticons/boxologist.gif') Dean G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breezy7 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 If anyone is interested there will be a LOG kickoff BBQ on July 31http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f200/log-28-bbq-57207/. How many USA7 members are planning on attending the LOG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanG Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 The timing is touch and go for us although we intend to be there in time. I've never quite made any of the informal pre-LOG gatherings but I've heard they are a lot of fun and laid back. Soon after the frenzy starts: trying to attend all the tech sessions, preparing for the car show, auto-X, track, touring, meeting up with friends, looking at cars, trying to find parts, trinkets and bargains at the auto-jumble...

DeanG Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hazel Chappman will be attendance at LOG 28! She was at the birth of the 7, I think she was working in the kitchen while the origionl plans were being drawn. More than anyone she can be considered the mother of the 7 having pushed the idea that a replacment for the VI was needed. She was at the birth of the 7, I think she was working in the kitchen while the origionl plans were being drawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breezy7 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Been quiet on the LOG front, am wondering how many 7s might be attending. Myself and one other Caterham are heading over on Thursday(Aug 31) afternoon and plan to be at the pre LOG cookout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rohaley Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 We will not be able to attend the Kick-off Cookout (my wife couldn't get out of work on Thursday) but we will be in town Friday morning with ours. See you there. Is anyone else out there going to attend the track day? And is there anything we should know about the track layout (tricky corners, what to-do or not-to-do)? Can't wait!

sparecr Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I will be at the event Thurs-Sunday. Might even try to make the kick-off cook out. The Alambama Lotus Car Club will be caravanning up on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbanker Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Been quiet on the LOG front, am wondering how many 7s might be attending. Myself and one other Caterham are heading over on Thursday(Aug 31) afternoon and plan to be at the pre LOG cookout. I think we are going to have a reasonable showing of Se7ens according to the registration updates that I have been getting. Do try to make the Cookout at Mark Scotts, near the Airport. We will be doing tech for track day and auto-x there as well. Mark has several surprise guest stopping by his shop and should be lots of fun. Sorry that I have not been checking the forum site for the last few days....Been pretty busy around here in Indy. Looking forward to meet all the Se7en folks.

Al N. Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Wot, no update on LOG? How many Se7ens showed? Any old folks, new folks, borrowed or blue folks? Those not in attendance are curious.... -A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparecr Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Well okay, give me a chance to sleep. I mean I had to drive a certian Lotus indivdual back to Birmingham Monday also. I never really counted the sevens but an excellent showing would guess 10-15. 5-6 Lotus, 2 Stalkers, at least 2 WCMs, a few Birkins, a bunch of Caterhams including a CSR. Mark Scott's Super Stalker was great (pictures in members rides) and at somepoint he may talk about his autocross adventure. Really can talk for hours. I know there are some pics on Tony V's site www.lotusowners.com I have a few I may post (or hold for the next newsletter). Many USA7ners were there and I tried to chat with as many as possible. It was also mentioned that LOG 29 will be in Birmingham, AL May 28-June 1. It possibly will include a nationally sanctioned vintage race, driver schools, skid pad exercises, choice of 3-4 drives, autoX, large all makes car show......

jbanker Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Just counted the registration list and came up with at least 24 Se7ens at LOG 28 this year. Phil and Patty Anderson with their '99 yellow Cat Bill and Cheryl Baldwin with their '61 green S2 The Bankers with the yellow/ally '03 Stalker Norm Beaver and Sally with their '79 green Cat Kate Blizzard with her '61 Super 7 Steve and Wanda Brinkerhoff with their '06 Ultralite XR7 Keith and Janet Brown with their '66 yellow/green Super 7 Gary David with his '62 Seven Frank and Pat Fenoglio with their '06 titanium silver Cat Mike and Barb Gatton (Breezy7) with their green/ally '06 Cat Steve & Jeanne Fichter with their '79 Cat Dean and Claudia Giacopassi with their all ally '58 S1 John Gault with his '61 pepper white 7 Alfred Kitch with his '62 black/ally '62 Seven Mark McGowan and family with their '61 silver/green 7 Tony and Melissa with their '99 purple Birkin Steve Montgomery with his '98 Cat Mike and Jennifer Rohaley with their '01 Cat Mark Scott and family with their '08 orange SuperStalker Paul and Jan Snyder with their '06 Red Ultalite S2K Craig and Cynthia Straub with their '66 Silver/white Cat Jack and Deanna Trip with their '63 Seven Rich and Lisa Englehart with his '04 black Cat John Vivianni with his green S2 All in all this was a great event with nearly 200 cars in attendance at LOG 28. As you can see, there were a good number of non-Lotus an Non-Caterhams that were in attendance. Everyone had a great time and LOG 29 should be lots of fun next year. Our own John V will have a big hand in that event. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparecr Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Thanks Jack, but I know you were busy, My car was wearing its Bugatti Blue clothes for this outing. It is having the green suit cleaned right now. I really need to start driving at these things and get less involved in the business marketing stuff. 1400 miles round trip to Carlisle drove 1 mile. 1200 miles round trip to Indy drove 2.6 miles....(guess where 2.5 of those were) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breezy7 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Photos from the lap around the Speedway are on www.jwwphotos.com. Click on the car clubs tab. There are several pictures of all the cars as they crossed the yard of bricks, around 1300 total pictures so it takes a while if you are looking just for 7's. Pictures from the autocross and track day will be posted on the site also. I think the Lotus 7 that we saw at Walker Racing on Friday was the nicest of the event but he has pretty good help working on his car, much better then the guy who works on mine.

DeanG Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Ah, the joy of owning a first class race shop. The car is like a period hot rod. Very clean and nice work, good design... The BBQ was fun with lots to see (Lotus Indy car, Se7en, super hot Mustang, replica Ferrari). The kids making root beer floats were a gas. They did a good job too. The Walker racing tour was amazing. Walking around the shop asking questions of the mechanics was encouraged. The speedway is a top notch facility. The yellow shirts were out in force and very helpful. The museum is interesting. I missed the guided tour of the museum. Can anyone tell me about it? The only problem with the speaker at lunch was that he didn’t have time to tell all his stories. I would have loved to get an extra lap or two on the oval, preferably at a bit faster pace but we filled the track! The banquette food was good and plentiful. Listening to the race mechanics talk about their experiences was fascinating. The presentation on the new Lotus cars kept my full attention. I need to scrape up some money so I can get a convertible Evora! The auto-x was fun with a good course at a good venue. There were even some off camber turns. The Putnam track looked like great fun. From my vantage point most everyone ran heads up and aware. There wasn’t any significant damage to anything or anyone that I heard of. Only the drive home sucked. John V. you definitely need to drive more. Remember: All work and no play will make John a dull boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
