scannon Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Please put some names with the faces we are seeing in the pictures whenever possible. That bare ali Lotus 11 almost stopped my heart when it came up on the screen. The red one is damn sharp as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Guys, thanks for the pics... definitely miss being there this time around Looks like an amazing place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flibbie Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 My son Jeffrey and I arrived from Fl. in my Stalker Thur. AM. Drove about 650 miles Wed. Spent Wed nite in Troy,Ala. (so. of Montgomery). Thur put the Stalker on a dyno for 3 pulls for $100. First pull was to ck a/f mixture. That looked good. 2nd pull showed spark plug gap too big. Reset plugs and pulled 240 at the rear wheels. I'm happy with that. Today went to Taladega race track for 4 laps. Great fun. Smoked a few Elises, only got up to 125 tho with a pace vehicle controlling our speed. My son is taking the pictures this trip. So, I won't be able to post any until after we get home. Really surprised there aren't more LSiS's here. I'm guessing over 100 Lotus and less than 10 LSiS.

MHKflyer52 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Wow is all I can say. Looks like the tour was outstanding from just the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solder_guy Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I did some finishing on the Rotus yesterday (Friday) morning and got on the road early afternoon on my way to Bir'. Rotus held the road pretty well .. although I-20 is not that great of a trek! Nice to see several sevens as I arrived at Barber. First familiar face was Al saying Hi. I got there just in time for the underground tour hosted by John. Then on to the Quality Inn where the British guys and girls hosted a pizza beer social time. Great first night for me!

yellowss7 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 A couple of pics from today. Mr. and Mrs. Breezy, and John Vivani piloting that beautiful Lotus 11 around the Museum Turn during the lunch break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Another great day here in Birmingham. We had an official club meeting, where, among other business, the farthest traveled award was given to Drew and Janet R. -- over 1100 miles from Minnesota. They received a publisher's edition copy of Lotus Sevens & Independents. Some pix attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al N. Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 The folks who attended the official USA7s meeting today (there were probably at least a dozen more Se7eners here this weekend who did not make the meeting). From left: Standing-Ken J., Jeff D., Jim D., Rob M. (7/7/7 alum), Mrs. T, Taber (Mr. T), Christine N., Scott N. (Founding member, and 7/7/7 alum), Janet R., Drew R., Mrs. K, Paul K. (PK Surveyor...his and hers Caterham family). Kneeling-John V., Al N., Tom G. Since John literally has the keys to the place, we had our meeting in a relatively empty (and relatively cool!) warehouse. We thought it was ironic to pose in front of the largest vehicle we could find as a contrast to the cars we all love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I also have tons of motorcycle pix from the museum, but thought I would focus on cars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solder_guy Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Getting ready for the breakfast run over to 29 Dreams Motorcycle Retreat east of Bir'. I'm having a blast meeting new people .. not just 7s folk .. but all car owners at Sportscars in the Park .. The Barber alone is worth the visit .. museum .. grounds and track! John has gone out of his way to make everyone welcome. Thanks John! (and his girlfriend too!) I'm having a blast! Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Any word on how Seven's fared at the LOG Auto-X? Ditto today's trackday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Tom G would know about both, I'm sure. He was scheduled for both. I think the trackday was more of a HPDE thing, but I could be wrong. On Saturday, there was a Series 4 lapping well in one of the run groups...and someone said there was a Birkin there too, though I didn't see it.

Kitcat Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I know BBall was signed up and I was hoping he had upheld the honor of all of us other Crossflow owners:)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flibbie Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 As we (my son Jeffrey and I) got pretty sunburnt on our trip up to LOG on Wed. we decided to leave Sun eve and drive thru the night. We left around 5:30 PM and arrived home at 11:00 AM. Total trip, up and back, was 1832 miles, averaged 27.2 mpg. We had a great time. Met many really nice people. New to me was the fact that the Barber complex is owned by a Mr. George Barber. An ex-dairy farmer/owner. I always thought the complex was associated with Skip Barber.

yellowss7 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I bailed out on the Autox on Sunday. We woke up early, and went out to change tires and put the Slicks on and after that, removing the petty strut, and setting up the camera, tire pressures, etc. I WAS EXHAUSTED! So, I figured that there was no sense in beating my self into the ground in the heat. I can autox anywhere, and The trackday was what I wanted to do. I think I made a Good move. I talked to another guy who Auotxed and skipped the trackday because he was beat. I think Steve was the only Caterham that autoxed, so he represented and won his class. Driver ed on the track was a hoot. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snettleship Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Just got back from LOG/USA7s meeting. It was great to see the Sevens there. I brought my Elite instead of the Seven since it is mostly a track day car now (not as good for 2 people since the passenger seat is out and replaced by an Accusump). Here are a few pix...
