McDougal Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Is there anyone in the Portland area who owns a 7 and would be willing to let me take a look at it and maybe take me for a ride? I'd buy you some coffee or beer, whichever you prefer. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slomove Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 There is Jim Fluckiger with a Caterham who lives in Grant's Pass. Maybe you can shoot him a Private Message (member name Jim F.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homebrew Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 It's your lucky day! I live in Portland (more like Rainland) and that is Oregon. I currently have my car set up for the track (no windshield, DOT/R tires, no headlights or front turn signals). Send me a PM maybe we can figure something out.

slomove Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hey Jim, sorry for mixing up names. I believe there is a Seven owner named (Jim?) Fluckiger somewhere. Obviously not Grant's Pass, though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDougal Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Thanks for the offer, Jim. I don't make it down that way very often but if I do I'll definitely contact you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndpace Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 homebrew, what kind of racing are you doing in the portland area (road racing, autocross, etc...)? who are you racing with in the portland area (SCCA, etc..) and what class? Did you build your car? Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homebrew Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I do track days, not actual wheel to wheel raicng. This year I've been at 2 Cascade Sports Car Club HPDE days at PIR and just got back from my 3rd track day with Team Continental at Oregon Raceway Park in Grass Valley. Both of those clubs are affiliated with ICSCC. I've only done one SCCA autox and didn't really care for it, just not enough speed and a lot more expensive if you work it out in minutes on course. Yes, I built my car from the ground up, no kit. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndpace Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Homebrew, do you have a build site? what part of town are you in? Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homebrew Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 No build site. My car has been on the road for 3+ yrs. I'm in SE, Mt Tabor area. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
