Sunday October 30 - Milford NJ Drive

[The Stig]

Spent yesterday putting on new calipers! Rotors, bleeding etc ready for the weekend. At least had a short run to bed them in a bit. Maybe the last if this keeps up!

 

Still planning on the Lutus run next weekend if weather is any better though!

Text from Karl - one lap of Lime Rock then came straight in with heavy snow.

The german cars with their fancy wipers and roofs stayed out only a few laps longer. We got a replacement date in November. I need studded tires.

 

After a 90 mile deive with the trailer (top speeds of 20) we arrived home to no power and lots of down branches. At least I got to use the little honda generator I picked up at NJMP this summer. I even got to work in a little "I told you we'll need it" to the little woman.

If I didn't have family plans, I'd consider coming out for the AutoX Martin. Then fly back for work. I think GGPCA Alemeida has an event as well Saturday.

 

Westchester Sports Car Club has an autoX sunday, but I suspect that will be scrubbed as well. Maybe a snowX, but that lot is very tiny(course loops 3x).

 

Well you would of had a good time and you sure could have driven my car.

We had four sevens show up and twinpipe came down from south of the Bay area to play and several others showed up.

 

Lining up at the start with a Super Connie Marine in the background.

 

Twinpipe coming across the finish line (Ingmar) Best time in his run group with a 54.721 run over .73 of a mile (3786ft long centerline distance). he also had the second fastest time of the day. FTD was 54.020 and twinpipe (Ingmar) was having fuel starvation issues with his turbo charged Miata engine powered 7 otherwise he most likely would have had the FTD.

 

No snow in sight yesterday out here in Southern California. Temp was 84 degrees with a nice 4 to 7 kt breeze for the autocross.

 

Sorry for the poor quality photos but what do you expect from a phone.

Yea, April 1, 2012 LOL

 

 

Maybe we'll have to add a drive into the BCE meet. Which way do you drive to get to the meet? I could meet you on 611 somewhere, though I'm really just down Almshouse from the meet. If I can get out of the house early, maybe get in a short drive on the way to the meet. Can't think of any interesting roads though. Van Sant Airport is certainly too far north for us for the BCE meet.

Tinicum's a mess with bridges out and now snow storm issues. Keep an eye on the weather, maybe we'll find some time to do a run up there.

If you keep me up on when you guys are going to try and find Vansant Airport, I'll see if I can fly in and meet you guys there. It sounds like a really interesting airport.
