blubarisax Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I'm using AutoTransport, the same company that brings in all the Caterhams to the US. It is coming by air freight. The CBU is big but quite light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 DaveD: I had shoulder impingement surgery abt 10 years ago: I was a one armed bandit for 1-2 months. Took way longer to regain function than I expected, but has been wonderful since then. Karl: Wh/was more $, the new frame or the air freight:)?

blubarisax Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Freight was nearly half the cost of the chassis. All to be with you guys in June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Given the heroic measures (cubic $'s) Karl and I are taking to get to this event again, people will need pretty good excuses for not being there:). It is less than 6 weeks off. Sabbot? MichaelD? Scott? Dermot? Who else? I understand BBall, and probably others, holding off to see if we reach critical mass so now is a good time to sign up.

Croc Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Sabbot (Stewart) is trying to clear a work conflct and a BDA conversion. My money is on him having the best sounding car other than possibly Dermot's Hayabusa screamer. Message sent to Dermot (Ottocycle) and in a moment MichaelD. Dont have contact details for Scott L - is he on this forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxologist Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 ScottL, iirc. Otherwise MichaelD should have his contact info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Nup...no one with that profile name. Just tried the other Scott's and they are not active for years. Calling MichaelD! :flag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottocycle Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Mike, I sent you a PM but I am not sure if it went through (it has not come up in my "sent messages" file. I have no contact info for Scott, Michael D probably does. I will attend NJMP in June. Does anyone want to share a room in the Marriot? Dermot.

bball7754 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Just submitted my registration. I encourage more Crossflow owners to join me. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Partay! Maybe I will buy my X-flow back, at least it ran:). Beware, everyone who attended last year's event w/an X-flow, is coming back w/more power. Tho as has been previously posted, many times, the X-flows were no slouches. And based on our one track event together, yours was certainly more peppy than mine. Looking forward to meeting up w/everyone. Hopefully, the rain gods will smile.

Hope you all can make it. 10+ on track will give us a strong presence on track and lots of video opportunities. I know that Croc alone has 2 or more cameras mounted. Alot of Sevens on the track is an impressive sight and a alot of fun. Edited May 23, 2012 by yellowss7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 As my repair saga drags on (and on and on) w/little/no progress I am examining other race car options. It looks like SCDA has Spec Miatas for rent. That is quickly becoming my plan B for the ever increasing chance that my worthless mechanic will be working on excuses rather than repairs over the next 4 weeks.

yellowss7 Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Mike, I believe, Entropy racing, which I think Karl used for his rental, have a SCCA spec Caterham in their inventory for rent. http://www.entropyracing.net/rentals A big Plus is that it's Yellow with Clams Too!

Kitcat Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Decisions, decisions. I'd love to rent the Caterham but @ $1,300 a day, $2,600 for 2 days it's pretty steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubarisax Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Their spec racers are less but still expensive. They are fun to drive though and I'll be in one on Monday at Lime Rock (getting back on the horse). I bet your VW would do well on the track! Just lock in the hubs and follow Croc! My car just might make it. The Chassis Body Unit is on a plane from England to Newark tomorrow with a crate of new parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I'll ck w/SCDA, I think my Touareg wld be awesome-it's just a Porsche Cayenne w/VW badge. And, I'd own the corner entrances-who is going to challenge that towering beast? I cld run right over a se7en and not even notice:). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubarisax Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Plus you have all that low end diesel torque to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 Mike, just work in a few more billable hours, and negotiate a multiple day rate for the Caterham. Just think of the money you'll save on gas by not towing.:iagree: Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubarisax Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Or, you can buy your own spec racer ford and pick it up in Minneapolis on the way. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SCCA-SRF-Spec-Racer-Ford-Road-Race-Car-NASA-Track-Day-Club-Racing-/230795780680?pt=Race_Cars_Not_Street_Legal_&hash=item35bc802248#ht_3082wt_1167 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
