2011 Events planned?

[SinisterSHO]

Getting excited for this year. Already registered for Putnam Park in April with MVP Track time, and planning on going to Autobahn Country club with them in June and August, plus the convention in July.

What's everyone else's schedule looking like?

Northwoods Shelby Club is running Autobahn May 21-22, Ryan and I were talking about it. I like the MVP idea for Monday after the BBQ too, are you listening BigJim, lets do this.

 

[Toolman]

A few weekends at Hallet in the spring, I want to do Heartland Park in Topeka, then I hope to be able to join a Lemons team for a Texas race or two. Eagles Canyon looks like a lot of fun.

The highlight of the year will be VIR of course.

Looks very interesting. Ive been wanting to get out and try my hand at a road course. Hopefully Ill be able to get the new engine in and broken in by then.

Break it in at the track

Break it in at the track

Tempting...If I stay on track I should have it ready to go by then pretty easily.

Guys, I do not think I can make it out in August, for the BBQ or track day. Ugh.

I have a 3 day religious convention from Friday to Sunday. It's weird because I usually have it in late June/early July.

Maybe I'll decide to be bad and go to a different one. I don't know...

It is awesome! It really makes the track quite a bit better - heck, even just the new pavement is nice to have.

The fact that they designed is so it could be run counter-clockwise is pretty cool, too. We got to do parade laps last year backwards but really didn't get up to speed. This year we will be able to run it at speed that way.

Running counter-clockwise made it more challenging, for some reason it seems the elevation changes (modest as they may be) took a lot more to negotiate than the regular clockwise direction.

maybe because you're so used to it the other way?

True... it seemed like there was less visibility going counter-clockwise for some reason like more blind hills

 

[sho4life]

where is the convention this year?

I'll be at Putnam with the bike on April 9-10. I'm signed up for a clinic to get my Race License.

where is the convention this year?

Charlotte, NC

I think they are doing the track day at VIR, they say its about a 3 hour drive

 

[jason8225]

Yes with people going both directions at the same time! There will be an extra waiver for that session. ;-)
