Autobahn CC Joliet May 21-22

[Michelle]

Filled up the van since I am trailering the '90 down. $109 - yuck! That doesn't include filling the SHO up yet either. I'll save that punch to the bank account until tomorrow morning.

Looks like you guys should be having great weather. If I had gotten moving earlier, i would have came out to watch for a bit.

 

[SHOCH]

Had a blast, windy, sunny, short break for lightning. I got to give my Father and Sister rides for the first time. Wierd, still felt nervous with my Pop in the passenger seat, I'll be 45 this year. lol They both loved it. ran some unofficial 1:50's for the south track, pretty happy with that for a first time in this car.
Lots of visitors, Tim Pavlik, Dave Schultz, Ken Mallinson and Family, Greg Ingram, Ryan Pasch, new guys sorry Josh? and ???.
Michelle will post I'm sure, but that car is faster now. There's some porsche, lotus and stang guys a little ****** about being pased by a Legacy wagon and Taurus but they understand now. Only one car, Mustang ate some tires today with a passenger side pancake job.

Sounds like a great time!! Glad the weather held out for you!! Weather Channel shows some nasty stuff coming your way, and it hit us in KY this afternoon.

So, gonna do the LGT at VIR?

Plus you have to win the Non-SHO Drags with it. That way, you can run me for King Of The Hill when I win the SHO side of things!!

I'm bringing the SHO to convention, Just don't forget that crown!!!
I won the "King of the Hill" in a MTX SHO, 15.265 on a 15.25 dial in time in '06, when was the last time a SHO won before me? and how are we going to keep the Gen IV guys legit? all run automatic?

I always bring the "Crown"!!

Gen 4s should be no different than any other ATX SHO. Still all in the r/t and consistency, plus knowing how to dial-in. Especially in the usual 90F+ temps in July.

Me? I'll do what I did with the bad clutch in my '94 SHO in Madison. I ran consistent 17.X times driving like granny, then I screwed up in the MTX finals.

Thanks for the ride Tom, It has lit the fire once again.

It was good to see everybody again. couldn't ask for better weather and the venue was great.

 

[Michelle]

Definitely a good time with some great company. Car did pretty well, but developed a misfire issue so it went on the trailer. I was just happy it was on the track!

And it's always nice when a plan comes together and the husband didn't even see it coming.

I was glad I showed up and met everyone there, had a pretty fun time for my first time being at a road course. Definitely will be at up coming meets and events. Was also excited to see a s/c sho and see it run, great car Michelle.

Sorry I missed this, spent the whole weekend cleaning up and reassembling a Supercoupe with a leaking intake manifold but went all the way down to the block and back out with MLS HG's and ARP bolts just to be on the safe side!

Should be ready soon as will Green, and Bluie. not long and I'ma have all my stuff running... :woo-hoo:
