I am trying to organize a track rental for early May at New York International. There is a thread about it on www.WNYFbody.com in case anyone else is intersted, check it out.

Could you tolerate a visitor from NJ?

I notice in the thread that there are concerns about T-top vehicles being treated as convertibles. Not sure, but appears that IHRA may have retracted that rule. I don't have the IHRA rule book (yet), but the 2005 rules revisions on the IHRA website indicates:
1/21/05
p. 97 RollCage/ Roll Bar: Delete the 4th sentence of the section stating, “T-top vehicles follow convertible guidelines.”

Fred, it would be great to have you join us :) Our track is pretty lax on the rules.....i dont think they would give you a hard time unless you broke into the 9s.

FYI, trackmasters novice driving school is May 7th and 8th at Watkins Glen International. I did one last year and had a blast! I am going to be there that weekend if anyone wants to join me :) I don't know if that will influence you date or not, but I thought that I would throw that out at cha.

Rich, early May would be great. How about something between the 9th and 21st? I am getting married on May 28th, so after the 21st will not work for me. Mid-week is fine too.

Let me know if you need any help with setting it up.

Hey guys

I have a friend with a single turbo supra that may be interested. Any problems with him going with us for the day? Let me know when you get the date narrowed down.

Thanks

Rich keep me posted. If I have enough notice I might like to try and make it out. Would try and bring the new orange car out with me if I have a secure place for it.

Anyone who wants to. AFAIK there is no problem with spectators, only those running need to pay.

Rich,
Where is this track (how far from Philly) and what is the date? Do you still have openings?

I'm finishing up school in the next couple of weeks and would like to get some seat time in my car.

Let me know.
Thanks!

The track is about five hours from Philly. I'm not sure how much room Rich has left.

Thank you. It's a little too far for me to drive for the day.

Rich,

If you have more room, as posted above, let me know when you decide. Send me an e-mail as I don't swing by as often as I use to.

They don't prep the tracks around here :(

Depends on the weather,. I will be up Sunday that first weekend of the weather is decent. The car isn't quite ready though.
