Re: Setting up a track date
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:

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.

Re: Setting up a track date
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
Ben

Re: Setting up a track date
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.
