Martin Sports Car Club is now racing in Tavares. The next event is next Saturday 7/12/2003.

Check www.martinsportscarclub.com for more details.

Hopefully we'll see some of you guys out there.

 

Cool! Thats only a few minutes away from where my dad lives. Alot more convienent that Palm Bay IMO.

 

How far is it form Orlando? Could I say be back by 5pm in Orlando?

 

Easily. It's by Leesburg. If you don't know where that is... Just past Mount Dora. Your best bet from UCF would be to take the greenway to Sanford/I-4, then SR46 west to 441. From there ...

Aw heck just look it up on mapquest.

 

I think it would be alot easier to just take 434 to 436, then 436 to 441 (through Apopka). Just watch out for the Winter Springs cops

 

Sorry guys... I had everythingt setup to go, got out of work, was gonna have tires set up by then, but my car got busted into tonight, my radio, and about 50 CDs got jacked, my stereo area and area cigarette area are in my backseat, and now I cannot open my driverside door from the outside.

Guess since I haven't washed my car in a month, the tires are pure smooth bald, tint is falling off the hatch, and my 5 year old CD player were worth the headache and possible $15. I guess on a lighter note the guy stole a CD player that is starting to skip.


BTW never see a movie at Waterford, its the ghetto now, car broken into, door handle busted, center console ripped out beyond repoar, radios stolen, CDs stolen, a month ago had my Tag stolen, 4 other managers have had there cars broken into with similar things, and I personally as a manager have had to call the cops at least 20 or so times about car thefts. hehe one guy stopped his car in the theater, went to check some movie times, and his radio was stolen with his car parked in front of a line of people buying tickets

 

Sounds like th PD needs to run a sting...

 

what time should we get there??? and if you buy a membership can you run that day or do you have to pay to race also???

not far from longwood.... I think I might go...then back and the winghouse that night....Hmmm sounds like a great car day!!

 

No membership necessary bud. Just make sure all your lugnuts are present, no cords showing on the tires, battery is secure (no wobbling), bring your helmet if you have one (FREEloaners available) and bring $25. 1/2 tank of gas is a good idea too. That way you don't starve the pump in the corners. After you come to a few events and are sure it's something you want to do, you can join the MSCC club. Anual dues are $30 and then you can participate for $12. All we ask is that you don't join just to get a discount. Believe it or not, we aren't making money on this. It's amazing how much it costs to put on these events. Just come to a meeting if you don't believe me. We go over how much was spent, how much was taken in and how much is in the bank at every meeting. To be a valuable club member you should come to at least a few club meetings, most events and help setup the course for at least one event per year. If you get hooked like most of us do, all those requirements are actually enjoyable and aren't a big deal. I like designing courses and helping put on events. I have to limit myself so that others can get their one time per year in. lol.

I'll be leaving about 7:00 Saturday morning if you want to follow me. This place is a little harder to find than BCC was. You have to be there by 9:30. But if you get there that late you're gonna be in a panick to get through tech inspection in time to be able to walk the track and get a feel for it. I like getting there at 8:30 at the latest.

Things to bring:
Chair
cooler
snacks(if desired)
sun screen

There is shade to sit under and real bathrooms too.

 

Come on out and join us and yes it sound like a great car day. AutoX in the morning and beer & Winghouse girls in the evening.

All joking aside you will have a great time but watch out it is addictive. I ran my first event in February and look forward to my monthly fix.

 

Hey jeff,

Ready for your monthly whoopin' I see. lol

j/k See ya Saturday.

Mental note to self: These guys are really gonna let me have it one day when they finally beat me. I'd better be nice. NAH! hahaha

 

You know I remember a thread where you said that you would hand deliver the trophy if I ever beat you. Your days are numbered and one of these months I'll take you down. So I'm looking forward to a little trophy delivering ceremony.

 

SWEET! I think I will go....what happens if it rains?I 'll see if I can talk the wife into going...if not...I will go by myself.

 

Takes about what...from 9.00 to 2 or 3 in the afternoon??

 

If you leave as soon as competition is over you should definately be out by 2:00. You can stay for 'fun runs' too. Allow another 1-2 hours for that. We run rain or shine. I like rain. It makes things fun to say the least. Of course I'd rather have dry weather. But wet pavements good for goofing around and not messing up tires. Don't worry about the rain. We'll all be under a canopy to watch the event anyway. Just look for the blue tarp. That's where we'll all be.

Call my cell if you want an escort. (407)718-3266. That goes for anybody. I'm planning on rolling through Longwood around 7:15. Lake Mary 7:20. Sanford (I-4 & 46) around 7:30.
