Re: Car Show / SVX Mini-Meet and Autocross, Nov 1

Harry.

Could you give me more info on the Auto X. Could I take the claret out there possibly and run around some cones? How much is it to run?

Thanks.

We'll miss you, Tom. I envy you on your trip! Sounds (and looks) like fun.
Maybe when you return and the 2009 autocross season begins, you can come down for the weekend......

Stay safe .....
Harry

Rebecca,
By all means, you must try autocrossing. You'll love it - just ask SVXRIDE. One time and he was hooked. Rufus too.
As for the autocross with the Mercedes Club, the cost is $30. Usually three "practice" runs in the morning, break for about an hour for lunch (lots of places in the area to eat), then three runs (the best of the three run times counts officially) in the afternoon. Start time is about 8:00 AM for teching the cars and registration and setting up the course, drivers' meeting, walking the course, etc. The cars on the course about 9:00 - 9:30 AM. The field is usually broken down into four run groups. Novices are required to have an instructor. The courses have been anywhere from 45 sec to 68 sec. The parking lot is quite large with ONLY one light pole in the center - no one has hit it in the four years we have been running at the Millbrook High School. The lot is in front of their football stadium. VERY nice lot, and we have been able to get a wide varity of autocross courses on it over the years.

Sure hope you are still planning to come to the autocross, and I hope you can stay for the mini-meet / cookout at my house afterward. The autocross should be over about 4 - 5 PM, and I live about 15 minutes away.

Hope we'll see others too, but anyone else coming down, please let me know so I'll have enough beer and hamburgers ... So far, it is you, Ron, (maybe) John, and OT may stop by on his way to NC.

Come on Folks - this may the last chance for a SVX meet this year....

Harry

Re: Car Show / SVX Mini-Meet and Autocross, Nov 1

I have already exchanged emails with Harry. I will be coming down on Sunday. Possibly racing too. Most likely I will race the Claret, but a slim chance I will race the Killer Tomato. Should be fun. I'll take lots of pics. See you guys Sunday.

Sorry, Harry!! I really would like to come out and play!

I took on a large job last monday with a 2 week time limit figuring I would have my brothers help, BUT!! When he came up to the shop monday night, he was looking for someone to drive him to Baltimore on tues for emergency eye surg!!!

I took a personal day and we left at 3:45 AM to be there by 7.

He was told to stay away from the garage for 2 weeks and 'supervise' for 3 more!

(Turns out that he had a detatched and torn retina)
Since I have become an 'authority' of sorts on the subject, I was the best choice for the pilot.

Re: Car Show / SVX Mini-Meet and Autocross, Nov 1

Rebecca, so sorry you are not well and will not be coming! I received your email. Fell better soon - maybe next time.

Subi, I understand .... next time too ...

Looks like right now we have Ron (already here and still asleep) and John (supposed to arrive by mid-morning). Not sure who else will be coming ...

Off to the autocross ..
Harry

Thank you. I've been fighting a small cold for a few days now and I didn't take any meds Friday (I forgot) or yesterday (hungover, was afraid I couldn't keep them down ). So now I'm paying for it. Oh well....Good luck today Harry. Really tear em' up.

Oh you have a PM in your box.

Re: SVX Mini-Meet and Autocross, Nov 2

Great time today at autocross and cookout - and "mini-SVX" meet. Attached is a pic of the "group" - three (actually four) SVXi and one Cobra that joined us. The autocrossing was great and the hambergers (along with the beer and wine) were pretty good too. I'll post some more pics and video on PhotoBucket tomorrow and post a link to it here ......

Thanks again to Ron and John for coming down - sorry Becky was ill and couldn't make it .... Hope you are feeling better .....

Harry

Tom,
We missed you and Lady Di as well. I am assuming you are on your way to NC now. Please have a safe trip!

Maybe we can try another mini-meet soon.

Take care - and slow down!

Harry

Re: Car Show / SVX Mini-Meet and Autocross, Nov 1

Okay, pics of both the autocross and the mini-SVX meet are "here": http://s222.photobucket.com/albums/dd218/newsvx/

Look at the left for the list of albums. For the autocross, the title is "Autocross 11 02 08". For the Mini (really mini) SVX Meet, the title is "SVX Meet 11 02 08".......

Good times ...

Harry

I am converting a 'conversion van' into a wheelchair lift van for a guy.
His family member has a week left worth of insurance before she is pitched out of the re-hab/nursing home.

Lift is installed tonight, now I have to hook up the wires and install the tie downs for the W/C.

'go' date is saturday.

It is midnight, my hands are dirty and I am tired.

My nephew has been involved for the last 2 days, but his work will pull him off the project till saturday.

Wish I could have been there!
