    Looks like 30% chance for thunderstorms throughout the morning. I'm trying to decide whether or not to head out now that the car's running well again. How's the turnout looking?

    I thought I would post this site for the group. I found this site while searching for a oil filter wrench for the 360.

    I like the Hill Engineering wrench that Ricambi has, but could not justify the $85. I was able to locate the oil filter wrench I needed for $30 (also picked up the 14MM hex tool I need for the rear oil sump).

    This guy has some good tools for reasonable prices (once in the site click on the "Facom" link).

    risk seems a bit high and I've got some stuff to do. I'm prolly gonna back out.

    Topic for discussion is the Ferrari Challenge next Saturday. We are REQUIRED to arrive as a group. Expect to meet up on Rt 4 at the driving range across from the DD in Farmington like always.

    I never purchased tickets so looks like I'll have to buy at the gate. I hope I can get into the corral. We going to meet at 10AM like usual or is that too late? Weather is looking awesome for Saturday.

    Event tickets still available on-liine. Corral tickets are not on-line.

    I'd suggest we leave a little earlier...like meet at 8:00 or 8:30

    I have to work on a profile pic.

    I am amazed at how going from one 430 to another could feel like such a leap forward. It feels like I have leapfrogged a generation with this.

    I think Lane meant to leave from the Farmington Driving Range on Rt 4 across from Dunkin Donuts at 8:30. I'll be over there at 8:15 or so.

    Looking at the schedule a bit closer suggests a later start isn't all bad. So long as we arrive and settle in ~11:00 I think it would work fine. First race isn't till 11:30 anyway. Lots of time to Chitchat from 12:30 till 3:00.

    If I mapped this correctly it means:

    leave GBury by 8:30
    leave Farmington by 9:15
    leave Burlington by 9:45
    Arrive 10:50

    Suggestions?

    Anyone coming in a DD with some space for the Canopy/chairs?
    Should we bring my little Weber Charcoal grill? (BYO dogs/burgers/drinks)

    Yes tickets are for sale at the gate, not sure about the corral passes. If you use your AAA card you get a small discount.

    The grill might fit in the Ferrari, the canopy will not. When you add in the charcoal, cooler, chairs and assorted other shi...crap, it becomes clear we will need a support vehicle. I'll need to visit someone before Saturday to provide it all.

    Who can do this?

    Sounds good to me. I guess we don't want to make it for the first race? I'll meet the group in Farmington around 9AM.

    I am not sure if I will have a passneger, but will have a little room in the front of the 360. What do you need me to bring? Food, drink, etc.
