Car show / Pocono Track event FCA sponsored by Classic Coach

I'll be at the track event on Oct. 2. It's always a great way to end the season. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate.

Can't make it to the Fall Festival this year. Too many other things going on. Wanted to show off all the work I did on the 308 this year. Oh well.

 

Actually, you won't see the 308. I'm going to be driving my Corvette. I just had the 308 on the track up at Watkins Glen. It was great!! Had a blast in it. But the long course at Pocono needs HP. And that's what the Vette is all about -- HP, and lots of it.

 

just spent a couple hours with Onofrio, drinking espresso and bs'ing. All of a sudden he tosses me the keys to a 2006 orange Gallardo Spyder
and tells me to take it for a spin. Perfect day for it too. (I thought my 355 got attention, people were literally stopping dead in the middle of the street to take pictures.)
Thanks Frank for an exhilirating afternoon!

 

Anyone else going to this?

 

I was thinking of going but,I thought $75 per person is a little steep if you are not showing your car.I mean I don't mind paying something but Thats a lot if your aren't showing and just going to look.I wasn't even interested in eating either.What do you think am I being cheap?

 

No. You're trying to talk yourself out of wanting to go because it costs more than you think it should.

I think I might roll down there tomorrow in the F430. Classic Coach always has cool cars on hand and I have not seen Frank since The 60th Anniversary in Maranello.

 

Aight, we're leaving from the GDC club house around 11a if anyone wants to caravan down...

 

So who all is going down? What is the expected # of cars there? I hear apprx. 40 Lambo's and Ferrari's, anyone else? GDC, how many cars are you guys bringing down?

 

For registration forms and tech inspection forms for the Oct. 2 event, go to the "events" page at the Empire State Region website. BTW, TODAY (9/19) is the last day to postmark the entry form and get the reduced price.

Hope to see a bunch of you there.

 

I'm in for 10/2 - very excited, will be my first time out with the new Stoptech brake system. It's the Long Course, fast and fun with two awesome Nascar turns, highly recommended guys!

 

Tech inspection done this morning. See you all on Tuesday!

 

Looking forward to Tuesday. The weather is supposed to be great, though a little on the cool side in the morning. Trying to decide whether to start the day on slicks or street tires. Should be a good day!! See you all out there.

 

Also can't wait. An awesome chance to check out the new brakes with full race pads. Looking forward to a great day...

 

I did the Wilwoods on all 4 corners on my '03 Z06 this past spring, running Wilwood H pads. Huge difference. You're going to love the brakes with full race pads. Just remember to warm them up before trying to brake for Devil's Elbow at full speed after the tunnel turn. ;-)

 

Emil, I'll see you at GDC.

 

LOL, Marcello is NOT WANTED around tracks.

 

Don't think I'll make it Ray. Next time! Have lots of fun.

 

LOL. I had to check in Helmet and Racing suit at the gate...... Still had a great time with the LBC crew. Thanks Ray.
