This Saturday...Who's going from RI, Southeastern or central CT? Lets hook up somewhere. I promise to show you some COOL roads Lane
Empire state and FCA club event... Cool place to hang out with other Ferrari's http://www.empirestateregion.com/clubevents.htm
Bob Coates of FCA runs a great event! The newly repaved LRP means you better be running much faster gears guys than before the repave. FYI: Used WGI gears on the F2000 and still felt a but too slow from mid-downhill through the front straight. A point of reference, was yawning while doing 0:52 or a touch less with the old aero/Pinto engine setup during a test day (had too much wing on her, was selling the car and did not wanna ball her up) while the pro guys with modern aero and Zetec engine F2000s plus tweaked setups with engineers onhand were in the 0:49s or a touch less. Get ready for some VERY fast lap times
Hopefully its dry out. I did a track day last month where granted it rained pretty hard. Huge puddle In No Name and the Esses. Streams everywhere running over the track. Hard to fight mother nature i guess with all the higher elevation in side the track.
Steve....Not sure what course they will be running....new chicanes at the climbing turn and back straight. Lap times could run a bit longer if they use the new configuration. Vunico...As described by Market Mover, the event is a waiver signature access. Its an absolute hoot. Something real cool about parking in the paddock. Makes you feel like you belong. Dave...Saturday only for me...gotta pay for my toys somehow. DaveM...Its supposed to rain like a ***** This thursday...Friday and Saturday look mostly dry but Humid...Track should be OK except Limerock Lake will be full. I thought they were going to fix that during the re-pave.
To those staying over on Saturday night....We'd love to see you all Sunday morning from 8:30 till noon at "the Connecticut Gathering" on you way back into the heart of New England. See the Gathering thread for details and Directions. Lane
Hi Lane, Mrs. AVFPolo says I'm relieved of barn duty for Saturday (actually, she insists that I leave for the entire day). Ninety percent chance that I'll make it. I'll make final decision by 1200 hours on Friday. Where and when are you meeting for the drive up to LRP? - Ed -
If it's a nice day, hope to go as an observer. No roll bar installed in the spider. Hope the weather cooperates. M
I'm likely heading up Sat morning to observe...and really getting the itch to try the 355 on the track!
Ed Jay and I usually hook up near Farmington someplace. You in? We'll get more details Friday evening.
Jess, Sorry to hear that you can't make the trip on Saturday. I was looking for someone to drive the 355 while I catch up on my sleep from the passenger seat. But at least our furry friends in need of care will be in good hands on that day. - Ed -
