    For any of you who are interested, this weekend at New Jersey Motorsport Park there will be a few members running. On Lightning we will have our very own Jon Walton he will be turning laps in his racey little Lotus. I will be over on Thunderbolt for two days with NASA, taking part in the last race weekend of the season. I know there were a few planning to come down on sunday to watch (Joe G. and Marc) For anyone else please feel free to come on down. Bob Craig would love to have your photo skills there for some more nasty track pictures. Either way if any one is intersted in seeing the track and seeing some amature racing come on down.

    Let me know if you have any questions, should be a nice weekend for some motorsports.

    You looked to be setting quite a blistering pace out there. I think I have some more pics of your car but my point and shoot doesn't like to focus on the elise. Hoping to have a better camera for next season. By the way, do you happen to know the origin of the open wheel cars than ran? I got there when they were on track. They seemed awfully large to be a lower spec formula type of car.

    Joe,

    Like I said, next Spring we should definitely take the Stradale and the Scuderia to the track and compare/contrast the two in the environment that they were meant to be in.

    Thought I would post some photos from over on thunderbolt. These are of the two race groups my buddy Jim is in white Miata, I am the green M3 with the red wing.

    Other then rain on saturday it was a great weekend, good racing very tough competition, but a fun time.

    Jon sorry I couldn't make it over was racing and sort of entertaining as well so I couldn't get away. Hope you had fun.

    Kyle, no apology required. I didnt make it to Thunderbolt either. Too much distraction and activity on both our ends. Glad you had a safe day. Jon

    Thanks for nice comment, It was a really nice weekend my friend drove your car thought it was unbelievable. The track manager drove it also and gave my friend the ride of a lifetime. Not sure who you are, I thought the car was
    Harvey Segal's. I am not a member, I was a guest for the weekend with Harvey and his brother-in -law. We had a private driving instructor who made the weekend an awesome event. Sorry the helmet was a notable for you,
    I have four other racing helmets I will be sure to wear one of them this spring when I revisit with Algar Ferrari at there day program. Maybe I can borrow a red jumpsuit. I also listened to Andrea Bocelli coming around the lightbulb
    turn, hope that is OK with you.........

    Before you come to the algar event make sure you pack your sense of humor. Glad you had a good day. Track events are a great way to spend a day. Jon in Delaware

    You question my sense of humor..... I wore the bowling ball, you only had to look at it.
    Was I right, did you let someone else drive your car that day? Were you there on Sat in the rain as well?

    You got me on that one. You are right....you do have a sense of humor. Gloves are off and in the box. To answer your question,I didnt let someone else drive my car. there were two Red Elise's there as I recall. I was only there on Sunday. It was a beautiful day as I recall. See you at the Algar event. Jon in Delaware
