My first PDX/CT race is the Saturday. Will be looking foward to this season, though will probably not do much touring this summer, we will be spending some track time.

Very nice! What track? I hear you on limited track time. I have a 2month old so my fe time is limited. I do hope for at least one or two days though which I would be very happy with!

Car guy, just don't do racing of any kind. I'm just a cruiser. Looking forward to a few good cruise nights.
Thinking about heading down to Mustang Unlimited in CT on April 29th for their anual car show this year.

I hope to do some car club driving this summer, but free time and working 1000+ miles from home does not help.

Re: Car guys?
 
Oh man that sounds ruff! 1000 miles away from home is not fun on a regular basis.

Maybe we can all get together for a smoke and watch some good car racin at limerock seeing that you guys are in MA.

I race at Reno\Fernely Int. Raceway. Its a great course, but has had some finiancial issues in the past few years. The SCCA, and other clubs have helped some.

Re: Car guys?
 
Oh and I know what you mean about limited track days, I have a 15 month old, that's why we wont be doing much if any tours this year. We have generally attended several PCA events, but there hard with a 15 mo. old!

I've been trying to get so some of these event for the last few years but have never been able to make any. Maybe I'll hit the micro car one this year and bring my mustang to the Ford show.
My buddy usually goes to the Italian show with his Ducati club

I think the strip is cool but personally more of a road course guy...although i do have a bit of a rocket road course car :) 2800lbs and 450whp.

I've been 1/4 mile racing Vettes for years in the past at Englishtown and Eastern Suffolk LI... Just traded in my 08 Z06 for a P 911 Turbo. Did some computer work on it and she's close to 600 Horses. Next up...The intercoolers. Love the all wheel drive and the fact that things just don't break so easy on this car.
