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.

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!

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.

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'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.

Wow, good for you! That is some machine. . I had an '05 Turbo S with my cousin we exported to Switzerland for sale. I went for one brief drive in it. They are a wicked cars!

Do you park in front of bath houses often, lol

I recently got a new car. I was torn between a GranSport, 997, or XK recently and picked an XK Coupe.
