I suck at this "update thing"
Pardon the website sabbatical, but I return bearing gifts.  Reference new photo gallery link, and videos from Pocono (Finally).

In the mean time, 3-Zero crossed figurative swords again at a regional autocross, and I discovered what has probably been causing all of my thermal issues with the MR2.

I've made a few updates to the Calendar, and I am fi'n to add some stuff to the store.

So check that out, and we may see you around.

Pocono!

In Pocono.

Car Show Today: Check

Hotel internet connection = the slowest known to man.  I feel like I should have brought a dial-up modem.

I'm running a mini-blog HERE

Mo-betta updates to follow once I find a network that doesn't sap my will to live.

Opportunistic?

I stopped by the first annual Hardin Valley Academy car show this morning.  Since I was there I registered the NSX in the "Foreign" catch-all class and hung around.  At the end of the day I left with a 1st place trophy in that class (based on popular vote).  Although the event was lightly attended, I really appreciated the result in light of what that car has gone through. 

In other local news, 3-Zero is offering a promotion for the HIN/NOPI shows of $5 off adult ticket prices.  Details on/around the banner to the left!

Sabbatical


Having arrived back from CMP with the MR2 still suffering from thermal incontinence, it may be a little while before I hit the track again.  Probably a month or two.  The NSS events have either been rescheduled or fall on a weekend where I am unavailable due to prior commitments.  I believe I will still be able to make the annual pilgrimage to Pocono, so that should provide my mid-year fix for all things expensive and exclusive.

On a positive note from the weekend, I've moved one step closer to a competition license with NASA.  This may not be evidenced by my execution of turn 14 in the video to the left, but I assure you I fixed that :).

Forthcoming shenanigans
Yeah, that's right...I said it.

If you haven't been keeping track of our calendar, there are a few things on the radar at this point.

-Chatt. Region SCCA autocross on 4/25
-NASA South East event at Carolina Motorsports Park (CMP) 5/1
-Tracksunlimited event at Nashville Super Speedway 5/16

The NSS event is a definite maybe for me.  I would like to use it as a "before" test session prior to making any wheel/suspension changes on the NSX, but if the MR2 breaks, then I'd rather not risk having both cars down at once.   We shall see.  Hopefully I can swing all three before taking a break for june/july.

Pocono 2010: The Aftermath 


Crap, I've done it again!  A hopelessly ambitious title up to which the short paragraph to follow has no chance of living.  Oh well. 

Pocono this year entertained for a number of reasons not least of which were the cars present.  My shutter snapped at some of the rarest Ferraris in existance, some of the fastest Alfa Romeos in the world, the newest offerings from Lamborghini and Aston Martin, not to meantion the dearth of slightly less rarified, but no less arresting rolling sculptures.  I operated a bit of a ramshackle blog (click here), in between showfield and track days over the weekend.  Honestly, half the fun of attenting such events come from sharing the experience.

You can find pictures here:  CLICK!    and here:  CLICK!

Now, for those of you who have wondered what an FXX sounds like at full song, and not in a video game:

CMP, slightly warmer: 


Much to my relief, I arrived on friday to something other than a blizzard this time.  A semi-frustrating, but over-all fun weekend ensued.


Road Atlanta: Round 2 


As some of you may recall, I have previously visited the hallowed Road of Atlanta and was thusly smitten by its grandeur.  I made a second pilgrimage over the past weekend, only this time I was not flying solo.  That's right, after much ado (including, but not limited to: a 3-year car build, moving between cities, and a thrice delayed and then cancelled track day) TJ finally made it to an event.  MORE HERE!

Also, In keeping with tradition:  Video ahoy:






NOPI

Video(s) of the Month
The history lesson continues.  I probably shouldn't have said that because it sounds educational, causing many of you to lose interest immediately.  Seriously, watch them, it'll be good for you.
