While I have not actually sacked myself, I do appologize for a distinct lack of content over the past few weeks.
My work schedule & lack of car for part of that time has somewhat curtailed my in-flow of internet fodder.
TJ
& Travis really don't have much of an excuse though :) .
Here is a quick update as to where I stand:
-NSX is up and running as my DD although the climate control unit is probably about to bite it. That stuff is
for wusses though, and I believe is a simply an issue of re-soldering the board, so I'm not too worried. -The MR2
is a valve adjustment away from being armed and ready to mount an attempt to salvage a bit from this autocross season.
I need some solid results in the last two events. -I will be at the Daytona leg of Le Belle Macchine D'Italia in
November. That should provide copious eye-candy for the site (again). -For those videogame inclined; Forza Motorsport
3 is coming out shortly. That should help pass the off season assuming I don't break something else that takes months
to fix over the winter.
I will endeavor, in the next few days, to come up with something worth writing on here...even
if that means going all "journalist" and playing the car pundit...banish the thought.
After a couple of weeks driving the loaner sled around, I was able to retrieve the NSX from Barney @ Asheland Motorsports.
I cannot say enough about the level of service he provides to the NSX community.
It's nice being able to drive
the car without thinking about a potentially 10 year and 100k mile timing belt making a bid for freedom.
The MR2
should be back in my hands soon as well. Unfortunately this means the track budget is looking somewhat anemic for the
rest of the year, but there is always autocross :)
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.

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!
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.
