In case my friend gets there before I show up... His name is Alan. So if he shows up... ignore him! LOL

 

shouldn't be too hard to ignore some dude driving a truck.

 

we can make him park across the street, too. Next Friday is good for me.

 

very cool, see you there.

 

uhmm... what TIME?!

Oh, and has anyone here registered for ZoomZoomLive here in Atlanta? Just curious...

 

sorry, I hsould have put it back here that the first post in this thread is updated.

I have put 6:30 as a start time, but it really is not that set in concrete. That seemed to be a time that worked out last time we did this, so I thought we would do it that way again.

 

I'm registered but I have several conflicts I'm trying to work out.

NASA Roebling - Sep 30- Oct 1
Petit Le Mans - Sep 30
Panoz Track Days - Sep 17
ZoomZoom Live Atlanta - Oct 1

If I do NASA Roebling, I scratch everything else.
If I do Panoz, I get to do everything but NASA Roebling

I have to decide if Roebling is worth it.

 

I say it is.

But I am a bit biased. I have not had any track in a long time, and have a rematch with Roebling.

 

But Panoz has 6 sessions on Sunday and I have to drive a whopping 20 min. to the track.

 

So where is this Andretti's? (near Atlanta proper I'm assuming)
Depending on how Mrs WDR feels I might try to finally go and meet some of y'all

Also I'm guessing Zoom Zoom live is at Road Atlanta (seriously considering going)

 

Nope, Atlanta Motor Speedway, Hampton, GA. https://www.zoomzoomlive.com/

 

yes, but you need to branch out and see new track. :

I just want another good turnout at RR. But you are welcome to do whatever you feel is best for you.

Andretti Speedlab is on Highway 9 (Alpharetta Highway) in Roswell, about 1 mile or so North of Holcomb Bridge, on the left hand side of the road. We would be glad to have you come out, it is always good to meet new owners. Hope you can make it.

 

True but I think one of my problems is at my old age, driving home from Savannah after driving hard all day then getting up at 5:30 Monday morning to go to work is tuff. If I could take Monday off it would give me a day to recuperate. I don't have a workday to give until December.

 

Like I said, your choice, obvioulsy. I understand the feeling behind not wanting to drive 4 hours after tracking all day.

 

SIlver I will say this, RR is a much more fun track than RA. Also a very good track to learn to drive with your dsc off. Its a fast track with turns that build many more g's than RA. If you ever drive it you cannot wait to get back.

I'm still battling with myself on this one. I would have to wait till 5:00 PM to leave Lawrenceville on Friday... argggg!

All right...

Reasons for going to Roebling - NASA:
- Be with the gang
- Fun track
- New pavement
- New to me track
- NASA
- In car instructor
- Other RX-8s on the track

Reasons for going to Road Atlanta - Panoz
- 15 mi. from my house
- Solo
- Continue where I left off with NASA
- 1 day
- 6 sessions on Sunday
- Get to do more things in the month
- No hotel
- $100 less in gas cost

Damn! I'm definitely going to have insomnia tonight! Common sense tells me to go to RA and the excitement of a new track with the gang tells me to go to Roebling.

 

we are still on for tomorrow night at Andretti's, right?

 

I'm in.

 

good, you gonna hit the kart track pipe with me?

 

Yep!

 

awesome, I am glad, today is gonna be a short work day, and a good fun day.

 

What time will you be arriving at Andretti's?

 

about 6:30, I am hoping the weather will hold up and I can get the car washed, but that may be a bit optimistic. it is still muddy and dirty from barber , and it is killing me.

I will have to tell y'all about the intersting conversation I had at Jim Ellis this morning. It was amusing.

 

I wash mine every weekend. Last Sunday was a wax job and Rain-X windows. If I don't get my Sunday detail in, I don't feel complete.

 

I have been working too much, and dealing with health problems. washing the car has been on the back burner. and I don't have a garage, and park outdoors at work too. so it gets dirty quick. If I had time, it would get washed every Saturday, but time is in short supply at the moment.
