All it takes is a couple, especially in the Evo, which is a sports car with a green house on top.

Are you gonna come visit, drive, or work the event? Do we need to look into another room?

RJ....I figure you are home, or almost there.......Hope you had a safe trip, look forward to meeting you, but it won't be in Rockingham, because I have to work. I would like to hit one more at Road A before the season is over though.

I hate you guys......I am trying to figure out how I can get free one day, and come down for some time. Maybe, just maybe I can score some time.....I have all these new goodies, including a new strut tower brace made of carbon fiber , which I want to test.

I may be able to make that one, I HAVE to get the car to the track. I am supposed to go to Vegas and race, which I have to prep for.

Lego, why you lurking on the 350Z boards?

I'm lurking because I'm looking for track events that are around the South East. Since you said you do the Evo boards and the RX-8 club, I thought I'd look at other places and see what people were talking about.

No, no Nissan envy. We have one, my wife drives an Altima, but I'm not looking to give up the 8 for anything else.

Just checking on other track events. The Tarheel SCC is pretty active and since I used to live in Charlotte and Raleigh, I might join them in a few events.

Not really, just giving STF an option. I'm still trying to make the upcoming trip. Is it just You, Phlash, and me???

The President of the THSCC said that their schools are set up like NASA and it's a little cheaper. Although, it doesn't have the work for credit which I like. Just more options for track ho's. They do Roebling, VIR, and RA too.

You will be there. Resistence is futile.

If you want, I'll pick you up at exit 17 on I-85.

Hey, I might just do that, don't tempt me.

Tomorrow, all the 'new' goes on. The new clutch feels great, I can't wait to get it to the track with all the new stuff.

Are the rear seats anything more than the seat and back cushion? The seat is really light, I didn't think they'd total 25 lbs. How do you remove the backs?

I need to win either a fuel can or driving gloves this time.
There are certain tools/accessories I refuse to bring, but if you want, I'll bring my air tank for you to use. Let me know.

I will drive to Rockingham from Charlotte where I am currently. I plan on checking into the hotel, then heading to the track around 5pm and scoping out the area. I will meet you guys at the track. Looks like it is in the middle of nowhere so chances are that Sprint PCS doesn't work there. Just look for the track ho, that'll be me :p

Per Julie:

This information is for all the NASA volunteers for the upcoming event at Rockinhgam.

NASA will not be able to access the track paddock until midnight Friday.
This is due to the last minute notice that the track is rented ALL day/night Friday by a filming crew!

We are hoping to be able to set up T&S since it is located on the outside.
Registration and Tech will be held outside of the track Friday evening in an assigned area and operated out of the Red Enclosed NASA trailer. Our biggest hurdle will be getting ALL the entrants/trailers lined up for a quick entry through the tunnel Sat AM. WE MUST not let the tunnel get blocked by ANY NASA vehicles since there will be others coming and going through the tunnel ALL day/night Friday!

Jim and Julie Pantas will hope to be at the track around 3PM to set up outside on Friday.
Thanks for all you do!

please call or email if you have any questions.
Julie
