Exclamation Visit Widefoot Racing in Hillsboro, NH - 7/25/04

A few of us were going to take a drive over to Hillsboro this Sunday and check in with David Breslau at Widefoot Racing. David is still in the progress of setting up his shop but it will still give us a chance to see what he will have in store for us.

The plan is to meet at the Hooters parking lot in Manchester, NH at 10am. We'll hang out for ~30 minutes to give everyone a chance to show up. Then we'll head on over to Hillsboro (~40 minutes) which has some nice twisty sections along the way. We'll hang out with David for a little while, grab lunch, and then head back to Manchester.

Directions

Tentative list of who is coming
  • Downshift
  • Gyro
  • my10ae
  • RPIRX8
  • Speed Racer
  • Spin9k
  • Tigger

Count me in! I do have to be back by 1:30 to watch the race though. I think I can make it back in under 30 mins from Hillsboro to Manchester :D

Tigger,

Your list looks right to me. Hopefully a few more people will decide to join us on Sunday.

Great fun today guys, I had a good time. Good to see everyone again and to meet the new folks.

Also, Roy and I are trying to get a group together who want to tint their 8s to go to the place where Pat got his done (Roy has the name of the place). If enough people are interested i'll start a thread for it. For now, PM me if you are interested. Hopefully if we get enough people we might be able to get a discount.

It's all about the driving :D. It's getting harder to keep the car bone stock if I keep seeing the goodies you guys have.

Looking back, I'm glad the run went well without turning into a "Worcester Volkswagen" incident

It was great meeting up with you guys today and I'm grateful that we didn't have a "Worcester Volkswagen" incident. We'll have to get together again in a few weeks. I'd like to head back to F1 Boston and take the carts for a spin. We also need to have another Tech Day to help Justin install lowering springs, CZ Stage 1, and the stock intake.


Pat,

I'm glad that you were able to find a few keepers from my photos. I'm sure that there were more than a few blurry and less than stellar action shots. Let's just say that you were a moving target.

Great time guys , how nearly perfect our amazing little cars are for that type of environment. As a 'flatlander' from the coast, I really appreciated driving those certain un-named little stretches of road we did like four times, they were even in in-my-dreams last night :D ! Too bad we couldn't close um down, put up toll boths and charge admission!

Roy, don't forget the 'fog light rewire' lesson for the next tech session; and count me in for the F1 Boston event whenever.

Hey Justin,

Chris was right, I checked the books and it is illegal to tint the side windows in NH. I think my car would look pretty goofy with just the back windows dark. So for the time being I think I'm going to pass on the tint.
