Entered, for Challenge and Time Attack.

C'mon, my East-Coast brethren - we are bringing the lame to trackdays this year. Let's DO THIS like we know how, and make it our big'un! Hyperfest is giant suck, VIR is too far for many...

IF YOU DO ONE EAST COAST TRACKDAY THIS YEAR, MAKE IT THIS ONE!

Jon? Lowell? Rob? Bri? Joe? Joe? Eric? n00bs?

Bring it, you sons-a-bitches. Bring it.

PS: I am t3h k1ng of Shenandoah.

**Gutted Hatch** · 05-18-2006, 01:47 PM

From what I've heard, this event WILL kick ass. Be there, or be L7.

Only if it's dry, ah and I've spent more time in the right seat there than any other course. BTW, I have the fire extinguisher mounted in the van, just for you.

Definitely need lots of Focuses there.

**Hal** · 05-18-2006, 03:59 PM

Definitely need more Focuses at this event. There were a lot of Time Attack FWD trophies that didn't get passed out at BeaveRun. Here is your chance to get one.

Let's see if anyone can knock "thetable" out of this picture.

Done and done...

**BUR_ZX3** · 05-18-2006, 04:35 PM

I've got a TON of Vacation time to burn.... so I'd almost like to go out for this... but alas... the budgetary contstraints.

**slidemaster** · 05-18-2006, 05:29 PM

ahhhh so thats what "The Table" looks like! I know Nik so looking at him Id guess his previous career was in the WWE

**Draxas** · 05-18-2006, 06:28 PM

Yeah, if everyting shapes up as we expect and are planning for, this weekend will be off the HOOK! packed house of cars, vendor mid way, car show, couple thousand spectators on Sunday. Should be a ton of fun!

**Ray** · 05-19-2006, 08:05 AM

Do we have to bring our focuses?

**thetable** · 05-19-2006, 08:14 AM

I'll be bringing my big winged riced out dustbuster exhausted neon.

No, I'm just fat.

**Draxas** · 05-19-2006, 10:52 AM

If you just want come hang out for the weekend or compete in the Time Attack in a different car, thats fine. Im just hoping we'll see some Foci compete in FWD classes at Summit Point. No reason they cant be competitive. :-)

**thetable** · 05-19-2006, 11:32 AM

Squirt ran a couple tenths faster at the last race at BeaveRun than did my Neon, just for reference. Then again, last time I was at Shenandoah, I posted FTD by 2+ seconds in said Neon. BRING IT.

**slidemaster** · 05-19-2006, 02:57 PM

I just had a flash of you and Todd (BurZX3) he used to have a sig that said fat guys shouldnt race karts.

Guess it didnt hold you back to much

Just have to make the car faster to overcome the weight.

**fiends911** · 05-19-2006, 06:00 PM

gonna be signing up for both days soon. i'm a road course noob and my car is slow

so take it easy on me.

**sandmann41** · 05-21-2006, 06:09 AM

Talked to Hal about this yesterday, pretty sure I am going to go.

**seanmc** · 05-22-2006, 10:11 AM

Good man, sands

We'll play nice.

Who's next?

**BadIdea** · 05-22-2006, 12:47 PM

I might actually be able to attend this one. I can leave from Philly around 2pm on that friday.

**Draxas** · 05-22-2006, 03:39 PM

Roll call added to first post...

**bri** · 05-23-2006, 03:24 PM

Is the time attack all day Sunday, or do we still have open track time.

**seanmc** · 05-23-2006, 03:38 PM

^ That, and...are we free to camp, as per usual? Can we get in to the track Friday night for camping?

**thetable** · 05-23-2006, 05:29 PM

Assuming the same schedule as BR, there will be a couple short recesses for timed runs on both days, with the rest regular run groups.
IIRC, Sunday's schedule was Street Class, Modified Class, Unlimited Class, Street Class, Modified Class, Unlimited Class, lunch, timed runs, 1 hr open practice, timed runs.

**eshaw** · 05-23-2006, 09:17 PM

Do you have to have some kind of license or driving school or anything like that to participate? I'd kind of like to go as well as participate, but I've never done anything like this before, not even autocrossing. I'm going to try to go anyway and spectate if that's possible.
