Ummm.....I was just told by Dwight of SCTD that the event is full. So......I guess I will make the next one. This sounds a lot of fun, I hope they do another this spring.

Full my butt - you should definitely come anyway. They always have people who drop out. Really, I don't think it will be a problem. I will vouch for you so no worries. If you have a free day come along.

I've signed-up to go to PTC. If the weather's bad I'll drive my Saab. I'm going with a friend. I'm up for lunch at the Texas Steakhouse after PTC tour, and then karting, I'll have to see if my friend is up for karting too. He may have to get back to NOVA to do family time. If anyone is coordinating this stuff, please contact me with details or questions at 703-912-1978 or gary.madison@verizon.net. See you Saturday.

I'm concerned about the weather tomorrow - I may be getting a ride with someone else and not drive the S. Doesn't look good on weather.com. Looks like it will be snowing all day in Winchester.

Thanks for the weather update. I'll definetely be driving my Saab. My friend has to work tomorrow, so I can bring, or meet one other person there, who can use his reservation. If anyone's interested, let me know by calling 703-912-1978. I may not be accessing e-mail again until late this evening.

Sorry man, I forgot to bring my camera also Yeah they fired up a McLaren F1 race car in the shop Ahhhhhhhhhhh the sounds of V12 fury baby............... It was sitting next to several other race cars from years past....2002ti, M3s, you name it.
In the shop, they had a couple of complete M3 race cars from the American Lemans Series as well as a couple of cars that were in the building process. These babies use 15-inch front brake rotors and of course, Brembo calipers................most impressive
We also got the opportunity to see them testing a 6 cylinder race motor on the dyno. I stood there and did this ---->
Nice meeting up with you Gregg, hiroprotaganist, and Gary
