I bought them already ... why couldn't you have warned me earlier!!!!

 

damn seems like you guys are having a great time. i havent been on the track once since I moved down here. I went to some drag event on sat, fun to watch some old muscle cars run 7, 8, 9, 10s. there was an 11 sec crx, an fp green evo (didnt run) and a "seriously modded" sti that ran a smoking 14.58. drag racing is fun, just doesnt do it for. prob be thinking different if i drove a mustang or something.

gets some vids up so I see what I am missing!

 

ryan, when are you back in town.

i need you to take car of some of my light work in maryland. i believe you've read the posts?

 

The Crime Rates (Violence and property theft) of Philly and Wilmington are equal.

 

That sucks. Philly is never #1 in anything. I dont think its even the fattest city in America anymore.

 

move to jersey. Im sure we are #1 at something.

Also, the water makes you faster.

 

They haven't posted a schedule yet, but the sj region is having a winter series at NJMP. Its a smaller lot, but flat and smooth.

Best part is that you get about 8 runs.

 

That probably right up your alley Kenny. How far are you from NJMP?

I did a couple of their winter events like two years ago. They use the padock area of the lightning course. its roughly the size of DE but the grip is pretty nonexistant due to the cold weather. Then again in Dec-Jan its the only game in town.

I'm really hoping Monticello opens their full course again for another winter ralley!

 

How does that work? Its covered in snow and they allow you to just go pound around?

I'd be scared of going off and getting up close and personal with Mr. Barrier.

 

I think they only ran the south in the snow, but either way I wanna go

 

you are correct Jeff, it was only the south course. I thought they did the full course for some reason. Here is a cut & paste from last year:

The MMC Winter Driving Series is designed to deliver driving excitement, rally car style, on our track that happens to be covered with ice and snow!

An exciting fun filled day of getting sideways and mastering four-wheel drifts awaits you. Check out www.drivemmc.com for the newest videos and pictures.

Utilizing the MMC South Circuit, the Winter Driving Series will be open to all licensed driving enthusiasts. Bring your friends and family to watch as you test the limits of your car through time-trials, open lapping sessions, and other exciting formats. Just because winter is here doesn't mean the motoring fun must come to a halt. So let it snow at the Monticello Motor Club.
