Cerious Performance and Sport Technik are both in CT as well, although Sport Technik is a bit of a haul for you. You will be much closer to Lime Rock, that's a real nice road course.
Welcome to CT!
If you ever have any questions on how to get anywhere be sure to PM me.

For you Lebonon Valley drag strip will be aprox 1 hour and 30 minutes,N.E. dragway would be an easy 2 1/2 hours away.
Pruven is less than an hour ride.Hope you like the inexpensive gas around here,I hear in chicago it's like 2:25 a gallon or more
for 93 octane.

thanks guys for the info... I'll try to be at etown for the mitsu day. Gas is about 1.95 for 93 in the suburbs, when I visited Farmington, it was about the same. Anyone know if 104 unleaded is available in the area?

It is available at the pump @Jonnies mobil in rockville,ct.That is about 1/2 hour drive for you and it's turbo Blue,maybe even 105
octane.It is like $4.65 a gallon,but worth every penny.I dont know of anyone closer to you that sells it,but just ask around.
BTW,the "PIKE",aka the berlin turnpike is only about 15 minute drive for you and almost every friday or saturday night lots of stuff going on down there.That is if you like fast cars and street racing,LOL
