Kerry and Jim you are both all set!! I am moving the site this week to another server and service as the "free" AOL bs isn't working out as planned. I'm working on getting a mailing out for this week and sending out a bunch of updates by the end of the week!
My best, Mike D. |

Well, I finally asked Amy if we could go. We'll see what happens, but Aug 27 is our 10th wedding anniversary. We'll think about it and I'll hope for the best. |

We'll think about it and I'll hope for the best. i looked over the page highlighting the hotel and it looks like a really nice place; i wouldn't mind spending any anniversary in a place like that. i know i'd be glad to be with Joy doing something she likes on a special day, so we can hope Amy feels the same for you. looking forward to seeing you both there ... (i registered Joy and me today ... we'll be there...) |

When I made my reservation they informed me the price break was at the lodge and not the inn. Can someone confirm this???
The inn looks great and the Lodge looks fine but just not as nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I'll still be there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Cheers Kerry |

Sadly it's true, we are in the lodge not the Inn. The Inn didn't have enough rooms to hold us. It's very very popular with wedding parties. Hmm I can see the papers now: Bridesmaids abducted by twin trunk drivers!
The lodge is nice though and it is right next to the Inn. Updating the sponsors and news section tonight and sending out a masss email to everyone thats registered so far. My best to all! Mike D. |

And given the tendency to drink in the evenings at the Ramble the Bridesmaids may be in trouble!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

Dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
The Zone 7 autocross school (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) is that same weekend. So now I have to choose between helping the local folks learn to properly flog their cars, and hanging around and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) with the East Coast guys! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) This is not the sort of decision I like making, I feel like either way I lose... --DD |

What's this? AX @ ECR? I'd better keep that quiet if I want ANY chance to attend.

QUOTE(ArtechnikA @ Jun 10 2004, 09:19 PM) QUOTE(djm914-6 @ Jun 10 2004, 05:16 PM) What's this? AX @ ECR? Paul Heery raised the possibility back on Page One - a local group has an event already scheduled ... I've had a couple of people contact me about this. So, here are some particulars. 1.) I am a member of the Fairfield County Sports Car Club. We have a regularly scheduled autocross on Sunday, August 29th. Unfortunately, I am not able to attend the ECR, but I will be at the AX on Sunday. 2.) This autocross is not affiliated with the East Coast Ramble. However, we are a friendly bunch and gladly welcome all participants. 3.) The AX site is located in Waterbury, CT at the Naugatuck Valley Community College. It is located right off I-84 and is about an hour from the ECR hotel. Directions can be found at the bottom of this page 4.) The cost is $20 per driver. You will normally get 5-6 timed runs and we leave ample time for fun runs at the end. It will cost you $2 per fun run. 5.) We do not pre-register for our events. You have to show up, fill out a simple form and pay your money. Registration is open until 10:00. So, if it was a late night at the ECR, you may still be able to make it. We have a good neighbor policy so first-car-off is normally not until between 10:30 and 11:00. 6.) We run a muffled event. So, if your car is too loud, you may be told to put a sock in it. 7.) We run and class according to SCCA rules. 8.) There are places nearby to get food, but you must leave the site. There is a McDonald's, Burger King, Subway, Dunkin Donuts and others down the road. The Electric Car Club from the college is on-site selling coffee, cold drinks and some snacks. 9.) We run rain or shine. 10.) If there is enough interest from this group, I will volunteer to be the club's Event Chairman for this AX. That would give me the abilty to designate a 914 area in the paddock and more importantly, design an AX course that would be a great layout for 914s. |

If there is enough interest from this group... i think there's a "9:14" breakfast slated for Sunday, but maybe we could arrange to have that trackside ... i hate the thought of being on the road before 0800 on a Sunday, but as soon as someone says "track day" the epinephrine kicks in and i'm up ... i have no idea how my car would be classed per SCCA these days. does your club support the Open Street Prepared class? since i'm just targeting DE prep i haven't even glanced at a rulebook lately ... not that it matters - a 2,2-L LWB 911 is gonna be toast on a 914 course ... pls consider this an indication of interest - it looks like it'll be our only AX this year... i'm just hoping i'll have time to finish off the 911 after resurrecting the Subie ... |

Joan sorry you are all set. I've been a little crunched here. I've sold my house, am remodeling the new one. To top that off I am leaving the company I am with and going to a different one. Ohh and the icing, the secret weapon I had for the ohhh and ahhh crowd at the ramble has fallen thru. I was taking my rust free shell, yes rust free, and having rabbit flares welded on and having the whole shell pwder coated as part of my 6 conversion. The welder had a nervous breakdown (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) and I just dont have time to finish this up for the ramble. So I'm bringing my b-car instead.
Dave you have to be here. Who else can judge the flaming shot contests? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) Who else would we get to point out the flaws in our "pristine" east coast cars? :unsure:Besides we share the same birthday with Ed V. the three of us have to have a belated drink together!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/party.gif) Is it working...... Hey aside from all that I'm still sane!! Just ask my rice crispies they told me so this morning! My best to all! Mike D.

QUOTE have no idea how my car would be classed per SCCA these days. does your club support the Open Street Prepared class? Dude, you are so screwed. I went to look up where your 911 would be classed and assumed that it would be in a Prepared class because of your comments. The SCCA is not kind to Porsches and 911s in particular. You would be running in ASP along with the prepared Corvettes, BMW Ms, Vipers, Honda S200s. Good luck. You'll need it. |
