Well since Sunday is going to be live on the boob tube. I thought that Saturday would be a good day to go .

[FOCS]

Aaron ~ Saturday is good......what time??? Could maybe meet you at the 71 & 61 exit. Let me know.

Ihave to bring the children so it is no Cobra for me .
I am still going but just with some extra sets of ear plugs ( for the children.

[slvrsnk]

Am I glad that we brought earplugs . The kids and I were not prepaired for the sounds of the cars. The Corvetts were amazing , the Panoz was probably the loudest car I have heard, I wish the Lister was running this year it was quoted as being the loudest car that the announcers had ever heard ( it had a 10 liter V8). The Indy cars are probably louder but they do not sound like thunder rolling up on you. On a side note the Audis were amazingly fast and very quiet ( those crafty Germans)
I thought that I saw your car there parked in the infield, doing it's best impression of every childs dream ( saw about a half dozen people taking their picture with it .
Well I hope that you had a great time and rembered your sunscreen.

Aaron ~ yep, that was me. It was really the first time that I had it out around a large group of people and I had a hard time getting away from the car because everyone was asking me about it. My biggest mistake was opening the hood......everyone had to come over and take a look see!!!! Talked to alot of people and passed out a bunch of SPF brochures.

We hung out for about 3 hours, drank a few beers and a couple bottled waters. Also bought some awesome cobra pics for my office.

Sunscreen is always on the list when going to Mid-Ohio. At least there was a slight breeze at times. I remember one of the last times I was at the Indy car races, it must have been 100+ in the shade and people were dropping over like flies!!! Let me know if you ever head up this way again or if there is anything going on down your way. Or better yet, just a cruise somewhere.

Later,

Brian

Aaron, Brian,

Glad you guys had fun up there! Woulda liked to have joined you, but family activities kept me around home this weekend.

Was up for last years, and enjoyed it(tagged along with the Hart Racing NSX), along with the CART race. BUT, if you really wanna make your ears bleed, nothing but nothing, compares to "feeling" 6000 HP on Nitro-Methane. Makes those Le Mans cars seem like a soft whisper!

When's the next Ohio meeting??

Aaron,
Dave asked when our next meeting is-- Question--Could we combine the next meeting and the fund raiser--(August 25th show)?. I'm really trying to see if we can get our club to make a good showing--if it doesn't make sense to do that (combine club meeting and show) that's fine also. I know you guys had thought about meeing up here for the next meeting--
But we maybe able to kill two birds with one shot--
Let me know--
Mike

Mike
That is a great idea . I think it is at the very heart of what the club is about. I will leave it up to you for the information on the show. I will help with anything else that you need.
Talk to you soon .
