I'm in for pretty much any weekend in the summer, I backloaded all my wedding stuff to the fall. I'm good for bringing some food and whatever else, plus I'll bring my grill over and all my cast iron stuff and do some cooking.

Depending on production schedule, I'd be down for a meeting. I could use a break from working 7 days/100+ hours a week. Even if I don't show, I'll chip in for the keg. Hell, even if I go, I'll barely drink anything.

I saw God that night too. INTERNETRACECAR brought over a couple of his fast mopeds and I took the 70cc one out to see what it could do, which felt like 45-50mph. Got into a tank slapper up against a guardrail and almost lost it at full speed. I thought I was going to die for sure. I was able to recover though and as soon as some checks come in next month Im putting a 70cc kit on my moped.

I'm pretty sure even HF forging plant employees would be horrified by my methods and safety equipment that night.

Unsure if I'll be around those times, but hopefully. Friday nights I'm usually at Fart Pipe's place doing things like... that. A lot more people used to show up but work schedules keep loving them over :sigh:

Bristol is around 40min from Fart Pipe's place and we usually hang out there after work on Fridays until the wee hours of the morning, as long as he's around.

Does this mean a mini NEAI meet?

BTW:

The most popular day we picked so far on the doodle app is August 22 with 6 votes.

Saturday, June 27, 2015 is the Canaan Summer Rallycross in Canaan, NH. If any New England area Goons want to drive the Paseo they're welcome to. Just note you'll need to be there by 7:45 AM, work course (resetting cones or calling them on the radio), know how to operate a manual transmission, and borrow a loaner helmet if you don't have a SNELL SA2005+ one. Registration is $70 for non-SCCA members. Registration closes June 24 but to make grid smoother for the organizers it would be useful to know within the next week or two if you're set on going.

There will also be events 8/2/15 @ Canaan NH, 9/26/15 @ Okemo VT, 10/17/15 @ Cummington MA. As long as I can get the car to these events I'm happy to share the car.

If I counts I drive to and from the events on your bottlecaps. Once this set of rallyx tires gives up the ghost I'll be swapping them from the stock steel wheels onto another set of bottlecaps. Luck would have it they're a pretty good fit for the Paseo, super cheap, sturdy as heck, and fairly lightweight.

It's a bit of a hike for me, but I'd try to make it out on whatever weekend gets picked, provided something I own is running well enough to make the trip. Right now I'm 1/5, so I'm doing OK I think. Fun fact, while stopped in traffic on the way back from the one at Fart Pipe's place (I think NEAI 2.0??) there was a big van alongside me (with government plates :tinfoil: ) that looked to be filled with HS girls on some sort of field trip. The driver tapped the horn, I looked over, and 3 of them flashed me :eyepop: I have a feeling alcohol was involved somehow.

I will bring my video camera, it's pretty decent and has proper image stabilization, we'll see if we can capture Ken's deathrun in all its glory. I would say chase cam would be a good idea, but I don't know if anyone else would want to subject their vehicle to that.

I don't. The white MJ is never seeing the road again for a variety of reasons, the XJ isn't either, neither of the subarus is getting wailed on and the other MJs aren't getting beat up like that.

I suppose if someone feels like trailering the white MJ there for me I'd love to beat on it some more, but that would be ridiculous and a waste of time.
