2008 New jersey auto x season thread

[macdady2424]

Exarkun1178, I only work 35 miles away and would be game on Friday for Hopewell. I could easily be there by 5:30pm when it starts up. As long as the weather looks good, I'll show up. Do I have to contact anyone or just drive to the dealership or something?

[exarkun1178]

as i understand it, you just show up...ill find out more.

[exarkun1178]

its like beating a dead horse, this thread,... anyone have plans for this Sunday's bmw autox at the ball park? or the cruise afternoon in point, or the cinco de mayo drive in ct.... hello... hello....

[MidasHands]

I want to do something Lotus related this weekend just not sure what yet. Kinda watching the weather but I also have some business stuff going on. I will let you know.

[macdady2424]

Well, as long as there's no major rain, I want to do something too. Like I said, I'm game for Friday night down in Hopewell. I'm also pretty sure I'm gonna hit up BMW's auto-x this Sunday, as long as the weather is good.

Also, where can I find more info on HRM's / SCDA's track day up at Lime Rock this Aug 13? I want to attend (1st time on track) if it's not full already.

Hey, we just added an extra benefit to attending the Hopewell Cruise Night:

Ed Kollin, a motor oil engineer from Exxon-Mobil, will be giving a talk at the Lotus dealership around nightfall.

Mention OIL to a bunch of gearheads and you get a lot of interest...it should be fun to see what Ed has to say about SM oils (the kind without ZDDP additives)

I'm boning up over at the BOBISTHEOILGUY.com forums so I can look intelligent! (I said, LOOK intelligent...)

A few of us are meeting at 5 PM at the Quick-Chek on Rt 31 & Rt 579, taking a very quick Spirited Drive to Hopewell! PM Me if you can do this.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

PS, If you can't make Hopewell, come on out to the Britfest car show in Succasunna on Sat May 3rd. We will be re-running one of my favorite Sussex County drives after the show...the Pequest River Valley tunnel-run!!!!

If you need directions, I can provide them.

[macdady2424]

The Britfest show runs 9 AM to 3 PM. (Actually voting and awards are usually over by 2 PM)

The Link above points to the organizing club (Click BRITFEST) and you get the flyer with directions etc.

You are correct about it being at Horse Shoe Lake in Succasunna, across the pond (how apt!). 1/4 mile south of Rt 10 on Eyland Ave.

Our Drive will commence when the awards are done. If you don't want to pay admission for a late afternoon arrival, PM me and I'll provide my cell #

[exarkun1178]

this is a busy weekend...

[macdady2424]

Opps, I meant to say Roxbury, not Randolph. All the r's get to me. I drive by there and thru Randolph every day.

Carbuff, I'll see you Friday night. I'll get some info from you then.

exarkun1178, are you gonna meet up with the other Loti at the Quick Mart around 5pm?
