4th annual Mason Dixon Rally

Mason Dixon Rally
Yes the date is set....Saturday September 12th. It is the weekend after Labor day and the weekend before the Ferrari Challenge and Historics at New Jersey Motorsports Park. So I finally found a weekend that didnt have some significant event to compete. No excuses now...put it on you calendar. Details will be forthcoming but wanted to get this out there. See you all at the end of the summer ...or before. Jon
Send me an email if your curious or interested or both turbos7903@yahoo.com

The roads look great. Are you all cross-posting on PCA, MINI and BMW boards? Looked like there were a couple MINIs along...

Cross posting on ferrariChat.com and the Local Delaware PCA site. Otherwise its word of mouth. The event has grown steadily but controlably over the last four years. I dont want random jerks coming out of the woodwork to this event so a friend of a friend referral works beast.
BTW it takes place starting at the truckstop at the Maryland -Delaware line off I-95. I usually wind north and East from there into Delaware ending at an office park for a BBQ. Usually runs about 50-75 miles and takes with breaks about 2-3 hours to run. Jon in Delaware

There's a sign-up list being made on Ferrari Chat so they know how many people/cars to expect for the event. I really do recommend going if you've got the time.

Are many of you attending this event and can you still sign up? I assume this is a "spirited" type drive rather than a "leaf peeper" type drive...
Seems as though the 12th is one of the few days I have free so its this event or driving south to meet up with the VA folks... unless that event is moved to the 26th...

One more going...

Looks like there will be more Lotus cars there than any year so far. I've driven it each year and it is fun. We took the Ferrari each time but this year, it's the Lotus. We'll be leaving from home around 7 (I live at the beach) so if anyone is on the Eastern Shore or along the northern route through Dover and wants to caravan over, let me know.

It was a great event. Nice Lotus turnout. Christine, you are an inspiration. I kinda wish you had not attended because Amy is now wanting to spend a bunch of money to personalize her Elise. It was nice meeting some more people from this forum and look forward to another rally with you guys.

Thanks It was great meeting you guys! If she wants I can do the door inserts for her, it only took me about 4 hours to do. I only put glue on the back so that it would not ruin the piece if I ever took it off. I just went to the fabric store and picked out a few I liked and then got this 3m spray glue from the hardware store. One side I want to redo because the back has a little bump... happened to be the side you took a picture of! lol
