Our final EMRA race weekend of 2006 will be at Summit Point Circuit in West Virginia on Nov 18 and 19.
Sprint races on 18th and a 4-Hour Enduro starting at dusk. More Sprint races and also Time Trials on Nov 19th (Sunday). Time Trials are great for stock, street cars (open cars need roll bars, but not hardtop cars).
If you're in the area, come on over (you may have to sign in at the gate...if they ask, list yourself as EMRA crew).
I'll be running my #11 in the shorter Sprint races and Pete and I will be running his 1275 Mk II Spridget (#23) in the 4-Hour Twilight Enduro. (we have teamed up on this for the last four years).
Both my daughters and their husbands will be there as well as Linda. One of the son-in-laws will run his street Mustang in the Sunday TT event.
Last year, #23 Spridget burned a valve about 20 minutes before the start, so we had to do an emergency transplant of the headlights/driving lights onto my #11. Meanwhile, my car had snapped a throttle cable on the cool-down lap of the last Sprint, so I was down in the footwell, madly working to fix *that*. When I started the enduro (5 minutes late) there was still a Vise-Grip and screwdrivers in the footwell. I couln't get them out until the first fuel stop.
I just put the headlights in #11 today, "just in case"...always good to have a "Plan B".
In the 2005 4-Hour, I spun the car about 15 minutes from the end, (someone spun in front of me and I went off-track to avoid him....and lost it). We still beat a lot of folks and were listed as Finishers...great, since #11 was totally unprepped for such an event.
Pictures from 2005 EMRA 4-Hour.
Burned valve....Oh no!
Hastily installed headlights/driving lights (very mis-aimed)
First Fuel Stop
Night shot of #11
To the Cold Pits for a loose exhaust repair...we were back out in 5 minutes
