We had a full weekend with the cars. Towed down to NJ on Thursday evening to run the Midget and Miata at the new Thunderbolt course at New Jersey Motorsoprts park, then towed to Lime Rock in CT Friday night to run there and towed home on Saturday night. Parked the truck and trailer in the driveway and went to bed. Got up on Sunday and remembered there was a car show being held along the Cape Cod Canal at Buzzards Bay Park so Erica and I drove down with both cars still on the trailer and for fun I entered the track car. It still had the brake dust, mud (Raining with slicks and a welded diff = touchy) and a general race patina. We walked around and saw some very nice cars, my Friend Rick had one of his Bugeyes and there was a few other Spridgets.

During the award they announced they were giving out the Rusty Nuts award for the most unkept car. There were a lot of nice cars and all the daily drivers were nicer than my street car. As they are describing the winner they said - This years winner doesn't have AC, doesn't have wipers, doesn't have an interior and the tires don't even have any tread on them. So my track car came home with the Rusty Nuts award. All in all a good long weekend.

Nicely done Chris! Glad to see you enjoyed some of this great weather with the cars I hope they ran well. I wish I had known I would have been there to vote.

You need to turn your phone on - I tried to call you Sunday AM to tell you about it.

 

[Hooper11772]

Really, I know i'm having some phone battery problems. That stinks I would have loved to go. I did get my clutch squared away so i'm driving. I still don't have blinkers but I may take a slightly illegal drive to Pembroke some time soon if your free to give it a show.

Great pictures Chris. And congrats!

How'd you like T'Bolt? (I may run a NASA event there in a month or so)

 

[ChrisS]

Thunderbolt was fun, I ran a HPDE there with NASA last Wednesday with no chicanes and we shared a race date with VSCCA there this Friday using the second chicane bypassing T3. Since T3 is high speed my car liked the second configuration better.

As for the car show my favorite was this pre-Hudson Essex Terraplane.
