Real Hoopties of NJ 2014 - Who's in? (Page 8 of 10)

But once you are in, there is no way to stop you.

We will be sleeping at the gate tomorrow morning,  Coming down from Maine to pick me up then heading to track.

If you stop by the pit location of Elmo's Revenge, I'll contribute to the bacon fund.

You could borrow my bikes....  You would just need to find a way to get them there.

oh wait....

In on the bacon, text sent.

Thanks Ross

They really are holding at the gate until 630 fyi. They'll shuttle you to the pub.

I have a bike for you but you will need 6 friends to help it is on tne left side of the gate with  yards brewery flags on it

It's too bad the race was as "dirty" as it was but the headcount didn't seem overly excessive to me. You could argue that the headcount was half the problem but certainly not the entire issue.  I remember at Loudon that we'd have lines of cars waiting to go up the hill under green because of congestion but we didn't seem to have that problem this weekend. Busy, sure, but not terrible as long as you weren't there to set record lap times.

Warm weather and people just driving the wheels of their hoopties.  I only saw ONE car drive through the paddock for passing under yellow.. With the taped to the roof shame.

I heard that at the Chump race (in the alst couple of weeks) there was a "come to Jesus" speach. 

Basically, the drivers were sooo agressive that they had to warn everybody.

It must be this track or something...

As hectic as it was we managed to stay mostly out of trouble. Two black flags only for us. One was a 4 wheel off on my sister. The other was on the second to last lap. We never learned what it was since the pages were gone before we could get there.

I really wanted to thank everyone for driving sanely around us. Saturday we were very slow due to the car constantly trying to overheat. I was driving in basically 4th only and half throttle the whole opening of the race, and that just set the tone for the day. On top of that putting my sister in the car for her first time ever going racing. She was in from 12-2 on Saturday and ~10:30-12 on Sunday. Only one incident of minor contact on Saturday and she had no real complaints of other people doing anything too aggressive around her, so thank you everyone. I'm very impressed with what she did. She's only driven on a track once before at an HPDE, and she had never driven our POS ever. But she went out there and drove for 2 hours on saturday as if she'd been doing it for years.

Hopefully we stayed out of everyone's way while being slow. I did my best to stick to one side of the track and let everyone by me. From what I saw my other drivers did the same.

That was hilarious.

I hope that's still his number.... If its changed, some random person has a REALLY strange voicemail message.
