CMP -- What teams will be there? (Page 2 of 3)

The Duff Beer Civic will be there, still looking to go an entire day without blowing up a motor or transmission. So far our record is 7 hours. On the bright side, we've got enough extra engine and transmission parts to build an extra drivetrain at this point.

Dammit. I was hoping for cold and miserable.

We'll have beer; two of the drivers have brewed batches. We're trying to decide if we should have a "no drinking until the car is ready for Sunday morning" policy this time around. Last time we had too much home brew and moonshine and never got the car ready for racing in the morning. Of course we did have to swap out an engine, so it was a lot of work, but we've done that in an hour before.

Super Troopers Racing will be returning to CMP for the fall race ... but under a different theme.  Road Warrior Racing will try and repeat the win from the spring race that the Super Troopers took home last time ... One new driver, a new theme, the 5th race on this car ... my money is on it blowing-up this time.  Check out our car with the new digs here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YyVp60-TUA .  Finished it just in time!

respectfully, Speedycop, for some reason this post harshes my buzz.  i'm sure it isn't personal, more than likely it stems from a recent experience i had with the local constablery.  our project car was violated by a local peace officer in the name of detective work.

our ragged 1982 BMW 528e was parked in an odd manner in my building's parking lot with a sheet over the dash to protect it from cracking.  the dash is worth like $250 easy on-line.  so in the middle of the night the law broke into our car "just to be sure" it wasn't a stolen vehicle.  did i mention it was on my property?

i fought the law, and the law won...........

actually, i'm letting it slide.  small southern town with six cops.  no need to bring any more attention to myself.

anyway, lighten up big guy.  no need to prejudice a new race.  afterall SuperTroopers are the defending champions, they will have enough to deal with.

Sorry I harshed your buzz.

I don't see any probable cause for entering a locked vehicle on private property, just to check a VIN, unless it matched the description of a vehicle involved in a recent felony, and even then, unless there were exigent circumstances, you can sit on it and get a warrant. Perhaps your state/local laws are different...

Lemons started early for me today as I sat for two hours in bumper to bumper traffic on I-95 trying to protect my line from lane changers. I expect that will be just like the opening stint this weekend.  The culprit of the back up was an Ambulance that crashed into the guard rail taking out about 75 of railing. 

Wonder if the highway patrol made the ambulance crew sharpie on the remains of the vehicle, "I will not crash my safety vehicle into guard rails"?

Our blue-ass Volvo will be back, even if we have to drive it to the track.. and it's very much looking like we will have to.

Be safe on the way down.  Leave the crazy ass stuff for the track. 

Second thought, get out of your system now.

Looks like an old style Exxon car.

I wll be there crewing with rbankracing.com and there Saab 900 turbo. No endurancekarting.com team this time due to the main driver/s having a karting event this weekend at Lime Rock.

Team Police Brutality is leaving MD now. See you guys around 10:30, hopefully. We too will be scrambling to finish numbering/theme/etc.
