    Who can make it out for another drive on the 29th?

    Several people have asked for a route that will take us through the 2nd drive from the April meet. We had planned on going through it again last month, but it took alittle too long to make our way through the Indiana side. Also, everyone seems to enjoy lunch, but some of the guys have asked for more time to socialize and/or have some type of activity that the significant others might enjoy.

    We can plan on leaving from the Summitt again, but where should we go/do?

    That's OK, I got my fix (temporarily, at least) Saturday on SR135 on the way down to and back from Freetown. That would make quite the road course if you could keep the horse trailers and minivans off of it.

    My Diablo is running strong and has more power than ever since I tuned her.....but the main drive shaft is a common item after a while to break. I guess from all the torque and twisting...it was bound to break... A friend of mine who has a similiar one just broke also. Replacing it no big deal. I am taking my time to find a stronger one. Also while the engine is out, I am going to do the clutch in kevlar and replace all seals...plus powdercoat...As far as my luck goes....it has nothing to do with the drive shaft breaking...when I do have her back together it will be a much better car and the "maybe it will last a month" statement won't exist....plus it was a pretty stupid statement. This was the first major issue I have had...and I also expected it.

    I was joking man, since you havent been able to make the past meets with problems
    The kevlar clutch is a great idea though! Get it all done while the engines out and come run it hard someday :)

    As it stands now I'm in and 2 others...might add more

    Ferrari F355 spider
    Porsche 911 C4
    Porsche 930

    *we must run the downtown via-ducts at waterfront as a fly-by. In fact, it would make for an incredible video clip.

    Matt - let me know when your out in the Lotus so we can meet up in the meantime and I'll get w/ you tomorrow on other matters.

    Joey, Adam, Stephen? I think that part of a car club is some socials as well. I am good to go now, Talked to the wife and nothing is scheduled.
    Dan, however, is a little too far away for a social.

    I looked them up, the seem kind of like kiddie cars with the bodies, wings, etc... Have you been there? Are they fast?

    I was thinking more of a racing venue like:
