New Venue Round 4: RSVP registration

John,
I wanted to say you are doing a great job. FCRA, its a huge success. You should be proud. My two cents, I have told you this in person. Stay away from FCA, keep doing what you are doing. As this racing series grows in popularity more opportunity will open up. It already has.
I can't wait to see next years schedule.

 

"I was seriously considering not telling you and Jerome so I could get the edge but I can't seem to keep my mouth shut."


Jerome and I have the track all day Weds, forgot to tell you, sorry! Rain expected Thurs. Good luck, bro.

 

+1,000! Hence, it's success!

 

Oh please! Rob you are fast!!! You drive the wheels off that 355.

John,
Thank you for your help, but I will not be able to attend the Monticello event. I am also not going to Watkins Glenn. It's my personal protest against FCA!
I am signing up for Homestead.
Have fun at monticello and be safe.
Cheers

 

FCRA Saturday September 3rd dinner has been moved to LAVO www.lavony.com, 39 East 58th Street, New York, NY 10022-1617 (Telephone: (212) 750-5588) 8:30pm.
LAVO seemed more appropriate to preempt and celebrate the success of FCRA as a dinner venue considering the ambiance suits the occasion best. I apologize for this late notice. My Regards, Anurag Dandiya

 

See U all Tomorrow!

 

Great seeing all of you!

Wonderfully run event and really good racing.

Super day and Meg and I had a great time.

Rob,
It was a blast!
Great shot. I looked on MMC website...couldn't find that pic or others.
Would you be kind enough to point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

 

I actually misspoke: that came from their Facebook page. Same pics are on Jim G's page.

Great photos Ari! Thanks for sharing! Really fun event and beautiful venue.

 

Will, what did you think of the track? How does it compare to other tracks you have run?

Dale

 

It a great track over 4 miles many elevation changes great turns very long straight and it's a great club.

There's also a new off road course that we're going to run the Baja Boot on.

It looks like a great track, of which there can never be too many. Gotta have someplace to exercise the ponies.

Dale, my favorite tracks are big and fast - the Glen, Mosport, Atlanta, Sebring and a few others. Monticello is tighter and more technical than those tracks. If I were any good at all, I might love the technical tracks (hey I like Mid Ohio and Laguna Seca). But I prefer to be scared once a lap or so.

Monticello is a beautiful facility, the track staff were wonderful to us, the clubhouse was a treat, and the track is challenging, better than any of the other newer US tracks I've driven. We were very fortunate to have been allowed to race at Monticello. If you ever have the opportunity, you have to go.

I can't guaranty you'll have P4/5 as your pace car .....

 

Thanks. Just curious. What corner on what track gives you the most, uh, pucker power?
