55Fanatic,

I may be in the S500 due to an unexpected situation with the E-Class. I will elaborate when I see you. In the mean time, between time, I hope to see everybody on the list along with friends. It should be a nice time and lots of fun.

If anybody has a pretty girlfriend, please bring them for it will make the pictures better. (Key word) PRETTY. MO, I know you do.

C.

No Forced induction. Just did a couple of things to make it faster than most 430's. I want to race a 55 to see how close I am to one or if I can beat it. I still have a few more things to add but as of right now, she moves.

You got PM.

NEWS FLASH: The track is still not open. Scheduled opening date is 4/20/05 but even that date is not definite. It won't be sooner but could be later.
This meet that we so anxiously have been planning will be a GTG. If anybody has any good ideas as for a nice drive, please share. Otherwise we can all meet, get aquianted, hang out and have breakfast or lunch.

(F1 racing) just came to me as something to do. It is a nice ride to Braintree and gives us a chance to race each other without getting tickets or hurting ourselves. www.f1boston.com

Derrick lui,

The address is Rt.1 northbound heading towards
Flagship Motors.(MB Dealership)

Pass (Square One Mall) about 1 mile up on right.

Pull into Jimmy's Steer house and IHOP parking lot. Drive towards the rear of IHOP and you should see the cars parked.

For better directions either log onto www.mapquest.com or call Steer house or IHOP in saugus Mass.

Meeting time has been changed due to friday night partying to 11am to 1pm.

C.

This is the second weekend in a row I need to pass on a meet due to stupid luck. I got a flat tire today and nobody stocks Pirelli Pzero Rossos. It may be a week before I can get one. And I wanted PANCAKES!

So we meet up at Lynnfield as well or should we just meet at the Gillette Stadium?

Don't we need to pay to get in though?

I'm up for anything.

I think we should meet up somewhere closer to the stadium. Unless the drive from Lynnfield to Gillette stadium is really something...
