Damnit, Ahmad, you are going to make me pull the trigger on some DRs sooner than I wanted. F.

I'm in. Always up for a good time. Now I just have to repair my secondary head cover leak. No biggie, a tube of RTV, some paper towels, a little scraping, no worries.

Like I said I'm down.
I odnt know anything about NY so you guys gotta figure out a place and time to meet up.

Haha sorry man. Believe me I dont want to be spending any more money on my car either!

Mine are leaking too, no biggie lol

Hi, Ahmad.

Is there any chance this track day is still on? Or is MIR hopelessly snowed in?

The 10 day forecast looks pretty good for getting some of this snow out of here. Around 40 degrees and mainly sunny each day! Fingers crossed....

How's it going? I spoke to the track last week and it is still on. I will double check with them again this week to see how the snow clearing/melting is going.

Hey! That's great!

As I mentioned in the PM I just sent it looks like I'll need to be in DC for meetings on Friday February 26.

If the track day is a go I'll drive instead of fly and then head over to MIR on Sunday so that you fast East Coast MB guys can put a whipping on my modest little SL.

I called Jason this morning to reserve the track on the 19th and he mentioned this. I am probably going to reserve the track the following week but I will start a new thread if/when I do

Is this open to join? I'd love to come up to Cecil...it's definitely close to me than MIR.

I'll be hitting up Atco in March. Roughly halfway between me and MIR ... I'd guess about 2ish hours from MIR.

Haha we were hit hard by some blizzards a couple weeks ago. It was crazy snow. Shooting for April 2nd now, may be too warm for records then but will give it a try!
