Yeah, they are moving locations (it used to be like a mile from my bristol house). From what I have gathered, the April 1st meet will be a members only meet at a new location so that it leaves a good impression... The next meet is April 15, but location is still TBD (probably at the secret location of April 1.


Left on my check list:

Mount new tires on Shelby's
Install my S&R springs
Find alignment shop...
Install Electronic Ignition Module
Clean up some of the crappy wiring, fix tach, maybe swap alternator.
Order my helmet
Learn to drive.

It is actually going to be tough since I'm going to the rally this weekend, and then going to Rochester Easter weekend.

It's CART, I'm pretty sure. They apparently have an april 15th members-only event. SCCA, I'm not sure about. What do you know abou the SCCA event?

I don't know if there is an SCCA event.. I don't know where they are opperating out of. Ray's friend with the Subie used to drive out of Waterbury in SCCA, but they moved to NY I think...

CART operates up here, and maybe the members only event is the 30th and the 15... stupid members..

The more time I have to prep the car the better. http://www.cartct.com has the current schedule (not very informative at the moment).

I read today that in order to become a cart member, you have to attend three events, and get "voted in" by an existing member. :shrug: That's what I read on their forums, but I've got no f-ing idea. Let me know what you do, because I really want to go, but I'm having one hell of a time finding out any information.

My guess is that the members only event is the 1st... and the 15 is public, but I might be wrong... they are at the same location, but they aren't going to let people know what location it is since its still a secret to non- members. Lame I know.

I'm just going to check back after the 1st and see if they disclose the location.

The FCSCC events look interesting, I'm not going to be ready for the 1st, but the 28th sounds good. If you want to go I'll still go with you or meet you as long as I can make it there after the Rally
