How to survive the winter w/no track.

[smankow]

I'll be putting my stock seats back in for the winter months - need seat heaters, etc.

As for passing the time, I get to go to Ft. Lauderdale for some meetings with a client.  After that, time really flies as tax season will be in full swing. 

By the time I can catch my breathe, it's spring when wandering minds start to think about brakes, suspensions, tires, ...

Don't forget skiing! Carving a turn is very similar to turn-in, apex, and track out. It requires inputs such as grip control and proper balance transfer. Many of the great racers are skiers, one of the most accomplished being Emerson Fittipaldi.

Absolutely correct! Skiing really does share a lot of the physics involved with performance driving. Pluse, t will keep you in shape for the tack.

On a lazier note, do we have any shooters out there? An RTR night at the trap range would be really fun. And for all you pistol folks, French Creek Outfitters has an indoor range. So for $12/hr(plus ammo) it is a really cheap way to get rid of pent up aggression.

Sorry Mike, small caliber only.

Chris,

Small caliber, to me, means .308



I do have a couple of 45's and a a few 22's..... I could very easily be talking into joining you guys for an outing at the range.

Classic Pistol in nearby Bucks County is very nice. They permit rifles, too.

If there is no rain on Friday I hope to get out to the French Creek outdoor range to try out a new toy.

Chris:

Lower Providence Rod and Gun has Four trap houses going on Friday nights.  And it is only three dollars a round.

Might be fun to get some folks uot for a night shoot before it gets too cold.  Do you know anywhere where we could trap shoot during the day?

I think French Creek permits trap, too, but I have not shot there before. I need to sight in my shotgun--it's been a loooong time since I've shot.

Cars are cleaned. (not the Honda thought)

Motor is still in bits - bit the invoice "bits" are adding up. hock:

If we all throw in some cash, I'd be happy to store it in my garage:

so, with our 1,300 members, we should "assess" everyone about $20 (for the 42" plasma screen). That sounds more than fair.
