Does anyone know if I will be able to drive since I am not of age yet?
Firehead:
Most groups don't allow anyone under age 18 into an event because you have to be able to legally sign the liability waiver and produce a driver's license. Don't shoot the messenger!

I'll go with Cardinals and Steelers. Although I'd love to see Kurt Warner win another ring (just to show the St. Louis Rams football organization they were wrong), my money would be on the Steelers.

I'm partial to the AVO #2 and the shop of choice is Town & Country Tobacco in Manchester, Mo.
We have a group of gents who get togehter there weekly to discuss money, sports, politics, etc., enjoy some spirits and smoke our favorite brand. Great place!

Track days, when run properly, are safe and an absolute blast. I appreciate the concern about an on/off-track incident but controls are put in place to monitor drivers and we have thrown "ass hats" our of events and including them on our black list. We in turn share this black list with several other regional groups.
You'll find our (www.MVPTrackTime.com) events are well run, safe and offer a good amount of track time. I hope you guys join us at Putnam Park (April '09), Mid Ohio (October '09), etc. Happy Motoring!

Single barrel bourbon (neat). In No particular order my preferred brands are:
Jack Daniels Single Barrel (Whiskey)
Makers Mark
Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve (23 Years Old)
Stranahans Whiskey (Small Batch)
If it must be a drink, a Manhattan.

This is a great opportunity then, I'll call you this weekend. Thanks
Dark, I'll look for your call.
God damnit, I need a RWD car!AkumaNoZetto:
Bring the front/all wheeler. We had a guy in a new Honda Civic with us last year at Putnam Park in our Novice run group. Only his second time on a road course and he was faster then just about everyone else in the Novice group including a LOT of high horsepower RWD cars. The AWD (Audi, Subaru, EVO, etc.) do fantastic. It's all about the driver and enjoying the track time!

Lot of tunes old and new, but the stereo always gets turned up on anything from Stevei Ray Vaugh (RIP), AC/DC, YES, E.L.P. and Asia.

PS: I won't admit to increasing the volume with my daughter in the car when Miley Cyrus comes on!!

Radio:
I was at a New Year's Eve party and someone asked about resoultions for the New Year. I said I was going to quit smoking and at midnight I put out my last cigarette. It's the only way I knew how to do it. Just quit and don't look back.
Consider some sort of positive reward for yourself with the money you'll be saving by not buying smokes any longer. Great way to afford car activiites. Good luck!

Are these private rentals, Mark?
Anthony:
Yes, MVP Track Time is a private organization that rents out various tracks nationwide. We've predominanatly been in the Midwest but are patiently expanding. No membership dues, just regsitration fees for each event and a lot of track time with six, 20-minute run sessions for each of the three (Novice, Intermediate and Advanced) run groups. We have qualifed instructors for the Novice drivers.
Give me a call at (314) 249-3770 if there are any quesitons. We are right in your back yard with Putnam Park in April and Mid Ohio in October. as mentioned in an earlier post, for anyone who's never run a road course, Putnam Park (near Indy) is a great facility for beginners and experienced drivers. Happy Motoring!

None of the above.
Ditto! Keep looking for a clean C6 if you want the Vette. Salvage title becomes a bit of a PITA!

I'm hoping to be out there on two wheels next season, we'll see how much money I waste on things other than a race bike.
Kenny:
I've been looking at litre bikes after being off two wheels for a while. Got an itch to ride again and do some track riding as well.

We (well the wife) has a Grand Cherokee Limited with the Hemi and we like the utility (two kids), safety (all-wheel-drive) and the ability to easily tow my race car. I do hate putting gas in it. I've tried to get wifey to trade up to a newer Grand Cherokee Ltd. diesel (Mercedes V-6 turbo diesel) for better towing (more torque at low RPM) and about 30% better fuel mileage. She hasn't said "Yes" to the new Jeep because they don't have the diesel in the color she prefers.

Approx. how much are you entry fees on average? This group looks very interresting. I was thinking of signing back up for Chin this year but this may be a better bet.
Andy:
Entry fees vary by track and are available on our seb site at:
http://www.mvptracktime.com/id47.html
Mid Ohio, as an example, is $350 for the weekend or $250 for a single day. Hope you'll join us!

If I zoom in far enough I can see two or there pixels that resemble a car.
Come to Mid Ohio with us (www.MVPTrackTime.com) October 17-18, 2009 and you can see the Radical. Maybe even a ride as it's a 2-seater.

kick ass Radical Mark. I'd love to see it in action sometime. Any other cars in your collection currently? I'd have a hard time believing that someone with enough of an addiction to buy a Radical wouldn't have some other cool toys.
My first auto love are Lotus'. I've owned, at various times, five Esprits ranging from a 1980 Esprit S2 (minor restoration project) to a 1999 Esprit V8. Daily drivers have included an Alfa 164 (great car but too many glitches), Jaguar XJR, Cadillac CTS-V (one of my favorite cars, period.) and a couple of Saab AERO.
SR3's were built as a way for amateur racers to purchase a fully prepped track car that is a shit ton of fun. Most straight line people would have no idea what that is.The Radical was my answer to not driving a street car on the track any longer. Most people look at me and ask "Who makes Radical?", even a fair amoung of raod-course drivers.

pretty bad car, where do you take it? mid-ohio, beaver run, nelson ledges?
Just picked it up in 2008. Did a weekend at Blackhawk Farms, a day on the full track at Autobahn Country Club and a day at Gateway International.
In 2009 we will be at Mid Ohio, Putnam Park, Autobahn, Road Atlanta, VIR, Watkins Glen and Summit Point.

any relation to Dave Pfeffer? works at Jefferson, also restores old cars in Blacklick?
Probably a distant cousin as it's not a real popular last name. Lot of that German side of the family from Virginia.
