COM Sports Car Club

Hey, folks! I haven't had the privilege of joining you at your events for a few years, but I'm looking for some advice from the most knowledgeable people I know. My 2009 Subaru Impreza beater needs some attention from somebody with more knowledge, tools and time than I have. I've taken it to Citysid...

Try a search. You'll get 8 pages, going back to 2005.

Woohoo! The last time we held a Relay Rally was in June 1994, the year that I was president of the club and the first year we ran at Mt. Tremblant. I was on the winning team in that event, and you can bet I'll do my best to get into this one! Thanks, BOD!

I think that F1 video may have been sped up a bit - check out the guy walking across pit lane at ~ 0:49. Still, the speed differential is amazing!

Matt, if you're looking to become a COM instructor, you'll definitely have to talk to Will Martins, our Chief Instructor. It's his job to determine whether you're qualified. The cut-off date for the July NHIS event is coming up this week, so you'd better get this resolved (one way or the other) righ...

From the descriptions you guys have given, it seems highly doubtful that Monticello could ever host an F1 race, let alone by 2012. This story, however, does make the track (and the club) internationally known. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8697770.stm It's interesting that o...

LOL!! Right you are, Kai - it's time and money that limit my participation!

We've had a few TTs over the years. It should be a good track car, especially in the rain, though you might find that it understeers a bit in dry conditions. You shouldn't need an accusump or any other modification; just make sure it's in good shape mechanically (especially tires, brakes, suspension...

Ah, true seat-of-the-pants driving! Sounds like fun! Seriously, I hope to see you and your vintage racer. It's been a while!

You're welcome, Marcus. If you're going to be at the Oct/Nov event, you can pay me back with a ride in your car. I'll bring my helmet visor this time - when I drove Jonathan's car, I found out that those bits of OPR really sting!

Hey Marcus, Dave Burden is currently Vice President of the Sports Car Club of New Hampshire. You can get his phone number and email address from their web site, http://www.sccnh.org. Good luck with the movie!

One other thing you should be aware of, since this will be your first time with us. In order to participate in the time trials, you must be signed off as "safe to solo" by your instructor. If, as you indicate, you have other DE experience, there's a good chance you can get signed off, but ...

Somebody please take the camcorder out of your car and record those sessions. I'd love to hear that music!
