Do you allow bonfires and skinny dipping in your backyard?

I do have a fire pit :) We sometimes cook steak over the open fire , it tastes better than the gas grill , But Scott you have to be invited first . :lol: You can swim int the pond, but I wouldn't go skinny dipping -- theres a lot of snapping turtles, you could lose something very dear to you :oops: I only have the pool open from July 4th to Labor Day.

Seriously -- I have a large field that you could camp in (along with anybody else in the club) also my driveway has a set of "Ss" and a 90drgree left hander but you can only get up to about 60 in it but its still good practice. Lets hope the new track go through. :D

We have a pool, and a pond. The pond would be good for you. :)

Scott --- I have to confess to you :oops: -- as a fellow Mustang owner --- that I bought a Corvette. Its a 1993 C4 that Nelson Dupuis had. He only drove it once last year at Lime Rock , I still plan on using the Mustang at NHIS in Aug. but I am going to try the Corvette at WGI Aug. 27 & 28 with The Audi Club. 8)

Is Nelson stopped doing this, or is he getting another car?

Hi Jonathan;

Nelson has stopped for awhile, he says he will be back in a few years especially if the Palmer track opens. He lives just 10 minutes to the East of the track. Right now he needs the garage space for his new car.

Corvettes, ponds and snapping turtles- what the hell is going on around here?
:lol:

60 mph in the driveway- sounds like a challenge to me. Any runoff area should we decide to do a Raj?

The run off is steep down hill full of trees -- but Raj should be able to fit between them but I don't think his car will :lol:

We could set up an oval in the field and just turn left \:D/
