I still lurk from time to time. Having a baby really changes the equation on free time!
Tried to forward some 4 rotor vids to you last weekend but couldn't find your email addy. Same for Roan. Posted them up on the forum.
Mike - I still vividly remember goading Chris into a display of power in his old MB car going down the FDR. He drove in from Jersey for my bachelor party, bad traffic, temps in untuned ranges... popped the motor. I remember him calling Rich on the side of the road - holding phone up to exhaust and not being pleased with diagnosis..... and so began the 20B!
I have a couple weddings in July/Aug but if I can swing it, I'd like to come up. Anyone let me ride shotgun on the track?!
Best,
John

Glad you popped in. I am 100% going to be at the event this year.
On a side note, I have been practicing! Will PM you a link and you will remember what I was getting into before Chris passed.
I think you may agree that the practice has paid off!
I don't believe you had to goad Chris much when it came to showing off the single turbo kit he built himself!

Theres the front of the shirt that I happened to be wearing today.
If I get to go,I hope people purchase as many raffle tickets as I do.Im saying this because I want to donate/contribute as much as I can but I really dont need most of the stuff @ raffle as I dont own a rotary at the moment.Either way,if possible I look forward on seeing you guys there.

We have another repeat sponsor.... Bryan 'Big Daddy' Nickell of www.BNRSupercars.com has agreed to provide a reduced cost set of his Stage 3 Twin Turbos for the raffle. I'm working on buttering him up in order to get the turbos at a stupid low cost

You're right, actually... all I had to do was say "hmm, that doesn't feel nearly as fast as my old single turbo"... and the rest is history!
I'm doing some legwork on flights up that weekend - is Allentown the closest/most convenient airport to the venue?
Will a flight in early AM put me there in time to be a part of the event?
I saw Rich at the Petit LeMans last year, but for a lot of the rest of you it's been years. Good to catch up and honor Chris' memory.
