+1 haha. I bought another FD just to drive to this in case mine's still not done.

 

+1. I personally feel a cruise around NJMP is counterproductive.

You know for a fact that when individuals go these cruises, people don't just "cruise" - everyone wants to have their fun and go racing around on public roads. One of the main reasons we decided to have this event at the track is to promote legal and safe driving ON the racetrack, NOT on public roads. On top of the fact that if people do go out on the roads around NJMP and get in an accident/get pulled over for speeding, that wouldn't necessarily look too good for the organizers of this event.

Conclusion: if you can't afford $200/day for a track day, then don't speed on public roads b/c you can't afford a $200 ticket for speeding.

 

I'll try to make it this year.

 

Forgot to mention that people who want to get on track as John Renna stated: Scrub aka Danny Mac will be tracking his beast and wants to try and give as many people as possible ride alongs. Also I believe Mr. Renna himself might be able to give a ride along or two.

Kills 2 birds w/ one stone: you get on track plus you are able to learn some driving techniques from two great drivers.

I'm not gonna have my rx7 track ready, but I am definitely going to try to get to this event to hang out & have some fun either way. Here's hoping my schedule works out.

 

Thanks for doing that Marc, much appreciated

Awesome, hope to see you guys there

 

T-shirts look great. Just made reservations at the VIP suites at the track. Not much more than hotels off track.

Thanks guys, keep 'em coming . I'll update the paid list shortly.

Also, as she has done in the past, Chris' mother Judie has generously donated funds to be used to buy some awesome car parts. She has great taste, and asked me to order the following goodies for the raffle:

* '99 spec front lip
* Rotary Performance Competition fuel pump
* FD Tein H-tech springs

All parts came from Rotary Performance | Yes, it’s fast., one of the sponsors of the event. It's looking like the raffle is going to be the best one we've seen yet

 

In addition to the Facebook event I put together for a cruise/tailgate to the meet I'm working on another project as well. I’m hoping to have it completed by this weekend.

I need your help.

Anyone who has pictures and or videos from the past Carlisi meets/bbqs I could really use them. If the files are too big just shoot me an e-mail and we can set something up.

If you want to e-mail them to me I can receive them at Ferrari.Marc@gmail.com. I can also take them off Facebook, Photobucket or any other image sites if you give me the links. Any help you can provide to differentiate between the years of the pictures would be greatly appreciated.

 

I love me some rafflin. lol. assuming the raffle will be like it was two years ago? you get as many prizes as you win in the raffle and don't get vettod for more than one win. (happened at a raffle once)
