Cruise to Point Lookout State Park in Maryland to do some BBQ'ing/swimming/fishing for Sunday September 7th, this weekend.
There is a service fee of $6 non-resident and $5 resident per person. Children in baby seats are free. I'd like to meet up at 9 AM so we will have ample time to get to the park in case it fills up.
For the NoVa people we are meeting at the Hard Times Cafe parking lot in Springfield at 9 AM.

It's the third, or fourth, or whatever, Mach V Track Day! We're sponsoring a NASA HPDE weekend at Summit Point, WV. Mach V customers, friends, and fans will have a special paddock area where we can all hang out. We'll have some special goodies to give away.
The date: October 11-12, 2008.
There are groups for drivers of all experience levels, from full-on racers, to rank novices. Anyone can drive. I'll be driving my '07 MINI.
Had several people inquire about getting into the sport and codriving while I was at Rally WV last month. Am hoping to see new mid-atlantic rally teams racing in the forest soon and sharing in on the fun. So I've obtained permission to use the classroom at Summit Point Motorsports Park the weekend of the SCCA rallyX school, SCCA rallyX and Bolivian rallysprint. Sounds like a rally weekend extravaganza.
While the seminar's focus will be codriving, future or novice drivers without pacenoting experience will gain the knowledge of how to give the precise instructions to their codriver during recconassiance to be able to drive quicker and safer during the rally.
Plan to start with basics of codriving (codriver duties, equipment, staying comfy in the car, timing, scorecards, routebooks, rally odo computer, ...) needed to get a new codriver can get any driver to the rally finish.
Then, advanced codriving (tricks of the trade I've learned, movement plan, going faster).
Finally, for drivers and codrivers; stagenotes and finally pacenoting. Maybe some in-car video of good and bad notes and calls to show how its done and how not to do it yourself if I can get the audio-visual sorted.
Will provide each student photocopied printouts of the seminar for you to refer back to, an actual movement plan, checklist, some Jemba stage notes and copies of several different styles of pacenotes.
If there is interest, I may stick around Sunday for some practical pacenoting exercise (mock recee driving slowly, driver calling what he sees, codriver writing it and my input and tips on both). Or, me calling the rallyX course for you in precise fake English accent.
Cost is $75/person if 4 or less people show up, $50/person if there are more than 5 people attend. Sunday by appointment. Bring your potential teammates (driver or codriver) so you begin on the same page knowing what to expect... [Read More]
I got an email from Mike Deal at Rockville Mitsu. I've bought a lot of stuff from them for my 3000GTs. Here's what he said:
Quote:
I wanted to say hello. My name is Mike Deal and I'm the Service and Parts Director at Rockville Mitsubishi. I was wondering if your club would be interested in having a rally or open house at our dealership?
Were not normally open in service on Saturdays but would consider if your
interested in attending our event. We could offer door prizes and possibly food if we could coordinate a strong attendance. Let me know what you think.
Last time I was there to pick something up, one of the salesmen heard the open cutout and came outside. I was like crap, here comes a sales pitch. He just said "I knew I heard an evo! That sounds badass!". Then asked about mods, do I race it, all that kind of stuff.
I know someone else who used to do about $25k a year worth of business with Rockville for their clients. Rockville also extended the offer to the 3000GT club as well, so we might get 2 mitsu groups out there.
Post up if you're interested and I'll try to organize it and let Mike know.
