    LeMans 2011... who can give guidance?

    I'm planning to be there. Who was there last year and can offer planning advice? I'll probably do a week of bicycling in Loire with my wife b4 the race. How many days did you gents spend at the track in LeMans and is there plenty for the wife to do? Did most rent a car in Paris and drive to...

    Rally 6....

    Are the dates in stone? Are the dates certain? I can go ahead and lock these in with partners IF it's a definite.

    Instead of Zaino... I suggest

    I've got to farm out washing and waxing of my FGT (and other sets of wheels). I've always used Zaino but its a little complicated to explain to a detail guy. I can have the detailing done WITHOUT turning the keys over the detailer. So what other products have you gentlemen settled on when...

    ALMS coverage this past weekend

    Watched the ALMS race at Elkhart this weekend. Wasn't at least 1 FGT running? I thought the TV coverage was an example of incredibly inept marketing. Unless you're really on the fence about whether your next purchase will be an LMP prototype, forget about seeing a car that you have any...

    Grudge match karting

    Hope there is a planned event, but couldn't find any stated time/date in the posted agenda. So I took the liberty of suggesting Friday since I've a feeling Wed & Thur may prove to be very full days with all puppies worn out at quittin' time. And I wouldn't want to cut into anyone's...

    Grudge match karting

    I've checked with the guys that run the kart track and they've opined that a coupla diet sodas onboard in your bladder should suffice for putting things aright should a fire break out. They seem to think the quick discharge will auto-activate.

    Grudge match karting

    C'mon, there have to be some other guys that are interested in trading paint, uh.., rubber, on the kart track.

    Grudge match karting

    So how many Rally guys are intending to kart at VIR? I have never been in a kart, but this looks like a great way to have a tremendous amount of fun without bending some VERY expensive sheet metal and incurring the wrath of Shadowman. Since most of us will want all our seat time to be in our...

    FGT Rally V - Registration!

    Dear DBK, what's the itinerary so far? I've mailed the fee since paypal seemed unhappy with me. I'm planning the days taking wife's desires into account. Is it correct that Wed and Thurs we have the entire track for the entire day? And does it therefore make sense that karting would be a...

    Rally 5 Hotel - The Umstead

    The Umstead says they have no covered parking for any cars. Is this correct? Any plans for nightime out of any potential rain?

    How do you safely park your FGT?

    My fully Shadowmanized FGT is dead gorgeous with NO dings on doors or anywhere! I drive it (6000+ miles) but I'm careful with where I leave it. How many of you routinely take 2 parking places at restaurants (not all places need or have valet option) and has anyone ever had 'revenge' or...

    Lamest reason for a drive in the GT

    I refuse to lose sleep worrying about the asphalt in my drive buckling up, so I routinely massage it flat with those monster rear tires. Best results are obtained by rolling in 1 direction and then after an hour on a twisting backroad simply return and roll in the opposite direction. Works...
