Mike,

Will you please contact me directly off list regarding this? Thanks.

Uh, that isn't what I want to hear :-(

I will be calling them tomorrow to get the straight scoop on this. If they need to fix something, they have until May 4 to get it right ;-)

I spoke today with Spring Mountain about this. When they paved their new 1.5 mile West addition, they also resurfaced the North/South tracks. The resurfacing had not settled in/dried out fully prior to a scheduled track event. Spring Mountain suggested the event be rescheduled, as the track was not as good as it should have been, but the organizers decided to run on it anyway. Yes it was slippery, and hot tires and soft tar tend to sling stuff here and there. And yes an Elise did catch fire and burn before fire equipment could arrive. But to say the fire was started by flying tar seems to be a bit of a stretch.

I am trying to speak directly with the racer who gave Mike the report, but that hasn't happened yet.

In any case, I was assured the resurfacing has pretty well settled in by now, and surely should be fully cured and worked-in by the time PCNC sponsors our two day event on May 4 & 5.

I will be on that track Saturday. I will let you guys know how it is.

Chris

Ok,
I did not make it on the track. I can't seem to fit in my Diablo with my helmet on, but I asked the other guys and know one had any problems.
Chris

I resemble that, I can't fit if I had lunch.

Diablo? Details, please.

Oh, you know those cars. Overpriced, failed attempt by some Italian coach builder to make a mid engine car that will hold its own thirty five years from now.

Oh. So much hate from Larry TP.

Learn to release!

Yes larry, it sucks real bad. Come to Vegas for the Fun Rally and we can have a little race up the 95.

Chris

Hey is that a kit car!

Just kidding very nice just take out the seat and the helmet won't be a problem.

No silly, it is not a kit car.

But isn't it fiberglass?

Chris, are you feeling the love?

Great looking car, even in 'arrest me officer' yellow.

Larry

Hey Guys,

The car is aluminum except for a steel roof and fiberglass engine cover. The car still weights 3400 pounds(not a light weight). This one is real, but I have nothing against a kit if the owner builds it himself. I still hope everyone makes it to the Fun Rally. I will buy the beer. Larry, I hope when Kirk Evens is done with my Pantera it looks as good as yours.

Feeling Loved,
Chris
