Cabell's registration brings us to 15 MMers racing on Sunday! Needless to say, I'm looking forward to this :thumbup:

***SlimKlim*** · 10-01-2009, 09:13 PM

My parents are officially meeting us up there to watch.

**xvxax** · 10-01-2009, 09:39 PM

So pumped for Sunday. Have to work a half-day Saturday but my car is already packed and ready.

Dave · 10-01-2009, 09:45 PM

Make it 16 at the last minute thanks the MM alumni email system.
Signed up to drive the luxobarge, but if anybody is interested in letting me co-drive I would be eternally grateful (PM me). Either way, I'm in.

***Jake*** · 10-01-2009, 10:02 PM

...and Adam and his girlfriend Daisy are signed up. Now we're at 18.

Holy shit, this is gonna be great!

DavidM · 10-01-2009, 10:13 PM

Biggest turnout ever!?!? I'm especially pumped to see fairly equal numbers of students and alumni!

**Goodspeed** · 10-01-2009, 10:18 PM

Sounds like a good opportunity to get a little club photo op in

kcook · 10-02-2009, 12:59 AM

D_Eclipse9916 · 10-02-2009, 11:51 AM

wow almost 20 alone in registration for Madison Motorsports. Pretty impressive. Does anyone have a portable grill? Some good ole hotdogs and hamburgers would be nice for all the people instead of us all going to a restaurant.

Former commuter has a question...Rockingham lot, is that the one just off 81 on Port Republic at the Exxon/Subway?

Its too bad we won't be around, but what a great turnout you all are going to have. I'm really excited to see the club showing up at an event like this.

***Jake*** · 10-04-2009, 07:10 PM

We're back (and I'm exhausted) - and I had another friggin' awesome day. Madison Motorsports had 18 people - including Dr. Thomas - drive today! VERY pleased with the turnout of students and alumni... there were several newbies who all did a fantastic job of staying on course, not plowing (too many) cones, etc.

I let Chris, one of our new guys, co-drive the Miata... and we both gave it everything we had. After all was said and done, he beat me (in my own car) by 0.084 seconds... so a re-match is necessary there Big Grin

Dave brought his 525i out... his response to how it performed on track? "......plush."

Cabell and Evan both brought out their Passats for some 1st-time AX action. They can tell their own stories, but the highlight of my day was standing at my worker station and seeing a white Passat wagon go by, with 5 MMers inside :thumbup:

So... new guys, how was it?! Big thanks to Ray Schumin and the BRR-SCCA crew for putting on another great event as always. Much as I thought the season was winding down... I'm also wondering if we can fit one more event in, somehow. We'll see.

was great seeing some old faces and meeting a bunch of new ones today. Kudos to all the first timers and I was really impressed with how much of a presence MM had at the event. I miss does these more often...

Okay, here is the first batch of pictures. Thanks to Dave Lingenfelter for taking pictures while I was driving. Mick should have more soon.

Thanks MM for the support. We do have one more event this year at the Salem Civic Center on November 1. It is a great lot and less than a 2 hour drive down 81 from JMU

DavidL · 10-04-2009, 08:42 PM

Awesome, awesome day! What a great turnout for MM! David and I were actually talking to a guy from CCVT during our work session it came up how many members we had out there- he was blown away that we had that many people there! I think that says a lot about the club, the alumni and the effort of the officers! Well done!

That being said- had a blast thrashing the WRX yet again, and it was fun to have a co-driver this time! Good to beat Flint, but also great to have some times out ahead to shoot for (Tyson, as usual and Kyle). And thanks for the ridiculous ride along Kyle- and 16G lust...

Some pictures--

What an absolute blast today!!! Very happy and proud to attend my very first Auto Cross event!! I think this weekend was an absolute success! Perfect weather for a MM wrench day and cruise on Saturday, and plenty of current member and alumni to come out and represent the club for the auto x in Verona! A great event btw for newer members to get to know some of the alumni as well as see some familiar faces.I hope everyone had a great time, because I certainly know I did! Like many of you the highlight of my day was shuttling 4 other MM members around in the Grocery Getter!!
