The Mt Washington Hillclimb was very cool last year - well worth a run.
Always wanted to visit Series 900 in Sunapee, I'd be in for that as well.
Kangamangus is ALWAYS good.
Lime Rock - in my mind I'm already there.

Excellent! I like the idea of longer runs to far away places. We can certainly fill every weekend from April - Nov., Oh, better check that with the other half! Thanks for the input.
I like the Mt. Washington hillclimb idea- anyone have a date for that.

regards,
Paul

Sebring is coming up at the end of the month for HSR. Flights are cheap and the beer is cold!

Its unlikely that all of the cars would break down at once........we would only need 1 dizzy, 1 CD box, 1 wire set,wheel bearing,battery jump pack,fuel line and fuses. Lets go@!

I finally have heat so I'm in for the early morning starts. The last run was a wake up call that I needed to break down and buy the heat backdate tins.
18 degrees when I left my house that AM . Man what was I thinking?

Seems like some of you guys are starting to come out of hibernation, time for me to get my maps out and get these runs planned.

Ready, set, go!
Sat. March 22nd
Quabbin Reservoir (requested by the "ticketmeister" himself!)
Weather may still be a little iffy, but if we don't plan it ain't happening.
Details of meeting place will be announced, some of us southern boys should cruise up
together.
It will be a long day so we will plan a lunch stop along the run!

regards,
Paul

Okay - one I may be a part of. Much closer to my neck of the woods. Grew up in Ware. I may be gone for business that weekend, if not I'll try to become part of the planning process. Either 9 to 202 or 122 to 202 to 32 are all good. Or a loop can be planned to start out on 9, through part of the Quabbin (low speed state reservoir land inside the park) up 202 to New Salem and then back around to 122. Lots of good roads, couple spots for speed traps, especially where 32 splits from 122 in Petersham, speed limit goes from 50 to 25 for 1/4 mile then back up.

Breakfast could be had in Sturbridge on the way out.

Hey Jim,
I would like to do a full brake freshen-up. Braided lines, new pads, rotors and fluid. Was going to tackle it myself but would love some help, got any time?

Jack.

Jim, I've been so busy with work that I haven't gotten to any of my 911 projects over the winter. I am doing the whole front and rear set, just have to find the time. Do you have any experience with Appbiz vs AI as far as quality?

Run to Hershey, PA

Jim Logan and I are trying to put together a caravan run to the PCA Swap Meet on Apr. 26. We would leave on Fri. night, grab breakfast when we arrive, meet up with some of the rgruppe guys, hit the swap meet, find the parts, and boogie on home. Imagine the "breakfast club" actually having breakfast, my treat!

That would be cool. I'd like to join in on the fun. I don't need any parts, (knock on wood), but the ride would be a good time.
