    You should attend the Jefferson 500 at Summit Point

    I'm not doing a full race schedule thread this year because it didn't seem too relevant for E30 guys, but I will say this year's Jefferson 500 at Summit Point looks to have a lot of good racing in store. Take a look at the cars in the run groups so far: http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.c...63AA3A353F6715

    We're bringing at least 5 cars, including the Cortina:


    A Ginetta G4:


    And three Elva 200 Formula Juniors!





    I'll be sharing the Cortina all weekend, but I'm super excited to be in such a competitive sedan group!

      I'll be doing a HPDE at the Shenandoah track on Saturday. I'll see if I can drop by.

        Looks like a blast, I am on the wrong side of the country though. :-P

          Please do! We may be busy working on something but I'm happy to chat between prep!

          Just as a teaser, here's a video I took last year "guest driving" in the IMSA/SCCA under 2.5L race. I pitted early to keep from wearing out the tires/brakes for the driver using it most of the weekend:

                Thanks! Yeah, some of the guys have a sense of humor in that regard. I've also seen, "My hapless wife" and "My own bloody knuckles" at past events. :p

                    Sweet!

                    We finished the Cortina yesterday, which leaves only two formula juniors and possibly this Lotus 41 before we're ready to go!



                    Based on the times last year, it looks like the Cortina should be right in the thick of things in the 5-10th place range! Too early to be so excited!

                        Haha, looks like you're pretty close! We'll be staying in Winchester at the Holiday Inn right off the highway.

                          Looks like despite my best efforts, the white formula junior will not be attending but will be replaced with this:

                            We still have two days left, but the Cortina and the G4 are FLYING so far! Looking forward to the IMSA reunion race tomorrow afternoon!
