I will start one of my favorite tracks has 100% new paving on it for us to work with!


May 6-7 2023 MVP Track Time I am in and registered

Mark runs a good event. This will be my 4th season with his group at RA. The Redeye will be more than ready!!

Who else is in, or when is anyone planning to drive one of the best tracks in the USA for a Challenger to have a good chance of doing well?

I'd love to go, but I think next year I'll focus on autox with my car at events with Garrett and his shifter kart. Maybe I'll drive the shifter kart too but that might be hard on this body that is starting to feel older.

Last time I drove a cart, I felt like I had been in a fight! My ribs were bruised and my kidneys were ready to explode.

The MAC club locally has an autox more than once per month. We will also likely go to a couple of divisional and national tour events in prep for the Solo Nationals again next Fall.
I may also do a few events with Morgans with my car.
Other than that we need to figure out our right seat schedule for next year. I passed my MSF Level 2 in October so once that is official I want to see what other clubs I can work with.

It looks pretty violent. My son wears an old padded shirt I used to wear as a goalkeeper even for the local indoor kart races.

Well I am going to buy new rubber for the big boat now that it won’t destroy itself and try to get some good lap times next year. Probably won’t go to BIR due to their new communist rules (no riders because they won’t relax the stupid Covid rules- BULLSHIT), and what they did to the Vette club (asked for 3X their fees). Greedy bastards can suck wind. RA has become my new favorite venue. May do it a couple times and even return to MO, due to a lot of new friends down there also. Then just enjoy my Challenger on the street and at shows.

With the Audi and Porsche club events at Brainerd this year we had passengers without issue.

See that’s bullshit the school won’t let that happen. I’ll be talking to you about those events next year. Thanks!

One more session today. Did one with the Pirelli tires because it was wet. Just did one with the big Cup 2’s, but it is fairly chilly. Have a good dyno picture of part of a final lap just as we went under the checkered flag. Good entertainment.

Haggerty Garage is about 1/2 full today.
