  1. Tri-State endurance sprint

    in Events

    Posted

    Hey everyone-

     

    Looks like we should be a go for Sunday, and I am really looking forward to this run.  13 cars already signed up, just 2 open spots at this point.

     

    A couple notes for this run.

    • Time changes Sunday morning, so don't be late :)
    • Make sure you check tire air pressure, it's going to be a cold start.
      • Extra note, drive within the limits of your tires (talking to you guys that run summer tires ;) )
    • Top off your gas, there are no scheduled stops, although it's only about 50 miles for the run.
    • Get there early if you want to check out Cars and Coffee, attendance has been growing, but the cold might keep numbers down.
    • Radios, 7 sub channel 21
    • Find me the day of if you want the route map GPX file.
    • 10:15 for the drivers meeting, attendance is mandiory
    • 10:30 we roll out

     

    Thanks everyone.  Let us know if you have questions.

    @twakefield Where do you want to cap the attendees at Tom? 

    Cap is set at 15, should already be set. 
     

    Reminder for those of us with summer tires, temps are dropping. I put my winter tires on yesterday to be safe 😃

     

    Can’t wait to see everyone next weekend.

    Removed my seats so I can replace the Harman Kardon subs with the Bavsound Ghost subs. Sounds great, BUT now my airbag light is on :( Anyone have access to a scan tool that can clear it for me?

     

    I typically have a scanner in my trunk.  If you can wait till the Tri-State run I can clear it then.  Or we meet up sooner, but my schedule is a mess for a couple days.

    I was going to say it depends on the date .. because it wasn't until I got to the "Discussion" link that I knew what date it was. (I hadn't heard that MTTB was canceled, but I wasn't planning to attend, so maybe that's why)

     

    I'd plan to be there. I have an afternoon commitment so won't be able to stay at the brewery for long, 

     

    And I am weather contingent. Sorry. No fun to run in the rain ... 

    MTTB is canceled, just asked Corey to update the other thread.

     

    Also going to update that this run will be weather contingent, the run down Chestnut Hill Road is pretty technical, and would be zero fun if it's wet.

     

    Thanks!

    UPDATE:  I think this run is pretty twisty, so lets only do it if it's dry.  The run down Chestnut Hill Road is pretty technical, and would be zero fun if it's wet.  This could end up being 2+ hours if we had to go slow to be safe.

    Hi everyone-

     

    Since MINI's take the Beltway couldn't happen this year, I thought we could come up with something different.  Would anyone be interested in a roughly 90 minute Tri-State route. See the attached map for my rough planed route.  This is longer than the Hop Skip and a Brew style runs, but not quite a full day run.  If requested we could schedule in a pit-stop in Brunswick if everyone doesn't want to run 90 minutes straight.

     

    If we can get 5-15 cars interested I would put on this run.  More details to come if people want to do this run.

    Let me know your thoughts :)
