It's HOT outside.... but this month's course is even hotter!

Messr Bibbee has drawn up a monster course of twisties for our return to Mineral Wells after a 4 month hiatus.   We'll have plenty of refreshments on hand.. be sure to bring your suncscreen, a hat, and/or  an umbrella.... and don't forget your " A " game  :-)

I'll be there; hopefully with anti-nausea goodies at the ready!

Have a good one,

I'm hoping to make it, but I may have a conflict.  Either way- last time at TMS I left a navy blue folding chair...Coleman I think, but I can't remember.  I had to leave early because of my car troubles.  It was navy blue with mesh cupholders in the arm rests.  If anyone picked it up, could you let me know so I can arrange retreival?

Thanks!

The Fairs will be there with the E30 (sporting new suspension, tires, and race seats) and Dean Yamada's C5 FRC complete with prototype AST 4100s. It rides sooo gooood. It is hard to believe how much better it rides. You must ride in one of these cars, you'll be amazed.

V8 car is stripped down for paint, new headers and hopefully a new cam and CF hood maybe?

Let's just say this course MAY set a new longest-course-EVER record!

Also, thanks to Gabby Garner for a suggestion that will provide a whole-new-experience...

I'd rather be autocrossing...

What are ASTs: new shock package for C5s?  Gonna be really interesting to see your opinions on C5s (don't ever remember the Fairs in anything other than Bimmers).

See 'ya Saturday,

Yes, we made shocks for C5/C6s. The intent is to make a full inverted shock coilover kit. This set is a prototype just to get our feet wet. The Fairs have actually owned C4s and a C6 many moons ago.

Just back from a 2500 mile road trip.  Will get 6 hours of sleep and be ready to party tomorrow.  Setting an extra alarm clock just in case.
