Ohio meets, greets and other things we waste time on

Autocross someone ELSE's car? This might be fun.

Depending upon how Friday pans out, a definite maybe

I do have drill that day, but I am trying to get out early enough to make it up there.

As a bonus one of the P car clubs is doing a track day. FanFest Schedule: 4 p.m. Gates open 4 – 4:30 p.m. Porsche Club of America on track 4 – 7 p.m. Autocross Competition 5 – 6 p.m. Pace Car Rides ($10 donation) 6:15 – 7 p.m. Parade Laps 7 – 7:45 p.m. Pace Car Rides ($10 donation) I am going to try and get up there with my boys.

It is quite possible that I could structure this Friday to end my day in Mansfield.

Website said: An autocross competition puts fans (18+ years old with a valid driver’s license) in a brand new 2013 Acura ILX on a short course through the track’s middle paddock.

A quick glance at the Acura website shows that the only manual trans for the ILX is with the bigger engine and Premium Package. It is possible that it may not be an automatic trans (but i expect it will be.)

John I wonder if it comes with the Kumho girls?

I will be there with three kids in tow if anyone else is growing to swing by.

As it stands, I am going. My schedule is free enough.
I think I will focus on the Autocross and parade laps in my own Miata.
If you are there too, say hi. I will look a lot like this guy, w/o the young seat cover next to me and in my own red Miata.

Yes, I wonder if Kuhmo girls will be offered at this event too!

I just got loaded up so probably not going to make it

I will be in my wife's Merc minivan, see you there.

Hey fellow Ohio GRMer's. I know there are some Honda haters on here, but this is a rare and stock Si. Not mine: http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/3781138859.html

I may e-mail about. But I also wanted to pass it along.

Wow, that almost looks too good to be true.

EDIT: Aaaaaaand the ad is already down. Hope somebody here got it! I don't wanna see it on high street with a pep boys wing and cut springs!

See you in a bit.

The property has multiple fields, a creek, and a huge fantastic pond set off the road in a woods. The roads are some of the best in the country. I am thinking June for a date. Who's in?

Is there a preferred weekend for this event?

I am still in Boston but pushing the idea again.

I'd totally be down for something. I've been wanting to do roads down there, my dad rides his Harley that way a few times per year and says the roads are awesome.

I prefer a weekend I am not busy.

As long as it is not this weekend: June 14-16, 2013

I vote 29th-30th. (gives me more time to assemble my car)

Is this a done deal, I am good for the 29th/30th

I don't think there's an autocross that weekend, so count me in.

I should be free then.

I'd like to go... I'll post again after I check my autocross/work schedule (the only problem with work having an autocross team... your hobby and your work co-pollinate... often in ways that aren't happy).

It's looking like I'll be able to make it!! I won't have the spyder done by then though. :-( I'll have something to drive of course. Now to see if the wifey wants to go...

Sweet, that seems to be enough to confirm and tie down the weekend as the date for this, I will be going down Friday night. All are welcome, bring the families as well.

This will be driving on streets with other traffic so be safe guys and girls.

Hm, looking again, there's an autocross on the 30th. I still may try to get down there on the 29th, depending on what's going on here, just remembered my niece will be staying with us through that time.

Going to the cruise-in in Beavercreek tonight after work. Probably 630pm going straight there. Anyone? Lofino's
