Looking for southeast open wheel test day

[Agitator]

All,
Picking up a new (to me) car next week. Need some seat time. If anyone is planning a test day over the next few months in the southeast and has space available, PM or email (jamesbrookshire4@gmail.com) me. Roebling, CMP...heck, pretty much anywhere within 400-500 miles of western North Carolina.

Thanks!
James

I saw that on the calendar. Unfortunately, will be 1000 miles north of there for Thanksgiving!

Would your car qualify as vintage? There is a Vdca event at Roebling in early December.

You can always check out the The FIRM outside of Starke, FL, it is right at 450 miles.

James,
Have you called CMP? They seem to have track days most weekends and often have an open wheel group if there at any open wheel cars.

PS.. What'd you get? Hard to believe you'd be driving anything other than an Agitator .

CMP is certainly an option, just hoping for a smaller group.

The Agitator isn't going anywhere (may even do one of the birthday events)...but I spent WAY too much time working on and fixing 60+ year old technology this year. You've seen, first hand, that I didn't inherit the engineer gene. I had an opportunity fall in my lap a couple weeks ago that I couldn't turn down. I've bought Randel Sink's FE2, and am getting significant support (shameless plug) from RG NETS (rgnets.com) for the 2023 season...tried to remind my dad that he once left FV for spec racing!

wow.. cool.
Good luck - that's a pretty tough class, but much easier to 'stand out' than SRF.

The OW group at CMP is generally quite small... l like 2 or 3 cars often.. hardly ever more than 6 or 7. They like having an OW group because it gives a bread for all those fendered cars they run.

Congrats! You'll enjoy the leap in technology.

Yeah, SRF wasn't really on my radar. It'll be a tough transition ,for sure, but looking forward to focusing on driving a little more this year. While I'll appreciate the increased speed, I won't forget what it's like to have to drive in your mirrors!

Congrats! You'll enjoy the leap in technology.

Thanks, Dan! I'm sorry we didn't re-connect after meeting on the grid at VIR. It turned into a very busy week! Hoping to return next year. If you're there, I'll treat you to a beer and a burger one night!

You're welcome. They kept me pretty busy with all the shenanigans on the track and in the tech shed....
We will see if I can come out next year. The FE community is pretty helpful.
