There will be a special guest appearance by our very own Stephen Yeoh!!!

This is my fav. auto-x event. Sadly, I have to fill the role of a groomsman that day…

Get married @ the track!!! It just so happens I am an ordained minister of the Universal Church of Life (who isn’t, right?)…

4

:tup:

Glad to hear what ever issues Batavia’s owner was having aren’t going to affect the event.

6

Dude, I’m not getting married, haha, it’s my friend. I am in the wedding, that’s all. I can’t believe I’m going to miss Yeoh too, damnit!

7

WORST NEWS EVER.

I have somewhere to be early afternoon on Saturday, so I might have to bounce around midday :tdown:

8

Damn :frowning: Wish I could get a chance to finally meet him, but I’ll be at Dunnville.

9

I’ll be there!

10

Haha. Stephen loves women, that’s all I’ll say about that.

Oh, and he loves talking.

( But I did see a site of his where he and his team in california outlined his honda, pretty cool )

11

Well, I’ve talked with Stephen over email a few times… he gave me some pointers about Boxster driving back when I first started racing. I remember one of my instructors, when he found out I was talking to Stephen, comment “Oh shit, my fastest student ever instructing one of my fastest students this year. We’re all screwed.”

:bump:

76 and partly sunny. Going to be a great day to autocross.

If you don’t come because you feel like you’re working too much this is the event to come to. Since this event uses a track instead of a parking lot there are only a few cones used and far less work assignments needed. Because of this workers get rotated very quickly and you actually have time to sit and watch the event.

I was having trouble with the directions link on the SCCA registration page (it wouldn’t let me select the point it gives on the map as a destination), but these are the directions from the notes:

  • Take I-90E to Exit 48A
  • Right at light after tolls. Proceed straight until Rt. 5.
  • Turn left Rt. 5 (East)
  • Proceed 8.5 miles until Kelsey Rd., The Willow Bend Inn (on your left) is on the corner of Rt. 5 and Kelsey Rd.
  • Turn left on to Kelsey Rd. proceed over highway.
  • First left after highway is Harloff Rd. Turn Left onto Harloff Rd.
  • Track will be on the right towards the end.

Here’s a working google maps link for the trip from Transit Rd in Buffalo to the cart track:

Haha yeah.

He’s a cool guy to talk to for sure, some girls think he is kind of a creep though. :slight_smile:

I can’t wait to go!

14

You are talking about Stephen and not me, right?

15

:io:

16

dunno, why don’t you guys have a game-off and see who wins?

17

Because we all know who would win…

18

Nice two man circle jerk you guys have going. Want to take it to PM’s or talk about racing?

19

Uh… lighten up? :shrug:

Can’t make it to BIMP this weekend, heading to DC for the pro. Hope everybody has fun and avoids the grass and fence!

Best autocrossing ever is at BIMP. If you haven’t been, or dislike cones go there!
