5-7/8/10 Title: Re: ALMS Mid-Ohio Post by: Boorish Grobian on August 01, 2010, 08:04:28 am Kirsten & I will be there for the weekend, any others from our motley mob going to be at Mid-Ohio? ALMS, the Indycars and all of their respective support series. Always a good weekend.
Fax Title: Re: ALMS Mid-Ohio Post by: Hardpoint on August 04, 2010, 12:57:56 am I'll be there, camping Friday and Saturday night. I'll try to remember to pack the CA flag JPC gave me.
Title: Re: ALMS Mid-Ohio Post by: Boorish Grobian on August 04, 2010, 02:29:29 am Hey HP,
We'll be there all day Sat. & Sunday, but not camping, staying with my cousin in Ashland, about twenty miles north of Mid-Ohio. Which campground are you in? Be great to catch up for a beer or two. John Title: Re: ALMS Mid-Ohio Post by: Hardpoint on August 04, 2010, 03:32:43 am We're camping at the track, right up at the top of the keyhole back along the trees. We'll probably spend a good deal of time down between turn 7 & 8 or up towards turn 11 on Saturday, maybe some towards Thunder valley. Most of us are leaving before the IRL race on Sunday. I'll be driving my maroon Toyota Tacoma which has an ALMS sticker on the rear window and 8-10 drunken dumb asses hanging out of the bed. ;D
Title: Re: ALMS Mid-Ohio Post by: Boorish Grobian on August 04, 2010, 04:10:48 am You guys should be easy enough to find, Saturday I'll have on a dark gray 2010 Sebring t-shirt and a Cinicnnati Reds cap. The Mrs will have a black & gold, Renault-Robert Kubica cap. We usually spend a good bit of time on the hillside between turn 1 and the backstraight, or out by the turn 11-thunder valley area.
The weather looks fricking gorgeous for the weekend. http://www.weather.com/outlook/events/sports/weekend/USOH0549 See you there, Fax Title: Re: ALMS Mid-Ohio Post by: Dave H on August 04, 2010, 05:17:24 pm John - I was hoping I could make a quick jaunt up for this, but it's looking a bit dodgy I'm afraid. If plans change I'll deffo let you know!
Title: Re: ALMS Mid-Ohio Post by: Boorish Grobian on August 04, 2010, 06:02:47 pm Hey Dave, would be great if you could make it over, had a blast catching up at Sebring, and I know Kirsten would love to see you again. She's got some nice little battle scars from Sebring to show off ;D
John Title: Re: ALMS Mid-Ohio Post by: Dave H on August 06, 2010, 04:23:35 am I remember her limping around in the dark hours under my assistance. Hope she's all fit for duty again!
I was going to stuff Stephen in the back of the Road Toad and hyperspace my ass up I70 on Sat am but I've got a commitment I can't bail on. Sorry! I'll drop you a line to catch up. Sebring is shaping up nicely but I wouldn't write off the Petit either. Rich and Nick are deffo coming over from the Uk so it's gonna be serious business in Florida Title: Re: ALMS Mid-Ohio Post by: Boorish Grobian on August 06, 2010, 06:42:00 pm Shame you can't make Dave, would've been a fine way to introduce the little guy to Mid-Ohio. Kirsten's a lot more mobile than last you saw her, new/pre-owned ACL, but she still walks like a duck ;D We're deffo on for the Petit & Sebring next March.
I'll knock back a few of the evil dark beverages on top of the keyhole tomorrow for you ;) John Title: Re: ALMS Mid-Ohio Post by: Doris on August 09, 2010, 12:08:14 pm We're deffo on for the Petit & Sebring next March. John Fax , Is that Petit this year you're talking about? Dx Title: Re: ALMS Mid-Ohio Post by: Boorish Grobian on August 09, 2010, 03:44:33 pm Hi Doris, yes, I'm on for the Petit this year, and every year. My favorite race of the calendar (Road Atlanta is the best spectating venue I've ever been to)
Mid-Ohio was great fun, even the Indycars put on a good show. The perfect weather helped draw a big crowd, and as usual the ALMS Saturday attendance was larger than the crowd on Sunday for the IRL. Fax Title: Re: ALMS Mid-Ohio Post by: Doris on August 10, 2010, 03:17:38 am In that case, I'll see you there. ;D
Dx Title: Re: ALMS Mid-Ohio Post by: Boorish Grobian on August 10, 2010, 06:11:13 am Terrific news Doris! Look forward to catching up with you, hope all's well in the winter down south.

We spent almost the entire afternoon Saturday down between turns 6 &7 at the base of the Honda bridge. Maybe we'll meet up at Petit. Title: Re: ALMS Mid-Ohio Post by: Boorish Grobian on August 11, 2010, 12:29:52 am Hi HP, likewise, sorry we didn't hook up. We had a bunch of relatives that came down from Ashland and met up with us, some of which had never been there before, so we ended having to give them the full tour of the circuit, made it almost impossible to strike off on my own and find you guys. By the time the ALMS race ended Saturday afternoon my butt was dragging, had been from the Keyhole to the Carousel (and everywhere in between) about three times. We were up in turn one when Drayson went flying off the road, good thing there's a hell of a lot of runoff there...
We'll see you at Road Atlanta, Fax Title: Re: ALMS Mid-Ohio Post by: chop456 on August 11, 2010, 08:28:28 am I'm beginning to think you don't really exist. ;D
