VSCCA at NJMSP

Mommy was out of town so I decide at the last minute to take the girls up to the VSCCA race at the New Jersey track. I had spoken with Alan Shapiro about it and he said he'd be there so off we went. My buddy was running his Lotus 7 and there were TONS of beautiful cars that you could just walk right up to and stick your face in. I spent most of my time yelling "DON'T TOUCH THAT!!!" to my 6 and 3 year old daughters but we had a blast nonetheless.

I ran across this sweet looking speedster but the owner was nowhere to be found.

Last ones

Ya gotta love those old beauties. Thanks for posting the photos.

Mickey,
Did you not recognize RUBY1 with the meatballs and racing graphics? I am sorry I did'nt get to see you and the girls. I was behind you, working the Information Booth as you came over the bridge onto the track. How did we miss each other? Hope you enjoyed the cars and the races. Next time call my cell.

Looks like a wonderful afternoon. I spent the entire day sitting in a van doing radio field testing. Not my favorite way to spend a Sunday. At least I had A/C, cuz' it hit 92.

Gerd: That dark blue coupe is sweet! You picked a color yet?

YEP

Wish I had known about this, would have been there in a flash. Instead I was trying to explain to Baltimores finest that my car looks and sounds like it is going much faster than it really is. He laughed as he shook his head. He wasnt buying it. Good guy though, let me off with a warning and didnt say a thing about my California registration/plate.

Yes this was a great day with great vintage cars and great weather. Hey Alan it was nice chatting with you and your car is awesome!
Ruby is everything you talked about. You can e-mailme at r.gafni at yahoo.com.

Mickey:

Your daughter, Syd, looks to be almost the same height as Danica Patrick. The biggest difference is that Syd has a smile.......

Still.....I'll NEVER be able to drive as she does!

;>)

Yes Alan, I knew that was Ruby. I was just making a joke. I did look for you but didn't see you either time we walked by.

It was a really nice time. Just Dad and the girls. Of course my older (Tess 6) just wanted to do the inflatable slide and jumpy thing, get her face painted with a princess, etc.... the little one (Sydney 3) kept saying "Daddy, I wanna see the race track. Where are the cars?". God, I love that kid!


Gordon,
If all goes well I may be able someday get Syd in my kart and out on track. :)

Mickey nice pix my freind... Allan, that ride is looking sweet, did you run it there too?

David,
The car was used by the track to promote the VSCCA races. I am a volunteer at the facility,and they asked if I would display the car for the weekend. I did not race the car.

LANE IN ANSWER TO YOUR COLOR QUESTION I HAD TO DEFER TO CARROL FOR THE COLOR AS SHE WANTED ANOTHER SPEEDSTER RATHER THEN THE COUPE
IT JUST GOT BACK FROM THE PAINT SHOP TODAY

I smell photshop.

Gerd, I know we all sometimes make mistakes. You are not going for the IROC Porsche colors of the seventies, are you? Maybe some shag carpet and fuzzy dice there Huggy Bear?

DANNY THAT IS NOT PHOTOSHOP
THAT IS STRAIGHT BACK FROM THE PAINTERS
ILL POST OTHER PICS DURING THE BUILD
THE COLOR BLENDS WELL WITH MY SEATS THAT WE ARE KEEPING FROM THE SPEEDSTER
WHATS UP WITH THE MUGS

Working on boxing them up and pricing. It was a good, long weekend, Monday is a recovery day.

Hey, I was just busting chops a little, you didn't take offense did you?

What color seats are your old ones?

GRAY
NO I DIDNT TAKE OFFENSE
GOTTA LIVE WITH IT

Gordon sez: "Still.....I'll NEVER be able to drive as she does!" Well, maybe not, but you definitely won't look like she does in a swim suit. Good driver, attitude, temper, and, oh my, those voluptuous curves. Oh man!

Holy Crap Gerd!!!!
I can't wait to watch this! That my friend is BLAZIN!!!!

Gerd,

I love it.

Bubble gum. How ya going to butch up that ride?

And if your not pulling our leg, I'd roll it!

Cheers
Dave

Now I GOTTA get to Morro Bay to see that car in the flesh!

YIKES!!!!!

Mickey, those are some great pictures. I think we'll be meeting you at the big acronym next year at least once.
Al, that Ruby's awesome. Will you ever be taking it out onto the track surface, or will it always be trackside while you're volunteering? I'd sure like to see a racer-looking photo!

Gerd, that's absolutely the loudest car ever.
Right on. When's Vince coming to pick it up, and how much did he give you for it?

With the right wheels and gut that will surely be a looker !
~Pinkie Tuscadero

Figures it would be pink you pussy.....If you had a tail, it would be between your legs...

Mary Kay 3fitty6. I'm with Lane and going to Morrow Bay now.

GERD, I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU TOOK MY ADVISE!

I cannot BELIEVE that Gerd took my color! I was going to go Pepto on the Hoopty later this summer. Now I guess I have to come up with something else. Maybe all chrome?

Oh ... My ... Gawd ...
