The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

Will thats exactly what they looked like except w/o clips and were glued on instead. Fail!

Out for menchies, I'll be en route to TN on a seat that's smaller than my ass. Should be interesting.
 
My Hawks didn't have anything like that one the back. Strange.

And +1 on Applebee's. Not a fan. I'm not a food snob but I have not been impressed with Texas longhorn/ Applebee's/fridays/etc lately.

CMH (Columbus), CAK (Akron-Canton), and CLE (Cleveland) are all within about 2 hours from Mid-Ohio or less. Cincinnati is probably within the 5 hour range. My wife got to meet Patrick Dempsey last year which of course made her year so now she comes each year to the race lol.

to further that, (PIT) Pittsburgh is about 3-3.5ish out from Mid-Ohio, just throwing another option out there as well

Marlon made the mistake of mentioning Patrick Dempsey so the wife is most likely coming. I think it would be easier if we stayed at a hotel if she does come. But thank you for the offer, I will keep it in mind if I come alone.

What are the major airports that a near there (within 5 hours) Just looking at tickets it you arewould cost me $800ish to fly into Cleveland. I dont mind driving the price will be significantly cheaper. =) I was thinking Chicago, or Phili. Havent really looked at those options yet though.

Cres look into flying into Cleveland or Akron. We rent a cabin near the track. Let me know when you guys a ready to confirm

Now that you mention it the pads I bought a few years later for the Neon didn't either. Who knows. If I have time later I'll try and find rotor carnage pics lol

To whoever mentioned the hawk pads rattling, have you taken the wheel off and inspected them?? Reason I say this is because my HP+ on the Miata had some issues and I wasn't the only one. People claimed they never heard any noise but I call major BS. The backing plate came unglued on mine and started digging into the [turning] rotor. You can imagine what that started to do... Cut the rotor in half. The guy who claimed he didn't hear metal on metal contact actually had the backing plate cut ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE ROTOR! Check em to be sure!

I've had it looked at twice and both people couldn't find anything wrong when they looked at the brakes.
 
So this BeaveRun thing is DEFINITELY still happening tomorrow?

I dont want to drive 2hours only to be the only guy to show up... I know how hard it is for a group of people to keep a commitment.

I also noticed it's called PittRaceway or something, but that IS the same "BeaveRun" track I presume

Lastly, I dont know "who" I'm looking for, but if you'll keep an eye out for my Black MX-5 pulling in, I'd appreciate it. What name is the reservation under?

Thanks, Ben 44o-477-6o70

YES

If you want to meet up at First Watch in Mayfield with us (by 6am) and drive out together, you are welcome to. Myself (Jon) and my coworkers/friends (Adam and Dave) will be there to grab a quick bite and head out. We'll be driving out in my speed6.

 
I'm not quite sure you grasp the concept of the Menchies night, man. It was a casual thang started by a couple of friends. If you can make it, cool. If not, no big deal and we can maybe shoot for next friday. You're making it sound like we're a bunch of flakes.
 
Haha, I'm just wondering if anyone is going, cause I finally got the wife to agree to go.

(drive) It's funny cuz in the photos it definitely doesnt "look" like were going very fast... (drive) But we certainly were hauling ass down the front stretch.



It must just be really high speed photography I guess... lol
 
Karting did look awesome. I wish I didn't have other crap going on :(
 
karting was an absolute blast, i think everyone that went wants to do it again so ill see what for schedule they have for karting enduro's for the rest of this summer and fall...
maybe try to get one more in...

and hopefully its dry if/when we run again, wet track isnt nearly as fun or fast as a dry track...


oh and just cause i still love this pic, our team LITERALLY drove the wheels off our kart hahahaha
