Re: Parking Lot Suggestions Wanted

There are islands of grass instead of parking blocks. Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at the link and see what you mean about the islands. The problem is that we want to always stay a minimum of 25 feet away from any curb (preferably more), which doesn't allow us with any room. Joe Macinnes is ...

Re: Pop Up Canopy on Sale at Home Depot $50

I tried to purchase the canopy at Sears tonight. However, the guy at Sears said that it was not on sale. After looking it up at Sears.com, it was not there. Then when clicking the link, the link shows that it is no longer available. I have a feeling that the price was a mistake because the 10 X 10 w...

Re: Pop Up Canopy on Sale at Home Depot $50

Sears has a 12x12 on sale for $50 also. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00620051000P?sid=I0084400010000100383&aff=Y That's an awesome price. That's half the price we paid last month for the same canopy. I've never seen them that cheap anywhere. I'm going to pick a few up as spare for t...

Re: Pop Up Canopy on Sale at Home Depot $50

Thanks. I got one, it looks decent and comes with a wheeled carrying case. It does not come with tent pegs/spikes which are nice on windy days. I think we have a bunch of extra spikes from all the tents that we've gone thru (about 1 a year). I'll look in the trailer this week/weekend. I'm sure I ca...

Re: 1965 MGB Project (Rust-Free) $1500

This car is still available. So if there's anyone interested in an MGB project, you might want to consider this one. I also learned that this car really is not a 1965 but probably a later car (or a mutt with sever different year parts).

Pop Up Canopy on Sale at Home Depot $50

I just saw that Home Depot has a 10' X 10' pop up canopy on sale for $49.99, which seems like a good price. The sale is good thru 5/21/08. We just bought a 12' X 12' a few weeks ago for the timing tent and that cost us $100. I'd purchase this one at Home Depot but I think the timing tent needs that ...

We are a GO for SATurday April 26th at Bowie

I know a lot of participants and organizers were disappointed that we had to cancel the last event. The good news, however, is that the event for this Saturday (26th) is still on schedule! The forecast (depending on whom you are listening) is for late afternoon showers. With luck, we will complete a...

Weather Channel stated 40% with brief passing showers and I was leaning to hold the event. NOAA stated heavy showers and Thunder...

Re: BMW Project Car Advice Wanted

I think you should do the Targa Newfoundland. Sure you can do the GRM or HPDE events, but if you do the Targa, you'll have an experience that you'll really enjoy the rest of your life. Just be careful that your life doesn't terminate at the Targa!

The car is a project car, but, with some labor, could make a good autocross car for the small bore series. The car also does not have a title but it appears that you shouldn't have a problem ...
