Holiday Inn Express in Mt Vernon is nice and it's only a 20-25 minute drive on some backroads to get there. The Ruby Tuesday's has NASCAR on the bar TV on Friday nights. Big pick up turnout I tell you.
The wife will not go to a track unless there's a Kohls or Macys on the track's grounds.
Edit: Checked around. Quite a few motel rooms in Mansfield and Mt Vernon left. The Days Inn by the Lexington exit still has rooms Friday night.

I remember the first time I got bitten by juice. I was about 13, we had a basement light with a pull chain that broke. I figured I could fix it, everything was going well up to the point where the screwdriver I was using to push the chain back into the slot slipped and I shorted across 120. That was rather a rude awakening. Knowing what I know now, I'm glad we didn't live in Europe.

Just gotta brag a little - though we all know that Lucy winning anything usually results in a mechanical failure soon after - broke two rear wheel studs for this Best Mazda win at the Sports and Import Car Club show last weekend. I know haters gonna hate on my car, lmao, but she cleans up well and always stands out in the crowd All show, no go...a bit like a high school cheerleader I suspect

2X the price of an RX-8. 3X the horsepower of an RX-8. Almost 4X the amount of torque of an RX-8. But it's still a Mustang.

On a side note the trophies for the other makes were pistons, lol, they thought ahead for the Mazda group which was impressive we thought even though there were non-rotary Mazdas there as well.
Here is a pic of the broken studs if people want to try to guess what caused it...

Congrats on the win Wendy. I thought you may have won by doing some crazy donuts like the ones in your video. Going to go with a new set of extended lugs, or just replace them with stockers?

Looks like the studs are broken cleanly across, and at about the same height. Were they even with or maybe a little below the wheel surface? I'm guessing so based on the other studs' pattern of clean/dirty threads. The fact they are opposite each other suggests to me that it was an overtightening issue. But then again, I might be talking out of somewhere you don't normally expect!
We got our room in Mansfield for Friday and Saturday nights for Mid-Ohio. Not sure how soon on Friday we will head up yet.

Okay, my friend opened the box and sent me some pictures of the 7 body kit. It is the one I have been wanting (Pacifica) with a vertical air dam which is the look I prefer over the later, more common underslung ones. It will need some work but for $250 I expected that, overall it looks solid. I've attached a picture of how it will look, this is one I tried getting a long time ago but it fell through. Don't worry, mine won't be painted flat black!

I hit Fuel tonight from about 5-7PM. Not a lot of cars but an older JDM Nissan GT-R right handed driver was there. Looked pretty good.

Redsun, the car is in the shop right now, (Boitnott's). They do all the body work stuff for Spade, so I cut out the middle man. Hopefully will be done soon.
Mazdax3 if that Skyline you saw was blue, I have seen it on Mall road at a Thai Restaurant before. Beautiful car, did you happen to get a pic?
