Englishtown - harder than I remember!

Friday, September 12th, 2008

I must say, I had a great time at Englishtown.  Both my father in law and my brother in law went with me this time and it was pretty much non stop laughter.  Truly, the best part of this trip was the camping part.  We ate well, walked around the entire Englishtown complex, joked, laughed, and […]

Hurricane Hills, Clifford PA

Monday, August 11th, 2008

The really fun races for […]

Broome-Tioga was really cool!

This was one fantastic track. The ride there was pretty easy as it was only about 5 hours. The land in this part of upstate New York is really pretty.
I have never been at this track before, and it was all that everyone said it would be - safe, challenging, and a first rate staff […]

Berwick was not all that fun…..

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

I had high expectations for Berwick this year.  Last year the track was perfect - vintage friendly, challenging, and located in one of the most beautiful areas in the country.  Here is what went down at Berwick……..

The camping was fantastic.  Many showed up on Friday night and the feel was relaxed and fun.  Cool music […]
