I want to drive fast

[GrassyKnoll]

Is there any place around where I can just haul ass? I don't want to do an event or organized quarter mile, I just want to drive fast as hell. Is there any tracks in new england that hold open days or something? It would be cool to find a place sometime to do a top-speed run. Old airstrip perhaps?

Legally?

[GrassyKnoll]

Legally?

preferably legally....

where in CT are you from / other CT SCS members from?

[Gitster]

Im from Killingworth, I know some homo from Waterbury. BoBl is from Danbury, and so is Fox i think.

Illegal is about all you are going to get. Go rock out on some dirt roads. RALLY mother grabber!!

[Murphy2012]

I know of a dead runway we can make one quick run and then just bounce real fast from. I have been doing it for years.

[Nate8409]

I wish I could find a place to practice techniques on. Like grab some cones and set up a hairpin. Sweeping S. Various slalom types.

Even some Emergency avoidance.

sounds fun, where at?

One could always wait till winter and go flat out across some lake or something. Thats been something i've always wanted to do. It's probably very unsafe, but it'll still be fun as hell!

Anyone have a hook-up at pease? i'd LOVE to get on that run way, even for 10 minutes!!

[doylfish]

i know of a 2 mile long grass runway lol

[Robk0000]

i have a 2 mile long trail in jefferson, its some pretty good rally practise area. Really tight though to be hawlin ass.

[GrassyKnoll]

hmmm im interested in the dead runway. :)

Wait til winter, consult with UNSAKRED with regards to secret rally location. That's where you can haul ass

[morbidgorilla]

Ah..the Super Secret Seacoast Subaru Rally stage.....the fun

[2mprzya]

although terry, you might have to show me this dead strip. could be some fun! i say we have a SCS caravan to the salt flats!

indeed, and this winter I am thinking we are going to have to setup some cones! :)

[GrassyKnoll]

I used to use Celestica in Pease -> used to be perfect but a new company just bought it out and now it's in use :(

There is a landing strip in Lebanon Maine at New England Skydive.

He let me take my Turbo Mazda out on it.... I hit 145 and still had plenty of room to slow down.

verrrry interested in this.

[2mprzya]

^ yeah. me too!!! i say we pull in some money, and "rent it out" unless hes cool with letting us on for free!

[Bu11dogg2]

I doubt for insurance reasons that will ever happen.

[2mprzya]

i'll sign a waiver.

I'd suggest you get into HPDE open track days. It's pretty cheap, local, and best of all, you won't kill anyone.

Where do they run this locally?

[2mprzya]

can't somebody just buy some land and pave a strip for us. maybe a half mile strip, and a large parking lot?

[GrassyKnoll]

haha I was thinking the same thing. What would be the legal ramifications of opening such a thing? If people signed a waiver, would it be air tight or would there still be legal issues. SCS should open a place that will do that :)

[2mprzya]

theres always ways around waivers and such. when i buy a house, im making sure to get lots of land. i'd building a dirt course and i'm going to pave a little lot.

When you buy a house on your Bestbuy salary? Damn I shouldn't have quit.

[2mprzya]

yeah.. i wish. this place blows.

Not sure, specifically, but the closest regular track is NHIS. Take a look at the SCCA schedule, www.ner.org (http://www.ner.org), the NASA guys do Lime Rock alot, www.nasaproracing.com (http://www.nasaproracing.com), etc., to see what's going on this season.

Oh yeah - if you swing out 395 where it breaks off to route 6 and takes you into RI - there is probably a 5+ mi stretch of highway before it turns to back roads... its relatively straight and you get a good 3 mile stretch where you can everything clear as days. In 4 years of driving it I never saw a cop and slugged out some decent speeds in my MR2.

[2mprzya]

who wants to go to RI? maybe we can continue on past and head to foxwoods?

Nice thats nowhere near me hahah.
