Beaver Springs!
« on: September 01, 2024, 05:28:18 PM »
Just wondering how many are planning to go to the annual FE Race & Reunion at Beaver Springs PA next weekend? It`s about a 20 hour drive each way for me, so will be leaving Tuesday morning. After flying in twice as a spectator, will be nice to finally be racing something at this great event. Even the weather forecast looks better than it usually is for this race.

Hey Doug you going this year.

Joe, if you're talking to me, no, I can't make it again this year. I've had some serious heart issues going on, and the added $1k expense for fuel and lodging is more than I can afford right now. I'm really hoping I'll make it next time, with the new engine installed.
