Lee, Yeah we are running at what they call ACU-4 on Little Creek Amphib Base. It is a huge, active landing area for the LCAC hovercraft. The place is huge,the concrete is perfect, the view of Chesapeake Bay can't be any nicer. We have had people from all over the east coast travel to events here now and they all fall in love with the site. It is just about the nicest autocross site I have ever run. Not quite as fast as some of the old events at Fentress, but overall a great place. The Navy people there seem to like us there, as they set up hamburger/hot dog sales every event that benefits their various relief funds. It is a great place. They are putting on the Joy Fund Autocross there on 11/20 if you happen to make it a long week around Thanksgiving when you come up. It'd be great to see you. I am pretty sure after yesterday that mom would want to bring the Shelby. The local autocross community stays in touch on this web site http://www.autocross.us/forum if you check out the "Event Coverage" section you will always know what we are doing at local autocrosses. Someone else took another picture of the car. This one is better, it is of Mom drivng it. I think that car looks so at home on an autocross course. http://hr404.smugmug.com/photos/40250745-M.jpg I do have a set of Lucas lights for it, but I have always thought it looked better without them.
