Maine

Same for the GF; she was driving from exit 86 to South Portland every day. She put 70k on her Mustang in 3 years, and then Covid hit and she started working from home. She only put 6k on it all of last year.

 

headed into NMW on Thursday the 20th.. meeting up at Indian Hill Trading post 11-12 and headed through 20Mile...

testing out new equipment (bed rack, fridge, GMRS radio...AGM battery)

 

Jealous! I am not allowed to do anything fun until I get the all-clear health-wise. Enjoy!

 

we have a trip brewing for Fathers day weekend, looks like we are starting in like Ashland and headed to the trains, and down thru.

 

a bit back, someone said something about Moto cross this weekend up at the former BNAS, any one got any more info on this, Google was not my friend.

 

No problem, I'll post a link in a minute.

edit: here ya go! https://www.motorsportreg.com/orgs/cumberland-motor-club

 

If you have any other questions I'm happy to answer!

 

Thanks, My weekend plans have been changed a little, so I think I’m going to swing by Saturday morning. I’m assuming I just drive on base and there will be signs or what not guiding me.

 

I'm not sure what they're putting up for signage this year, in years past we've had signs all the way from the main road, but not always. You'll be hard pressed to miss the large collection of vehicles with numbers on the side by one of the hangars.

 

I295 Exit 28 to Rt.1 North
Follow Rt 1 until it turns into 4 lane divided highway
Take the Cooks Corner Exit
Right onto Bath Road
Left at 2nd Light onto Admiral Fitch Ave.
Straight through One Street light(only one on Brunswick Landing)
Straight through 4 way stop
Go to next stop sign where the road ends at runway. Have to take a left or right onto Orion, depending on where it is being held. If you guess the wrong way it is easy to turn around and come back in the other direction.

 

Hangar 5, 112 Orion street, Brunswick Maine. You should be able to see the cars and trucks and trailers fairly easily

 

I worked in cook’s corner for years, back when record town was at the strip mall behind BK, then once it moved to the new Shaw’s strip mall. But the rest of the base directions are useful.

 

Day one of autocross was mostly a success. My battery tie down snapped the J-hook off on my second run, and the battery slid into my power steering pulley. Cut the battery open and partially rubbed through the low pressure return line as well. One quick parts store run later and I had a new battery and tie down. Got it back together and cleaned up for the second half of the day and it ran great!

If anybody comes tomorrow and wants a ride around the course in the Tacoma, either ping me on here to catch up or show up with a valid drivers license and a helmet if you have one. There are some loaners the club has as well. I'm the only truck racing so just come up after signing the waiver and hop in. typically other drivers will be happy to let you ride along in their vehicles as well. We'll be running from 9-9:30am to 3pm.

 

Westbrook here too!

 

Bright and early departure from home base, destination: Brunswick autocross!

 

I hung out by the gate near the time clock for a bit yesterday, saw you make a few runs. I would have been there sooner, but we found Flight Deck on the way.

look like folks were having fun, reminded me of the many times I saw the SCCA run at Louden.

 

Awesome! They actually were running down there this past week. A lot of us stopped at the flight deck after we finished yesterday. If you're around today feel free to find the truck and I'll take you around!

I have to ask, how'd the truck look/sound going around the course? I haven't seen any video of it yet.

 

Looked decent, seemed to be holding good for a truck on the turns, Better than a few of the cars I saw.

 

Did anybody actually get any rain yesterday? I was in Farmington doing some yard/housework for my grandmother and the sky was turning black and rumbly to the West when I left. Drove 45 minutes home to Wales, never met any rain, but then the sky was dark and rumbly to the North of there for most of the afternoon.

 

Nothing in Phippsburg. Thought we were going to get drenched while biking.
