I would love to make this event if it can find a place in my budget come July. I make no guarantees however I will try like hell to make it. Especially considering the support of your local members that made the haul to Watkins Glen.

I spoke to MIS yesterday in regards to the repaving of the pits and the track. The track repaving is scheduled for after their August event, it will not affect our track day on July 24th.

we will be discussing this event, this Saturday at one of our local Fiero events.. & i'll also remind folks on our local site.
I think gas prices & the related inflations have really affected long distance travels for many of us lately..

The Saturday Road Rally course has been driven and verified - lots of good scenery, curvey roads, and fun spots to stop. The tour should take about three hours and end up at the picnic/BBQ site!

The entire weekend was a blast. I enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new friends. This Fiero Club has organized some great events and I am looking forward to participating now as an actual Fiero "owner" instead of "riding along." Riding along is great fun with my hubby too though. Thought I'd better add that! I am looking forward to more fun with Capitol City Fiero Club!!!!! Keep up the great organizing Mr. Holtz. :)
