Not too long ago I mentioned that the lot up at Windward is getting repaved this summer. Well according to Murphy’s law you knew it would be the first weekend of the month!

Instead of moving the location I’ve decided to slide the show back one week to June 10th. Please help spread the word and many thanks to our property manager for giving us plenty of notice.

Once again the next Caffeine and Octane will be JUNE 10th.

Thanks to all for a great April show! No issues, fantastic turnout and a great mix of vehicles. Hopefully we will get to remain at the Windward location for the long term. We may have to move for 1 month this summer as the lot is slated to be repaved.
Next event is May 6th. See you then.

March 4th is approaching and hopefully more of the great weather we’ve been having will make it to the show. We’ve got 2 new sponsors. Coming on board. The Sports Car Club of America will be joining C&O and covering our insurance. Many thanks to them. Be sure to check them out. They offer many ways to really enjoy your car without the expensive and inconvenient consequences of fines and lawyers.

Also coming to our event will be the Skip Barber Racing school. For the few of you that aren’t familiar with them they are the preeminent race and driving school in the US. They were based for many years at Lime Rock Park in Conneticutt. Recently they moved to Road Atlanta. I took thier 3 day school back in 2001 and can attest to the attention to thier detail and professionalism, plus it was a LOT of fun! If you want to get the most out of your vehicle it’s $$ well spent.

Let’s all hope for sunny 65 degree day and the biggest turnout yet for our new venue.

Well the January event was a success. A bit smaller, but this was to be expected in cold weather. Thanks again to everyone that attended as we had zero problems. I did see some new folks including a Red Carrera GT that certainly got my attention.

The next event will be February 5th. Let’s hope for good weather like we had for January.
