Oledoc:
Look forward to meeting you and other fellow drivers.
If anyone is hesitating about coming, please do come and check out the track and all it's activities. It is fascinating to see all these people who mess with their cars. Everyone is friendly and ready to talk with you about their cars and driving them.

Re: Indiana Crossfires Meet and Greet
well, the tune put my parameters to 190...so, its nice to know it is possible and I did mine from a standing start...I can't get anything more than the mile and a half...two deputies stood by late one evening, radios and all, it was pretty easy for us actually...didn't even have any traffic to worry about as it turned out...they had a K-band and lazer they were trying out, and wasn't my county either...so not to get any of my guys in trouble...I was just willing help out....mine cut out @ that speed...before tune...haven't been able to try it since the tune...but, I will ask you can bet on that....

First post on forum but very interested in attending Putnam Park on the 21st. So we will meet at MCdees at 10 AM. I live in Morgantown so its not that far. Raced in circles many years at Lincoln Park not too far away so this turning right and left will be interesting.

I also would like to say that I have met Jane and oledoc2u and they are some nice folks. You should most definitely go and meet the others if you live close by. I am sure you will be happy you did.

Anyway, Oledoc and I want to continue to invite all Crossfire owners to a day at Putnam Park in Mt Meridian, IN. Oledoc has set up a meeting place at McDonalds at 10:00 AM at I-70/US 231. I think this is in Cloverdale, IN. From there, the track is about 10 minutes away.
You will be able to hang out at the track and will be hosted by two of the Central Indiana Porsche Club officers. They will be happy to talk with you about High Performance Driver Ed. At noon, you will be able to drive your Crossfire on the track (without helmets and under 60 mph). After that, hang out and watch and when ready, drive to your next meeting place.
I think it will be a great get together for Indiana and other Crossfire owners. I know that I would certainly like to meet many of you that I see/read on the forum.
Let Oledoc know that you are coming. In the mean time, don't hesitate to go to Putnampark.com to learn about the track.

Re: Indiana Crossfires Meet and Greet
You guys all have a great time at the meet tomorrow.
As it turns out my Charity motorcycle Ride for Autism is tomorrow.
I will be among more than 1000 motorcycles for a 120 mile escorted ride through many of the northwest suburbs of Chicago.
This is my 5th year participating in this event.
Some pics below from past years....and a link to my gallery

Re: Indiana Crossfires Meet and Greet
Doc and Decade 85 and friend: Thanks so much for coming to Putnam. It was a pleasure to meet you all and it meant a lot to me to have a little Crossfire support. I'm now back home. I did drive in the rain which was a great step for me as I've had a hard time at Putnam in the rain. No problem today. My tires really stuck this weekend; now just need to get these brakes right.
For all you Hoosiers and friends close by, I plan to be at Putnam October 25/26 for the Pumkin. Again, come on down and drive the track during lunch. Don't be afraid of this track. These High Perfomance Drivers Ed program are wonderful and a great way to learn how to handle your car. This type of driving is a bit more challenging than drag racing.
Again, thanks doc and decade85.

It was great meeting you Doc, and Jane. I had a great time, and I will be going back to that park frequently in the future. If I had a few less expenses, I would love to join you guys in that, but for now I think I'll just keep enjoying the track tours.
Until next time.
Re: Indiana Crossfires Meet and Greet
I would have been there except for a few things. First, my daughter gave birth to my second grandchild, little girl. Second, I never got a PM notice about this. Am I on the Indiana list for future events? And last, my car has been in the shop for the good part of the last 3 months. POS engine just won't run right. What's it like to drive a xfire, I've forgotten.
