Red face Jeff (blueosprey90) goes racing in his MG A

Several of you may have seen Jeff AKA Disgruntled Publicus (blueosprey90) post on here. Jeff lives in CT, but his heart is with Upstate.

Met him last year at Formula H, and then again on our awesome Black & Blue Drive for Levi in the North Country. Jeff also went out his way when I was home shopping. He spent several hours of his lawyer time on the phone giving me advice and all the more even drove up from CT with Nancy (his wonderful wife) to do a complete structural on the home we eventually settled on. He was so thorough in his structural that I was not too happy with the job the home inspector eventually did. I needed parental advice, and he gave me as much as any of my parents would and for which I shall forever be beholden to him

As all of you are probably aware, Jeff has purchased an MG A and is all set to do a Paul Newman setting the VSCCA ablaze.

He starts racing this Saturday, and I felt we should have a thread to wish him well and follow his progress with his MG A roadster.

Part of what makes Upstate a great community is how much we care for our own, and it is my hope that you will all join in wishing Jeff well and convey your advice and suggestions on this thread. When he is out on track, he will know he has a captive fan base rooting for him and that should egg him on to push for the checkered flag.

Jeff - may the force (of Senna, Schumacher, Alonso, Vettel et.al) be with you. I wish you all the very best for race day.

Please know that if you ever needed an extra pit crew member, all you need to do is call me

Why Thank You Aashish! Very kind of you.

I was going to post this on the "Am I Nuts? thread, but I'll post it here as well.

I be ready (I think)!

It has been an exhausting experience and I still don't have the oil leak fully solved. I need a team of mechanics. I'm going to try to load on the trailer tonight! Pocono Raceway North, here I come!






(Incidently, I have another picture with THAT SHIRT. I'll post it somewhere because I know JJ wants to get you one

I read my first post on the "Am I Nuts?" thread. The only person from Upstate who gave me "sensible" advice was Doug. He said "Don't do it!" He's a very young man!

That assumes I don't kill myself. Nancy has gone through all my bills and made sure all my life insurance policies are paid to date! I wonder if she gets double indemnity.

Looks awesome Jeff

Go out and have fun. You will do well. Why do I say that? That's because the S2000 trains you, turns you into a better driver

He is sensible. I think he was referring to how it could turn into a money pit and a nightmare for someone that does not know a thing about cars. But you are good
