Graduated from UT with my masters in 1992, left for Atlanta. 21 years there, so yeah, i've been gone a while.

Yes, My son Cameron is a Sophomore studying Engineering at UT. He drove a Margay Brava with a KT100 and has run with us before (perhaps a long time ago with a Briggs kart too). We will be pulling the kart out of mothballs and running it against the real fast guys in ETR because that Kt100 can FLY......

Not to hijack my own thread, but I forgot to include a picture of my car because in our sport, people sometimes know people by their cars first and then "oh yeah, THAT guy".

Dear ETR Friends, we didn't close on the house in time to make the chilhowee event, but we came at saw it last year. I love the charity idea and the family atmosphere. I found an article in the paper (online edition) and thought I would share it with you. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2013/aug/17/rev...

Who among you is the iron man (or woman) and can pull the double? Saturday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway, ending 11pm -- followed by a drive just a bit north back to Pellissippi to run the ETR event on sunday. I challenged your champion Rob Carpenter last weekend to such a feat, but he is afraid, ...

Wow, that sounds like a lot of fun. You need a co-driver Brian? :lol: For anyone that is thinking about attending, I ran at AMS years ago and it was an awesome site. Large lot, smooth pavement, and interesting courses since there is a little "roll" to the terrain there. Mark if you are ta...

Dear ETR Solo members, Congrats to Rob Carpenter and the ETR region for the big win at the DoubleCross Challenge. It's now time for regional events and to get ready for nationals. Atlanta Region SCCA is hosting this event at Atlanta Motor Speedway THIS SATURDAY night. We would LOVE to have a nice tu...

Dear ETR SCCA members, (edit: I see that you have an event on July 2nd at the OAK RIDGE MALL, so I don't want to step on any toes -- IF anybody isn't going to OAK RIDGE, then coming to Atlanta is a good option). The FIRST DoubleCross Challenge is NEXT weekend, July 1 and 2. STOP!! before you click d...

yeah guys, the FJB rules are posted nationally. Ages 8-11 IF the local chapter has a karting chief, does a kart meeting and a course walkthru. All easy things if somebody is willing to step up to the plate and somebody is willing to file paperwork to get it started with national. We have a very smal...

During testing this morning the Margay blew out a clutch... YUCK. And our spare has been sent off to be rebuilt, so we have no extra parts for it... I gues we should have replaced that in the off season. :( Oh well, we will be bringing the slow kart and dropping back to FJA in the birel 4arx. See yo...

I made a typo.. I meant that my wife graduated loudon in 85. She's OLD like me.



Brian

Oh well, I see that Rob is running the ProSolo. Oh well, I understand completely..

By the way, do you guys run Karts as a Separate run group like some regions or just weave them in with the rest?
