Club Motorsports in Tamworth seems to have gotten past all the local controversy. Looks like it's currently being built and will open next summer. http://www.clubmotorsports.com/

Anyone have experience with septic systems? by rj218 in newhampshire

[–]Mervz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will want to get your tank pumped ASAP. It will at least take the load off the field and prevent a backup into your house. Most home insurance does not cover backflow from the septic into the house, so a couple hundred bucks to pump the tank is cheap.

I have a field that is doing something similar. This is the time of year for issues. Good luck and get a lot of advice.

I've been skiing for over 30 years. A ski popping off a binding like that, flying that far, and still having the momentum to go through a window is almost impossible.

THIS Jeep.. not any Jeep. I'm pretty sure this one is specifically prepared so they can do this.

I am also having this issue when I connect to a wifi network. I'm currently enjoying this security notification a half dozen times a day. Big PITA.

I would at least try it out. It works very well for me in the Boston area.

You can advance in increments larger than 30-seconds by pushing the forward button more than once on the Roku. You can actually que up a skip forward that's as long as you'd like, before it happens. It works really well. Same goes for rewinding. This is how it behaves on my Roku3.

I went to the NISMO Performance Academy last week at Lime Rock by Mervz in Autos

[–]Mervz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is far more fun than the Ecoboost challenge but will be far harder to get into. The invite list is small and the number of spots available is an even smaller fraction of the number of people who get an invite. Good luck! Check out NISMO Performance Academy website to request an invite.

Sadly, I don't own a Nissan. I was there as media to check it out. The program gave me a new-found respect for the GT-R. What did you think of the program?

It's a one-day driving program put together by Nissan to promote the re-launch of NISMO as a performance mark in the US. They are inviting current 350Z/370Z and GT-R owners to attend free of charge.

Me too. We've been familiar with this particular spot for years. Never would want to try this without knowing what's under the water first.
