Hi all,
Hope everyone is doing well.
I hear this show is fantastic
Caffeine & Carburetors – The official website
I would like to get a group together. It starts at 8am Sunday morning.
I would like to leave the Southbury/Oxford/Seymour area at 7am. We could meet at Starbucks in Seymour at 6:30am. Head to the show and maybe a nice lunch and ride after the show. I hear it breaks up around noon.
Anybody along the way to the show that wants to jump in are welcome
Any interest?

Just received this in an email.

"Schedule Change"
Important
C&C Updates
June 15th gathering has been moved to June 14th and to
Lime Rock Park
"B Paddock"
Dear C&C'ers,
Due to the inability to acquire a town permit for the up-coming Father's Day event we are forced to move the June date and the June C&C venue. We will continue our talks with the town of New Canaan, but as of now our next New Canaan event will be
September 7th.
We know how disappointing this is and will continue to seek a solution. To continue the June gathering we have arranged a great morning at the track! We will still have great cars, great people and maybe even a few hot laps with some pro drivers for a lucky few....and the concession stand will be open and pouring Zumbach's coffee!
more to come shortly.
your friends,
Peter, Todd & Doug

So this has been moved up one day to Sat June 14th at Lime Rock park. I would think this going to be a very nice event and a great ride if it is a nice day. Can we start getting a head count? I think we will make the leave point Dunkin Donuts on Rt 67 Southbury

Who's in?

This is the link to FFR site, There are a few going, but now with the date moved it is up against the FFR open house

Update: From C&C

"C&C Appreciation Day"
pre-Father's Day fun!
celebrate 5 awesome years!
Dear C&C enthusiasts
As many of you know, C&C has been going through a few growing pains lately. Appreciation for all of your support, kind words and unsolicited letters to some of the powers that be is an understatement. With that said, we are sure that we will be able to come to an agreement with the town officials and make it work for all parties.
So that leaves us with our next event, "C&C Appreciation Day" Saturday, June 14th 2014, the day before Father's Day. We will all gather at Lime Rock Park around 10am. It's a bit of a drive but one of the most beautiful drives around (1 of Car & Driver's 10 best) and we will be there waiting for you. Get a group together and caravan up! Bring your picnic blankets and chairs! There will be no entry fee and the Paddock concession stand will be pouring Zumbach's coffee for the first time in Lime Rock history. The Lime Rock Driver's Club and Metro PCA will be on track that day, so plan on hanging out and watching some racing. There may even be a few hot laps to be had.
Lime Rock Park and Skip Barber have graciously opened their arms to us and we would love to show them what we are about. Skip will be walking around and personally inviting some to participate in the 2014 Historics Concours at LRP this fall. So come hang out, bring the family and enjoy. If you have any questions please feel free to email me (Todd).
Thank you for your continued support,
Peter, Todd & Doug
