NORD STERN SEPTEMBER 2018 5 The ummer has flown by way too fast once again Shore Fall Color Tour! See page 31 for details, or this year, but I’m not going to lament its passing e-mail fall [email protected] for more information. Prez too much. To be honest, I love fall driving a This year’s Fall Fling will be a little later than usual, Smillion times more than summer driving. Summer but the weather will still be fabulous. It’s your last driving is too hot, too sunny, and way too much chance of the year to get on the track, so don’t miss it! Sez . road construction. By fall, everything seems to have Friday, October 5th will be the driver’s training and mellowed out a bit. The cooler temperatures make advanced lapping. I’m hoping to see lots of new faces a drive with the windows down pleasant.
