Possible Diner With Billy Johnson!

[BioBanker]

Billy's coming to town for the Kensai Lapping day on Monday.

I am thinking that this is well worth throwing an impromptu diner together.

Billy is arriving Sunday and leaving Tuesday AM. It *appears* that he does not have diner plans for either Sunday or Monday evening.

Ive asked which day he prefers, and we will throw something together at whenever is best for him, but be aware that there is something brewing with the driver of the Factor X Redline Time Attack NSX and the Kensai Racing TSX thats in the Grand Am series!!!!

Story of Billy winning the Koni Challenge race at Mosport HERE

I'd show him a good time:biggrin: ..........did you know there is also an American Champion ski racer names Billy Johnson - he was "crazy"!

 

[BioBanker]

That was Bill Johnson. Famous for being the first guy in many years to double the humps at Wengen (I think theyre there). Also famous for stealing cars, predicting that he would win Olympic gold (84), and then doing it a week later, and for a long list of tough events since.

I think it was Franz Klammer who said "last thing I want to be thinking about when Im racing is whether or not Bill is stealing my car from the parking lot".

But for a brief period, Bill was king.

Update - looks like we will put something together for Sunday evening!

Billy and his co-driver are staying in The Beach, so when we figure out whats happening (it would be great if his Kensai codriver would come out too!), Ill post.

Im in The Beach so it could be anything from beers in my backyard to diner to both.

This is a great chance to meet with a great race car driver who is a member of our community (stuntman on PRIME).

Don't for get about Billy "White-Shoes" Johnson, famous football player!

-I'm a pretty diverse person...


Here's a picture of our new Paint Scheme that debut 2 weeks ago at our race in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec:

Bill Johnson was the John Macinroe (sp) of tennis..........both rec'd many infractions - sort of like the Shawna of PRIME:biggrin:

I'm free both those days Dave. Show me a list of who is coming and I'll let you know....

 

[BioBanker]

Rick, everyone is welcome to come, including you. Please come.

 

[BTRTHNSX]

Thanks Dave. I'll try and make this one. ( Wives invited ??? ) ...not that I have more than 1....

 

[GECKO]

Dave.....post the time and place so we know where to go.

 

[BioBanker]

I will get something up by end of day today.

Who is coming? Post here and I will maintain a list. If youre +1, let me know. Ill need to make reservations.

One issue is parking. There is poor parking in the Beach. Im happy to provide one spot in my garage and kick my van to the curb, but I would recommend that everyone who is not comfortable with random street parking, bring another vehicle. There are no lots for us to reserve at any restaurants.

I can't make it, my sister in law inconsiderately decided to get married just to keep me from the dinner!

If you want to do it at the Club I can call and see if they'll accomodate, the only issue being the airshow is on - so traffic will suck and it could be loud, depending on when you call it for.

 

[BioBanker]

That Could Be The Best Location!!!

 

[BioBanker]

The Clubs booked, so we are back at a Beach location, close to Billy and his co-driver.

Who is interested in this?

 

[BioBanker]

Guys, I seriously need to know about whos coming to this as I need to make reservations. Please let me know asap!

Im planning on a Beach restaurant Sunday evening. If anyone has any other restauraunt suggestions, with parking, let me know ASAP and we can adjust.

There will only be random street or green lot parking in the Beach. Probably not a great event to bring your NSX to if you're parking sensitive.

 

[GECKO]

I should be there.........coming from Shannonville (last national race) so what time are you thinking??

 

[BioBanker]

The patio restaurants in the Beach wont take reservations.

Lets meet at Lion on the Beach at 7PM.

Its a very easy walk from my place, so if you want to come to my place at 6:45, we can all walk over together.

Post here to say if you are coming to my place and Ill PM you my address and post here if you are meeting us at the restaurant.

I have parking for ONE NSX in my garage if wanted. First come first served.

This is going to be a great time! Billy, the driver of the Factor X NSX that is cleaning up the Redline Time Attacks and his Codriver from the Kensai Racing TSX that is doing extremely well are confirmed!

Sorry Dave, I used up all my "get out of Jail" cards last week, so I can't make this one.
