Anyone else besides me who signed up for the One-Lap school March 31-April 1? I signed up for Sunday without dinner.

I will be there both days - one day in a Blue 1995 Firebird and the other day in a green 1997 Firebird. Drop by and say “hi”. I might also be instructing.

See you there.

Excellent KeithO! I’ll say hello. I’ll be in a yellow SRT-4. It’s my second track day at BeaveRun so I need plenty of instructing! Maybe you could be mine? See you there.

Look for us - we seem to be a growing group in the paddock. Fee free to join us. I described my cars above. My dad will be in a burnt orange 01’ Camaro SS and a friend of mine will be in a blue Lancer Evo. I also think that a woman in a road race Mustang will be joining us.

My first-position is that I am not instructing (I didn’t sign up for instructing but told them I would help out if there weren’t enough instructors). I really would like to do some testing on the mods I did to the race car (which might require some wrenching between sessions) and just have the need to flog my new (to me) street car.

My dad will definitely be instructing and he is a well-regarded - maybe we can get you two together at a minimum.

I’m glad to see the participation.

Ditto. I gave my car a “spa” treatment (engine oil, gear oil, rear diff oil, brake fluid) on Sunday so she’s ready to roll. 🙂

If I remember correctly, I was instructing at the last event I saw you at. Instructing basically means that you are jumping between your car and a students car with very few breaks to deal with your own car or be social.

Yeah it does make it hard for you guys to B.S. cause you are constantly running from car to car.

The weather started off pretty rough (fun driving though) but it sure did get nice in the afternoon. The Gallardo sounded amazing.

It was nice getting a chance to talk with you Keith.

Hey Guys,

Sorry I don’t think I got a change to talk to anyone I promised. Maybe I did and didn’t realize. It was a blast. The most fun I had in a long time. Finally in the 4-5 sessions I got the line correct in all corners and did it feel good! See you all again!

I tried to get you to come up in the timing and scoring tower but you didn’t seem interested…

Yeah, it was good to finally get past “hi” with you Eric. You looked pretty good out there!

Sorry KeithO, I didn’t know that was you and I wasn’t ignoring anyone, my girlfriend was waiting for me at the building to have lunch, that’s why I didn’t take the invitation. Thanks and hopefully next time.
