It was definitely great to finally get to see one of these events, and even better to get a couple of rides (thanks to Bruce and Tom). Now I’ve just gotta get my heap situated so that it could make it through a day of that (as opposed to a few intervals at an autocross). And thanks to Byron for carting me there and back- Sucks that the JP guys had some bad luck this weekend, but very impressive, nonetheless! Oh, and the redneck bachelorette party was superb. The ‘part-time/off-season’ Santa & ‘Strong like _butt_’… special. ---

Had a GREAT time! I just finished editing my 277 pics from the weekend. I’m still converting videos from the chasecam set up. It was great to meet you guys, and it was good to see some old friends! Sorry I didn’t come say goodbye, but we booked it after my last session because we had to look at a 240 on the way home in Potsdam. Didn’t get home until like 1AM!!! Anyways, I’ll post up a link to a thread with pics or something when I get them all uploaded. Definitely will have to do another event with you guys. ---

I can’t believe that nothing killed your oil cooler all weekend. Must be because the Canadians weren’t driving fast enough to kick stuff up. ---

And no turtles,snakes…or lions,tigers,or bears…and your right, other than the nascar trucks and the DSR racer I never got passed. Oh the vette did once…then i proceeded to keep up with him for some strange reason. The car gods looked down on us this weekend, we all came out with intact and running vehicles.

Yes, video time. Thanks for posting. Mike has some good ones too from the Chase Cam. Wow, it’s time to get you and Joe out of B group. Or at least that B group. If the Civic hatch and E30 are being held up constantly by $60k+ machinery… In your video and when I went out in A group in Mike’s Mini I saw very few people hitting turn 3 correctly. That’s the most fun corner, you gots to hit it crazy early! LOL @ new Viper coupe ACR dealie holding you up. And LOL @ Jeff K real life mannerisms also appear behind wheel like flippant sarcastic hand wave. :rofl ---
