For sure. At WGI it would have been no contest, Spencer would’ve come back around on me in 8-10 laps. However, at Dunnville he cant get the power down quite as early (or so it appeared) and I’ve got a ton of laps there so I know every bump of what I can get away with. I was for sure pushing the boxster to 10/10ths everywhere except for in braking zones as I dont feel comfortable closing up on someone under braking after a 40 minute session. It was a blast for sure, but dont let the appearance fool you, his setup is SIGNIFICANTLY faster. ---

This being our first time, we knew there would be some problems to sort out. Asking people to ration food, and the long line was simply a function of the 30 to 40 people who decided last minute (after the deadline) they wanted to come. We expected a few extra people, but not THAT many! Mike alone could have easily handled the number of people who had registered like we asked months in advance; > [@5/24/08 - OFFICIAL NYSpeed Spring BBQ @ Dunnville Autodrome](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/5-24-08-official-nyspeed-spring-bbq-dunnville-autodrome/42266/475): > > Don’t get me wrong guys, we want as many people to come as possible! > > But there is no reason not to take 30 seconds and register, even if you’re not sure if you can make it.

There is absolutely no reason why you can’t at least register to prepare us for the proper amount of people who are going. **If you have the time to make a post here, you have time to register online.** Hell, while you’re at it you might as well pay and save yourself $5. :tup: We appreciate the support though! And will have to plan on having more cooks / grills at the Summers END event in September. It’s never a bad thing when this kind of demand exceeds supply :tup: We’ll also ask for volunteers ahead of time to flag and help at the registration desk for the next big event. With all of the tasks at hand, and the record number of people who showed up, we simply didn’t have enough help.

Since I’m out of the car scene… I could probably fill the back of my truck with grills or tires and also drag a huge trailer up there in case there was more breakage… Sounds like you guys had a blast though. ---

Also good to hear you fucked up your font tires, welcome to the world of GTIs. All, I had a problem in the grand curve. My car hopped while turning under power. The jolt was bad enough that the shock went into the drive train and engine revs went down. Any ideas as to what needs repair? Any pics or video of my car in a corner so I can see what the suspension was doing?
