A great great weekend. April can't come soon enough.

So did you and 96s10 leave early on Sunday or something? I saw your cars in the paddock on Saturday. Sunday I ran the first two sessions in D group and went looking for you afterwards but your cars weren't there the rest of the day? What happened?

Weird we were there the whole day for both days?!?! I bumped up to C group on sunday!! It made the day SOOOO much more enjoyable!! When I was in D group I kept coming up and those older vettes and porches and they would not let me by!! I dunno if it was the "the hell an s10 is gonna pass my vette or porche" mindset or if they were scared to be passed??? Oh well it was still TONS of fun!

That doesn't make sense... grr. I saw the s10 on the track earlier in the day, and saw the black camaro (saw the license plate) coming off the track once. The next 3 or 4 times I went up and down the paddock, neither of your cars were there. The one time (Saturday) I saw both of your cars, I went up to them but no one was there except a few woman and I didn't know if they were with you or from the cars next to you. I did see your Bush/Chaney 04 sticker though, lol. :thumbsup

PS - I agree with the slow cars in D. The only thing that passed me was that new C5 modded Vette. it sounded bad ass! Everything else, it was like, "get outa my way!" :D There were a few cars that wouldn't let me by until they got the blue/yellow flag.

Jesse,
we pitted on sunday, on the grass, right in front of the Bathrooms,
towards that tunnel that goes under the track.

What color car do you have? stealth rt.

One of those girls was probably my wife?

See Ya In April!
Nan will be back in south Korea, hes in the Army, home on leave.


:wooo

Ahh... You goofs, why'd you change where you pitted? It never occured to me you guys might have moved locations. I figured everyone just stays where they are, hehe.

I had a red stealth rt/tt with me over the weekend (http://www.w3si.org/images/speedseekers-october04/Jesse%20Rink%20turn%2012.jpg). Only ran it twice in D group on Sunday (split time). I also ran a maroon colored stealth rt/tt back in April in group D. It's such a blast. I wish I had more track time under my belt. In April I ran 5 sessions, in June I ran 4 sessions at Gingerman before I spun a bearing, and this weekend I just ran 2 sessions. The car holds its own though, considering there's no performance mods done to it, just track pads and toyo proxy ra-1 tires. Brakes seem to make all the difference, I think that's the only reason I was whizzing by people is because I could brake a lot later than what everyone else seemed to be doing in group D (except for that damn silver C5 vette that was hauling ass).

I wish I had bumped into you guys up there. I haven't met many of the BCM crowd at all (I'm not really a hwy100 guy) with the exception of HeatSeeker (John) and a few others.

LOL! We didn't have a choice to change pits. We got there late on sunday and that was the only place to go :(
