Also thanks for the patience to those who were unfortunate enough to be BEHIND me during the twisties. I promise to do a better job of getting out of the way quicker next time.

i had a fun time too.. not so much in my own car but overall definitely yes. i got some comments about how my car skips sideways over the ground and how some people arent comfortable following it closely, which i think is totally hilarious. many thanks to Paul for letting me tag along for the majority of the run and borrow his radio, and to Nathan for helping me out with some duct tape and making sure i didnt get stranded in the middle of nowhere. great event, great fun, id do it again.  |

quote:Had a GREAT time on the run. Many THANKS to Mike Allen for organizing the run and Ricky Crow for the route and leading the run. Fast enough to be fun and challenging but also at a pace that was SAFE. It was good to see everyone return in the same condition they left (no bent metal or tow trucks) except for the silly grins on their faces. Again Thanks to everyone involved. Can't wait for the next run.
P.S. Those of you that missed this one ........You missed something.

yeah, that was the most fun ive had in a while! good job to everyone! even with my half-spin and the motorcycle guy almost eating wall, the only bad part was the biker's "sit and spin" sign for ricky.. definitely got my vote for a do-again!
i have some pics to post, but my host site is down for the moment.. ill get em up sometime! you can all see how going sideways eats tires! hehe

It was a great run guys! I had a great deal of fun! I will post the pics tonight when I get home. They are still in the camera in the car. I was exhausted after the run.  |

Thanks, Ricky. I had a migraine attack at 5-something Sunday AM and was completely out of touch most of the day [xx(] . Let's do it again soon.
We need to do more of these where they can fit in the schedule.
I am sorry I didn't make it as I had a blast on the previous one.

Vanessa pointed out the Kangaroos to me, but by the time I could have even gotten to the point of looking at them, I was already well past them. I missed it, myself.
But being the lead car, you have to pay attention to everything on the road, including VERY LARGE 10+ point bucks along the side of the road... That deer freaked me out, even though it wasn't in the road and never came close to the road. The three or so Nissan/Inifinity cars behind me will know what I'm talking about. That sucker was HUGE!
