Cool :thumbsup:
Thats pretty damn impressive that all of you were only a few seconds behind.
And Kudos to the guy with the CGT for actually driving it :hail:

<-------is gettin ancy

btw: Your car sounds like pure sechs

I kept hearing over the walkie that the CGT was going 5 seconds faster than anyone else and it definitely looked like it. :cheers:

Thanks for the videos by the way. Ya, it was definitely hauling the mail.

Talking about the red 62 nova sedan? If so, made it home ok, had a tranny leak.

No talking about the kids that had just bought a nova at the hotel we were staying at. They didn't know how to strap the car down. Greg and myself had to go over there and show them how to strap it down. Greg even gave them a set of straps.

Here's a few pictures I took.

Hey, your car looked great---tried to track you down between rounds to let you know---looked like you were having a great time on the road course and it sounded good too. Really nice car--love the wheels!

Doug

Thanks, wish I could have done the autocross, but didn't want to take a chance. Road course was a blast, 1st time out on the track and 1st time out with the car.

Kent

...and to put this in perspective, my understanding is that the GT was owned and driven by the father of the guy who runs the driving school and had more than a few laps on that particular track. David didn't attend the driving school on Friday and ran the course for the first time just before running his competition laps. And yeah - the guy in the Porsche deserves all the kudos in the world for flogging it the way that he did.

...another note, there were some sector times recorded within the overall lap times and it was pointed out after the fact that Mary in her '73 was actually faster in some of the sectors than the Carrera. That says tons about the abilities of a leaf spring car (and Mary's improving road course skills)...

Old point-n-shoot camera, but got a couple decent shots.

Hey Bill,
Should we get Greg a shirt for the next event?

Had a blast......

The only downside......my car budget gets even worse!!!! There were so many nice cars and now I have even more ideas that are gonna cost me even more $$.... thanks :)

:rofl: :rofl:

I resemble that remark!

Good pixs Doug!
:cheers:

Thanks Greg! Wish we could go back and live it again---feel like it went by so fast--really looking forward to the next one---you'll have to hangout a bit longer next time. Still planning for PT--or mini PT with us in June to Pleasanton?

Doug

Doug - Wish I could answer either of those - motor is still bits and pieces - crank and rods arrived yesterday... heads are here... now to get the shop "cranking" (pun).

AutoRad said the radiator went to polisher this week...

I know June sounds like plenty of time - but I also have a college graduation in Phoenix mid May - and one moving down there the following week - so her car and "belongings" going down in the trailer around the 24th of May... blah blah blah... so if I could just get everything to cooperate - and no parts shortages... I may beg off PT and do Mini with you guys... which would be "easier" than getting my BFA to Newton Iower....:lol:

Hey now, we used to play Newton in football. I don't know what was in the water but those boys were huuuuuge.

I think it was actually the corn Todd. :_paranoid

Back to the topic though, great pics Doug. If you have anymore, post 'em up man.:thumbsup:

BTW - Not that anyone cares ------ NO I never got the tie-down straps back from the boys loading the Nova in the hotel parking lot.

I never asked for them to be returned -- the young man OFFERED to return them and took my address.... in my mind, they were a "gift".

I hope they made it home safely and with the car intact..... NOT!!! :rofl: :woot:

Well he offered he should atleast be a man of his word.
I mean we could of let him leave without having helped him. Of course the car would of no longer been on the trailer when he got home.

Well -- I just hope whenever he uses the straps - he feels a tinge of guilt...


:thumbsup:

I cant believe those guys didn't return the straps. They would still be on the side of the road picking up scraps, if you had let them leave.

Payback will suck.

Mike -- It's no skin on my nose -- really -- I have plenty of them - way more than I can use. I just was sad that they couldn't follow thru what they promised. I carry no grudge nor wish them ill. I hope they made it without incident.

Hey! You bought a trailer yet?? :unibrow:

they made it home ok, sorry about that. I'll look into it.

Thanks again for helping them out.

PM sent.

Vince

No trailer yet, have been looking a little, no set plans though.
