ME however -- didn't even spin! Not once! And I was running Green group - Not one Black flag either ---- which Hobaugh can't make that claim!! Oh that's a good one I'll save up til later. Right now - I need some coffee and a shower.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

We all had fun today -- the Lotus can be fixed -- it was a beautiful day -- Pozzi's came out to play - Brian and Steve Hobaugh brought the Camaro - Lillard brought out Mayhem - Mike Maier came down to hang… so we got a little socializing in and some driving.

THE MUSTANG MADE A FULL DAY OF REDLINES WITHOUT A HITCH!! Gotta love that!!

Greg,

We had a great day today and thanks for lunch. The weather was perfect and it was awesome to see the Pozzi's come out along with Mike Maier. I just wish we got more track time with Charlie, you, and me on the track together. The Lotus will fix. I have been there and done that.

Black flag....me????

Hope to do it again soon!
Brian

Agree - not the run times we normally get. But I'm so glad that I got to drive there! That's not a beginners track nor is it very forgiving when someone runs out of talent.

You're right the lotus can be fixed. It's no big deal.

That sucks but that's racing. So I guess Alex will start a line of new CF lotus body kits?

You two are peas in a pod! That was about the second thing out of his mouth!

A coupe of valuable lessons came from this... He had been trying it get me to let him make CF parts for it... But he finally acknowledged it was light enough already.... And I had warned him repeatedly that the car was FAR faster than it looks... Again he acknowleded that it would pass almost anything in the straights. He finally quit with the "WE should modify this and WE should get a bigger blower....."

Greg,

That's great to hear Alex is ok. :thumbsup:

Speaking of carbon fibre body parts, it'll be interesting IMO to see if some company does a deal with James Shipka to sell copies of the '67 OLC front end in CF. :cool:

Great stuff you guys. Glad the "wad" wasn't too bad both for driverr and car. Any pics of the wadage? You know the old saying "if you want to play ya gotta pay..."

One of my dreams is driving Laguna. I will hopefully be prepped for t-hill by the end of winter.....we'll see...:thumbsup:

Dropping it as I write this at Hobaughs shop. It's in good hands now!!

Hey at least you guys had a good time and Alex was not hurt!! It doesn't look to bad?? Rear body panel, bumper, and exhaust??
