I've been jonesing to get out so bad I've been watching recordings of the last two Continental and Rolex series races from the last season over and over again.

The last two races were at Lime Rock and Laguna. They brought up the fact that Laguna was very slick more than a few times. Make sure that gets embedded into Alexi's head. Some times a wack to the back of the head helps Looking forward to hearing about it

The Rig is sitting quietly waiting to unload the Lotus and the Mustang tomorrow morning.

Thank goodness they let me park the POS at the track when I arrived Wednesday so we could come into Carmel (where we have a hotel and Turkey dinner plans) and enjoy ourselves a bit.

I'm more worried about the Village Idiot staying on track. When you go off here you usually get introduced to a wall.

The village idiot was ALEX --- who managed to wad up the Lotus in turn 5…


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!!

I know the corkscrew is a hoot on a bike......lack of visibility due to a hood would definitely add to the excitement! Once you pick up your target no problem.

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

It was a blast Brian! I was so glad to see you two out there!


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.
