No doubt though I hope to get back here again for this

Good to hear, the track seems to accommodate bikes, open wheel, and sedans well and it's technically and physically demanding. Will Davison was knackered after his cool suit and drink systems failed.

I'd have to agree they were much more civil than expected.

My dream ride in one of those cars would be Bathurst...........promise I won't do a Darrel Waltrip and scream like a little baby.

Rodger came by today and decided he needed a new project car.. I told him with a small LS motor in it, it would smoke his Camaro..Look for it in the "project update" section..

He is ready for Weld to sit next to him.

Was it the joystick or the white tires that set the hook?

WTF!!! This must be the only thread on Lat G I haven't posted in!! (don't start guys!!) Sorry to have missed it Roger! Not sure how -- since I've known about this trip for months.... Had I seen it we would have made damn sure we all got together etc.

Was fun to meet you -- even though I was on the wrong side of the table "group" to chat...

When I went to Austin Speed Shop today the guys from the Ekols team were there -- what a hoot! They are so funny and we had a great time talking about the racing etc. Wished you were there as you'd have loved hanging with them. They hadn't seen the YouTube video with Darrell Waltrip riding in a V8 car... they were in hysterics when we showed it to them.

I posed this very question to the Ekols team -- they said the track was so wide they just didn't need to get that close as there was ample line in most turns for 2 cars....

I was hoping for a lot more action than what we got.

Ambidextrous, I can change gears with either hand

After the short spin in the Cadillac, I'm thinking LSA

I think Greg and I would have the lowest CG

Hi Greg, thanks for posting vid, hilarious, but you need to see Bathurst to know how true it is. Thinking next Lat G catchup at Bathurst, I'll buy the beers

Got the private SW tour today
