I have a feeling BW is going to be packed with rental cars on the day.

I've been thinking the same thing for the past month

Greg, your car looks way better in person than in pictures. Other than the new NASCAR stripe you added at the track that paint is cherry and interior is really clean looking.

I just wish my car was running and I could have been running with you guys and hang out longer. Oh well, maybe next time.

BTW, I missed the opportunity to meet Jack Maurer. Thats what happens when dont get to spend all day.....you miss stuff

There was a second gen Camaro running in your group that looked really good out there. I talked to the owner a bit and was surprised to hear it was all stock suspension but then again I'm sure the Hoosiers he was running were a big help. The silver first gen we were watching was nice looking but he didn't look to fast. Alot of real nice Mustangs out in the paddock.

Oh, and how about that '76ish Fairlane and '63ish Falcon!! It was cool to see some "out of the box" cars

I have never sen someone stay balanced on a Segway that is not turned on for as long as Greg did. The forward somersault was priceless. At the beginning of the weekend I made it very clear to Greg that this is not Thunderhill,there are walls here

So I'd ridden it earlier -- with Charley's "instructions" (unrepeatable in a public forum)... So I needed it to go to talk to the guys about fixing my car... Sure! He says... but I didn't know you actually have to turn it on to make all the gyros etc (and the machine) work... So I jump on and lean forward - it goes nowhere - so I lean some more - it goes nowhere... so..... Yeah, okay - it starts with dumb and ends with azz..... I lean more and now I just fall flat. SPECTACULARLY GOOD FUN FOR ALL WATCHING....

It'll buff out...

oh thats funny, would of been better had someone got that on tape.

Funny how Charlie didn't mention anything as you just kept leaning over more and more each time.

[96z28ss]

Greg, atleast your not the only one that has trouble on the segway.
