I've tried my best to rally the troops, and we have a good Rotary Addicts showing.... many of us are leaving the rotaries at home due to the weather, but we'll all be there

assorted GFs

and possibly Poopernaut...... he is investigating to see if he'll melt in temps above 85 degrees

Nah sitting outside in african heat is not something I enjoy doing. Lots of good etown events I missed because it was too hot to go.

Ill be watching it via speed channel in a nice ac room set at 61 degrees lol.

Well, the above people made it to the event and saw the RX-8s sweep the podium for GT class, second year in a row

Unofficial results here:

For those that begged off due to the heat, it wasn't bad at all and you missed an awesome time

I watched it on TV, would have been nicer to be there but I still enjoyed it

Question tho.. Why do they put the Riley cars with the GT cars if they are so much faster? Seems like a it flusters the track having the Rileys trying to pass the GT cars..

Def was fun watching it on TV. Maybe next year it wont be as hot and i can actually see it live.

Funny how the vette driver was pissed at one of the 8 drivers for a "dumb move". "It was sooo dumb, it was just dumb". lol Then throws a water bottle at the car LOL
