like I've said before I've driven Saavedro's FC at VIR on the Patriot course only once did i get nice weather - one of the times it even snowed, which was really weird to be doing 86 mph while on a racetrack, but hey it was fun

I'm not sure which was scarier though; the relatively fast speeds in the rain or the really fast speeds on the dry day with the Hoosiers on - I melted those bitches good that day

It was great! One of the more technical courses that I remember. There were a lot of people out there, 70 I think.

Pierce was there driving the black beauty. I don't want to put words in his mouth, but he seemed to be having a blast.

Next one is June 28. Who is going to be there?!

I will.

I am pretty sure I can make the one on the 28th, just wish the Miata would be set-up a little more competitively than it is. The money i was gonna spend on it is instead going into the Porsche which will hopefully be my regular car next season.
