You need to change your avatar now to one of those pictures. Also, do you know what camera was used? Those pictures look amazing.

yeah, but auto-x's are close by and much cheaper. I am going to try for next year. The main thing is I am still sorting out the car and the ax is a good start for that. I really want to finally hit summit point. It just sucks that I do it AFTER I move away from DC. I will want to pick a day when you all are going again.

WOW Ernie T! Congrats for discovering the curves. I hadn't realized you just discovered them. It was good to meet you and the yellow monster machine up at Gordon's this past weekend. When I had my 7, the curves were the most fun I ever had in my car. I like fast, but only exceleration, I didn't need top end, just curves. I hope you have more fun with new road courses soon too.
