I'm all for speed but I'm not really big on someone not being safe at those speeds even if they are an F1 driver...and I'm fairly certain that guy wasn't.

No offense but I'd like to see the rest of you at the next meet, not on the local news being extricated from your car via the jaws of life.

Next time we will plan the meet earlier and organize a drive plan more. I know we all get excited and are having a good time, but a modicum of common sense and safety need to be followed and I appreciate those of you who did this (as you bastards were passing me). =)

We did pass you quite well GG..
I sure as hell wasnt going to try and keep up with those 3rd gens..
I was tryin to take it easy, as we havent even had the motor in there for a full week yet.
It was running strong, and the parts werent new, so a full on break in period was not needed.
Needless to say, i didnt shift above 6k...
But i did take it up to about 130 or 135..

Brian, in the green 3rd gen..
He is a very aggressive driver, but i feel really safe with him..
Even though it sounds as if he was driving a lil on the wild side.

Good fun, even though i didnt make it to the "meet", i still got to enjoy the drive.

When I see a guy pass someone when they can't see over the hill in front of them and then have to swerve back into the correct lane forcing the RX8 to almost pull off the road...I consider that stupidity.
