Nice meeting everyone

Mike,

Nice meeting you today. Many thanks to you and Fisa, as that tent was a godsend! Very nice turnout and it was a good time.

Hope to see you guys on next weekend's cruise.

What pads are you running?

Did you have to change your shorts after that slide or what? Glad you were able to save it and get it stopped

My friend was right behind you when it happened, I was watching from the bridge.

I talked to the on-site Tockico rep and he told me that is a sure fire way to blow the oil seals on the shocks. Oh well. I got two sessions out of it anyway. Fisa had a good time, she got a lot more track time than me

I will say that I really like the track and facility, it's close by and is not that demanding on your car (as compared to Buttonwillow, say). I think the best part of my day before I found out about my blown shock was the $5 cheeseburger I had at the concession stand.

And for those of you that hung out in the mdpalmer/meiogirl 12'x12', you're welcome

Thanks for the tent Mike. I'll pay joo back!

Bummer for the charcoal gray FC whose engine caught on fire and was towed out of the track. It looked like it was under control though.

HPS right now, which is totally inadequate. I'm looking into Porterfield RS4's and maybe the hawk race pads until I can :nudge nudge: get a certain somebody to divulge his BBK secrets

Yeah, that spinout was intense. I seriously though I was going to smash into that wall.

Heh, I knew you would ask! How's it feel to see your old car put to good use? The tune was perfect! Gotta solve a few little issues, but that's easy. Couldn't have made it home without your assistance! Thanks for everything Glenn!

Also, Fris didn't show up, but thanks to his handywork, I was also able to make it to this event! Thanks Lucky 7!
