If I didnt have to be stuck here in Illinois this weekend, scooping up clothes and gettin ready for moving- I'd be there..

I had a '70 vette- grew up and got a Porsche. It's not how fast you can go in a 1/4 mile- it's lap times baby!!

I'll probably come out to give moral support. I blew my cash this weekend on the Italian Festival and the Popcorn Festival. I'm down to my last $2 for the weekend. Is it free to come and watch?

Pete, it's free to watch. Come along and I'll give you a ride during one of my laps (if you sign a waiver in case I roll the car over). Plus, you can pick up that free 944 tool kit I am givin' ya! So, you'll actually come out ahead if you show up.......right?

Hey Pete... you still planning on letting me tear up your Kuhmos? If you are going, we can switch there, if not, let me know what you want to do.

Tifo, you bringing your camcorder? I want to record my runs, and did not have a chance to meet up with Jason to borrow his. Let me know.

Brian (Perry951)and I had a blast. He spun on his first run and came within 6 inches of the guardrail (whew!) The course was very fast. I beat all of the 924's, 944's, and 951's there (and 2 968's). Brian won his class (951).

Brian and I were just outside the bubble for the top ten fastest p-cars that went on to challenge the top ten fastest vettes. We left before the end of the shootout so I don't know the final outcome (it was getting late in the day).

I'll find out in a little bit.

Brian got a lot of video (including the spin). Pete got a lot of photos. Hopefully they will post them shortly!
