Tom will be leading the pack, so there will be some waiting involved.

Just kidding Tom

Greg, we will only be waiting for you. lol

Seriously, it should be nice Saturday. Only a slight chance of rain on Friday, and the roads should be dry by Saturday if it rains any at all. I am hoping that there are no leaves on the roads either.

Leaves can be used to swing and drift around corners. LOL

Stephen, Last time we were running so hard that in a couple of turns I scraped my front spoiler and we had to stop to let the tires cool down half-way through.

I boiled the fresh brake fluid in mine, you got to push a S4 pretty hard to do that.
I also had clearance issues, rear tires hitting the inner frame and front was scrapping a bit.

Not sure I want to run that hard again, cause if you get some leaves on some of those turns at the rate we were going, it is not going to end well.

Radar looks good north though.

We had a great time, and I think someone with a black 928 could not find us, thought it might have been you.
Turn out was rather small this time, maybe 12 cars total, not any where near the amount of cars we had last time.
Had some good runs on 180.

That was dun today. Wish I could have stayed longer.

It was fun letting the rear break loose.

Great seeing everyone.

Had a great time today. Thanks to all that came out. Met some new friends, and rode hard enough through the roads to leave the brakes smoking when we stopped.

That was probably me. We were almost all the way there, then the alternator belt decided to leave the party. Go figure, it's a daily driver for years and today is the day it failed. Managed to make it back home on battery power though . Next time.

Sure y'all had fun. That's nice, but what we really want to know is: who was faster Tom or Greg? Come on out with it! ;-)

That sucks, we went to the other Waffle House to try and find you.
Glad you made it home though, I have a set of belts at the shop if you need one today.

I was in front of Tom all day.
All Kidding aside, Tom did a really good job of keeping up on 180.
