I told ya they'd be worth the wait!
Greg has shot a number of events professionally for me and he is not only great behind the camera, but also a true enthusiast.
Always makes reflection on a great day that much better...

I have been on a few other drives in the past few years with Greg and he is a true gentleman. As usual, your work is fantastic. I particularily love the shots of Bob's and Y65MPH's cars with the leaves blowing behind. Looks straight out of a brochure! The shot of the 3 generations of silver 911s were excellent as well. I appreciate you joining us and as a bonus we got these fantastic shots.
I will definitely be PMing you for a few of my car.
Thank again Greg. Beautiful work.

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I just learned about a Winter Driving Series at MMC that some of you might be interested in.
Here's the body of a post in the Subaru forums:

Hope to see some of you guys

Winter Driving Series @ MMC
There was a RWD Carrera S at MMC today.
You guys should get those Garage Queens out and blow the cobwebs out of them!
There were a few R32 folks there.
Michal, Margaret, and Ben were there as participants.
Michal & Margaret left their MK V R32s home and came to the track in Michals M3.
Some of you might remember Ben from the Summer Run. He had the blue twin-turbo R32.
Ben left that beast at home and brought his 'Beater' N/A R32 to MMC today.
Ben said it was pretty tough out on the track because after the first turn, there wasn't much snow, but lots of ice.
There wasn't much to see as a spectator because there weren't many accessible viewing areas.
Margaret In the M3 waiting to get out on the track:
Ben in the staging lane in his 'Beater'

Some shots of the staging lanes:
These videos are a little dark. I think my camera must have been overcompensating because of all the lightness of the snowy background.
Ben:
An EVO:
A Honda:
And the Carrera S:
