Phoenix CMR
Back from a great two-day event @ WGI......weather was nigh on perfect for both days 
Advanced group was stocked with loads of Mustangs and Corvettes as well as Porsches, BMWs and a couple stock cars to boot; all very fast and all for the most part very well driven. Lots of action for the smaller-bore cars in the group, including yours truly in the Mini who managed to have a great time exploring new boundaries of slip angle while at the same time staying out of the way (and was told as much by more than one driver 
). Large Canadian contingent made it down including a couple 'Listers (nice driving, Peter and Scott!)....
So big
to Wendy and Andy following their late father's lead in putting together a nice, low-key event with lots of track time. Would love to see them get another date @ the Glen.....

Heya Gary,
I was there in the blue Vette with the obnoxiously large wing. Fantastic driving on your part. You drove the tires right off that Mini. And you fit right in with all of the much higher horsepower cars. You have superb track awareness and were anticipating passes miles in advance. You were never once in the way, drove the crap out of that car and I felt perfectly safe with you in all corners at race speed. A very impressive display.
I really enjoy the format of Phoenix. Tons of track time, passing almost everywhere and in any direction, alot of respect by the organizers given to the drivers and all highly skilled. And no major incidents that I saw. I also like the format of the drivers meeting. It was literally 5 minutes long with no BS and straight to the point rules.

and then because of the way you got that thing around after I would point you by. Yes, it's a fast, capable car, but it doesn't drive itself! Great driving at a great eventToday I paid the penalty for "driving the tires off" as you say....trashed the left front and flipped the other three on the rims. It was worth it
