Dont forget the bus stop, many a poor soul has visited the styrofoam blocks at the other end. Adding insult to injury, you then have to buy the block.
Doing the Glen on the 27th to the 29th, havent been there for a couple of months and looking foreward to it.

Hey All;

Turn 10 is where most of the accidents occur in DE or open track type events. The high speeds there see most people turning in too soon and/or not apexing tightly enough. Thery run out of room, force the car to stay on, drop at least two off, and hook spin into the outside wall.

Totally avoidable if you pay attention and give the corner proper respect!

Tom,

See you at the Glen. I'll be at the Falls Motel . If you arrive in time for dinner on thursday night call or leave me a message - either at the motel or on my cell (914 548-5084) and I'll try to meet you.

Otherwise, I'll see you on the tech line in the a.m.

Ciao.

Richard
