I totally agree...I was amazed at some of the aggressive driving from the kink through Canada when we had both a car in the wall and one in the gravel trap at Canada (safety crews at both locations).

Hey Jim, nice to finally meet you. Mike, I tried to find you but could not locate you.
Perfect weather!! A great event!! I agree the safety crews at RA are awesome.

Man, I wish I'd gone (especially since my weekend plans ended up falling through).
Leading up to the weekend, a friend kept asking me to go out there with them. They did the DE - up until the car locked up on them. Nonetheless, they had a great time and kept commenting on the great atmosphere was at that race. I've always heard the Labor Day weekend event is not to be missed and have wanted to get out there the last couple years but just was never able to make it work. I won't make that mistake again next year. Besides, I can't let Ray be the only red Box. in attendence.
BTW, when I was considering registering, I looked at the roster. There was a crapload of cars signed up - like 180+ IIRC! At RA, doesn't that make for some pretty crowded DE sessions?

Some video from of the enduro that gives a flavor of how intense it was: 2007 Road America

Great picture of Rick Fischer's motor blowing up. I was far enough back that I initially thought it was multiple cars locking brakes at turn one. Unfortunately for me, I was the only one to spin on his oil. As the car came around, I was thinking "****, this is going to be expensive!". Credit to the drivers behind me for avoiding contact. Honestly, they would have forgiven considering how many cars there were and how close we were.
