Oh yeah, everything's cool and I'm fine. I sent you a PM back.

Nothing so far that can't be fixed. It just may not be "pretty" for a while... It may be Red with primer on it at the next event (if I make it back in '07).

I heard that a BIG headed woman driver said the same thing about Brian and the guy she said it to also called her out on it. It is a sad day when people make comments like that. I have heard that some said the same/similar things about me when I wrecked a few years ago. The next event one guy who made those comments went to wrecked BIG time. Watch what you say - or think for that matter - it could be you next time. No one is perfect and we all make mistakes out there - some just get off easier some times. You don't have to be best friends with everyone out there, but you should show respect for everyone out there. Sometimes people make comments like that because they feel insecure about the fact some are faster than they are. When someone wrecks they try and make themselves feel better by making remarks like "he got what he deserved" or "that's what he gets", etc.

I wish I would have been there when she (whoever she is) said it because she would have gotten an earful from me.

 

Thanks Matt!

 

That was funny, but not the first time it has happened.

 

Hey Chris,

Thanks and you are very welcome, glad I could help and hopefully didn't confuse the situation. Since yours are triples they are a bigger rubik's cube than I have.

 

I was working at the CDOC store and happened to be at the consessions stand when BKS had his off. It was a big hit and I was glad when i heard he was OK because the way the car was positioned when I came to rest made it difficult to see if any movement on his part in the cockpit. All I can say is he is fast as heck.

 

Well, I'll chime in on the comment that was made. If the individual truly made that comment, which I have no reason to believe that the person who told me about it lied about the whole thing, then they've got their opinion, and I'm cool with that. I only wish they had said it to me directly. That would have been the classy thing to do.

If an individual were to say something similar about a friend of mine, or even an acquaintance that I know well, I would certainly stand up, as you guys have, and fire right back with a pretty good wrath.

End of discussion on that particular subject as far as I'm concerned. If my wreck makes their day - to me that says enough about them... and why should the rest of us waste our time with 'em...

 

Great having a chance to put a face with a name. See you again soon at VIR. BTW, thanks for getting Chris moved up so we could run together. We had some AWESOME sessions together on Saturday and then 1 on Sunday morning.

I don't think they are. FYI...they were paddocked right next to me so I actually got a chance to meet them. There was one session where Chris and I passed that silver MkI GT3 twice!

Actually it was a 209.9 It was about the 7th lap in on the Sunday morning 1st session. Chris and I were pretty much lapping the field and have no idea what got into us but we were movin! I'll post a video for that lap when I get home tonight. I hate to think how much quicker it would have been had a 944 that I came up on in the braking zone at the end of the back straight instead been a pass on the back straight. We had to wait to pass on the short straight b/t roller coaster and hogpen. What's funny about that lap is that I watched ALL my video last night and it was the ONLY lap I saw that I actually moved my arm up out of the way so I could see the tracqmate screen. Something told me that was a good lap. Just happened to hit all my marks on a single lap. Glad I got it on video

 

Boy, I got to work for a few hours and all hell breaks loose!

Yeah, I'll be at the FSR event. Hopefully the weather will be a little more cooperative.

BKS - Sorry man about your car. If you can't get it fixed by the next event I'll let you drive my MOMENTUM car but if you break 2:17 I'll be really pissed!

 

Boston- You NEED to do VIR soon. It is one of the best tracks on the east coast. Plus then we'll have 2 paisans onthe same track!

Also, Congrats on being indoctrinated into the HWFM fraternity. That was a funny thread!

 

My wife and I have a rule that forbids me from driving anyone's car except my own

I'd probably be lucky to break 2:45 in a non-turbo... so you are in no danger of being pissed

 

My wife and I were at the Glen 3 months ago and an instructor wrecked another friend's car going into the laces. My wife looks at me and said, "Who would you let drive your car?" I answered without hesitation; BKS. After the incident, I contemplated lending my car to Brian; but I thought it was best not to offer up a G50 five speed turbo with ABS. So today he's still married .

 

Yeah maybe that's the smart thing to do.
I see the guy I bought my car from all the time and he is constantly asking me to drive it again since I made all the modifications but I think I'll just continue to change the subject....

 

Thanks Dave- it's really nice to hear that.

For what it's worth Potomac prides itself on giving- and receiving- quick pass signals. (well there is one person I won't name...) and it doesn't sound like those cars were from our region...

BKS sorry I don't know you, sorry you had the shunt and glad you're OK...I was kidding some friends while they were dragging away the remains and said well that's a pretty car- he's not gonna need those seats for a while and those are nice wheels...they chided me: "how can you say that?".

So walking away I stated "this sh*ts too dangerous I'm getting a sailboat" and another individual I won't name name (initials are KJ) quickly said "what're you doing with your wheels?"
