Yeah, I was in Yellow. There wasn't too many people pointing me by though. What are you driving? Thanks for the compliments on the car. I sure love that old beater and it does pretty well out on the track.

+1 on John being a great instructor, and I'll add VR & Richard to the list too. All three helped me a lot.

Is it just me, or do others find as they move up in the run groups, that its sometimes more fun to have an instructor in the car than to go solo? Not in any way to diminish the value of what you learn, but it's also a kick to have someone along that enjoys going fast (ok, kind of fast).

Both sponsors missed out. Motul distributor had some family stuff tying him up and Cleartech got pulled up to DFW by Don Callier's new dealership to shield some cars. Both promise to make the next one, and apologized for their absence.

Sorry, first priority was the one with VR in it that I posted on the HWFMR forum.

HD? Are you kidding? Try No-D. It was taken with a very cheap camera. You're welcome to do whatever you want with it, once I get the thing edited. I'll try to get it taken care of tomorrow. I left it on my work laptop.

Glad to have been garage mates. It is great to be able to put the faces and cars to the names! Hope you got your spare back in good shape.

Here ya go Boze, your 15 minutes of fame is about to begin.

Here's a lap of me following the boze_man around TWS. He kicks my *** in the three stooges, but I get it back in turn 1.

Good video, Mike. Although, not quite as exciting after you covered up VR's screams with the music. Good music choice, BTW.
