Well, we already knew that. He should just be thankful he didn't ride with Sean on his last run.... it wasn't pretty!

Potomac did the usual great job. Ths was my first time doing an instruct-only weekend and with two students, to boot. It was enjoyable work. Kudos to Dirk, Alan, David and the rest of the gang.

Nice to meet Sean and catch a ride with Gary. They were both boogeying along pretty well in their 3.2's.

The track was pretty rough in Gary's D class car, but I did run a few laps in Sam N's JRZ-equipped 993 and did not find the maligned corners to be that bad. I will be signing up for the the club race.

Exactly. Gary has a 3.2 with lots of extra titanium bits, I'm running a stock 3.0. Good meeting you as well Mark and thanks for the track tips.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I took a Blue student out in White a few times and there was a lot of open track. I should have timed it better and followed you two out. You made a great decision; Black, on-the-other-hand had practically no open track.

As Mark said, despite the pathetic condition of the track, there did not seem to be any pavement chunks coming up.

We still have room in the VIR event.

Thanks to: Alan, Tony, Ralf, Dirk, Charlie, et al . . . for another great event and worthy cause. Track conditions and crowding aside, I had a great event, and nice to see a lot a familiar faces again.

Nice meeting you Sean. It was fun playing tag with Ryan.

Many thanks to Sean and Gary for helping me adjust my sway bars. It really helped my car's handling and even on that crud of a track I broke my personal best times. ( which isn't saying a whole lot )

However.... it did come down the the last session of the last day to see who would go home with the Carrera cup DE victory and then this happened...
