No problem, my pleasure!

Unhappy

I'm going to go to the supper and listen to Peter Schutz tell stories. In fact I'm flying in from the UK on Sat.... Which means no track time for me

Looks like it's going to be a great turnout, and Peter will be a nice bonus!

If they are talking about going over the leap of faith with your foot flat, it took me a while to "enjoy" doing it. There's not much road on the right side after you start back down the hill. And I had a few laps with the slightest steering input at the crest, which creates pucker moments on the way down. I started to relax my grip on the wheel just before cresting to be sure the wheels were pointed straight. Being on throttle over and down the hill is actually quite fun, but fun in a roller coaster, I might puke or soil myself kinda way.

Oh, if they were talking about something else, ignore my babbling.

The really, really tight uphill hairpin at the bottom of the new section.

TD, the "wheels straight as you crest" is the key point G-wagen and I were making last fall. This facilitates a more stable car, and thus more throttle.

It was more like... in the words of Arlo Guthrie...

"They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints, and
they took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles
and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each
one was to be used as evidence against us. Took pictures of the approach,
the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not to
mention the aerial photography."

Haven't seen him in ages. Not really sure if he is still alive but I'm sure his spirit is haunting most of us. That should have been "evil" spirit....

Dave, give your uvula a break when you ride with these guys....

I'm out of this one. We have our earnings release on the Monday following the event. Dang.... I need to email them saying I won't be there.
