I thought it was spot on; really enjoyed the event dinner, which was way better than any other event dinner I have attended at the Glen.
Saucers group might have benefited from a reminder of where the passing zones are, but it wasn't really a problem. I would say 90%+ of the group was ready to give the pass signal, but a very few weren't as aware. No problem and not at all unusual for a DE.
I really appreciate being able to drop the trailer the night before without going through the 'the track might not allow it/it'll cost $50 extra or whatever' rigmarole we sometimes see.
Well done, guys - thanks. See you next year.

The Traqmate talk was great as too many people use their Traqmate as a lap timer and it can do soooo much more for you as a driver.

Agreed - best managed Cups & Saucers event that I've ever attended.
The Data Aquisition training (both Lunch talk and Dinner) were terrific !
This Data Aquisition topic would be interesting to most Rennlisters today (whether you have any
system already -- or are considering purchasing one in the future).
Maybe we can get Van Svenson to offer a Web based training session ? (for a nominal fee !).

Fantastic weekend, I agree, well organized and managed by some great folks. I had a blast, even in the rain! It was great seeing my American friends, old and new.
A couple of rides with Scott were well worth the investment, the returns being a steep learning curve and a lot of fun. Neat guy, talented coach.
See you all next year.

Don, Van, Jim and I would like to thank everyone for joining us this year. We were happy to see so many new drivers along side some familiar faces. We would also like to thank Scott and Rick Canter for leading the track walk Wednesday night. Those who attended found it very informative, and picked up quite a few tips to improve their lap times.
I had a chance to get out and snap some shots Thursday morning. Feel free to download any photos you like. If you would like a hi res copy of any of the photos please email me the photo name under the image and I will email you a copy.

Also had a hoot today, turned out to be gorgeous at the Gllen after the morning showers moved on. Low 70's and abundant sun!

Thanks for an enjoyable and extremely well-organized event. Had fun at dinner at Seneca with a few Rennlist celebs (Dave - aka VR -, Larry, Paolo, among others). Surprised so few people took "advantage" of the learning opportunity in the rain on Wednesday. I think I got about 50 laps in the wet on Wednesday and about 180 minutes of track time on Thursday.
