I'm not sure about posting pics of somebody elses misfortune so I won't at this time......
Good decision...if the driver of the car wants to post pics it's OK, if not, we should respect his privacy.

Driver was OK, drove himself home and did not even get himself checked out at the hospital. Something to be said about proper safety equipment!!!!!

MussB: Are saying my car is LOUD?!?!? I'm actually amazed I'm not too loud for LRP.... I tell you, without the supertrapp it's alot worse... I got popped at an auto-x but I can have a muffler on it in 5 minutes.

I've seen video footage and from the outside it doesn't seem too bad I mean some of the GT3 cup cars are louder by far... All I can say is thank God for ear plugs!

Should shout out a TY to Lou D. and Geoffrey R. (and HVR in general) for a well run, fun event on Tuesday also. They run the most relaxed, hassle free event i've ever had the pleasure to attend.

Default HVR

Agree with Gary - CVR event was a great way to start the year. Thanks also to HVR folks for a super Tuesday. I especially liked the one hour Red+Black "Enduro" at the end.

I thought they were going to have to send someone out to get Dick to come in. Seemed like he wasn't going to ever stop

Agree the event had a great relaxed feel to it with each driver being responsible for their actions.

I have to ask, Gary, what are you guys running in those D-train cars? After a few laps running with you guys I had to back down due to the fumes... Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling well 2nd and 3rd sessions and sat out 4th.

We were running high 1:01's and low 1:02's. Things got really interesting in the late afternoon with the combined run group.

Hope our fumes didn't make you sick

Lots of new variables for me. Roll bar, harness, and seats really glued me in when my body is used to being thrown around. So, I wasn't used to 1.6+ G gut sloshing and the tail breaking loose on the uphill didn't help -- and then the fumes put me over the edge. Enjoyed a great game of cat-and-mouse with Silver GT3 # 41 (?) - I think somebody said his name was Dennis.
