I think there might be one at Lime Rock in August. I still need to get all my paperwork together. Do you have any suggestions or are you just trying to figure out what event to avoid?

NJMP PCA race in August 27/29 would be a good one as it is a fairly safe track and a good turnout

John was my mentor last year. After we worked out the compensation ... er training routine everything was great. JK.

Thanks again John for your time last year.

See you shortly.

Had a splendid time with Zone 1 at WGI this past weekend.

Friday was a track time orgy and everyone got plenty of track time all weekend.. The track was great (cones and all) and most of all, the Zone 1 organizers really pulled out all the stops to make this one of the best events I have been to in a long time.

Organizing an event like this isn't easy. It takes time, patience and hard work. Zone 1 really worked HARD to make this event work and it showed. Thanks to everyone who pulled this off - and especially to Lou.

THANK YOU!!....

As a first timer to WG, who was unlucky and had car issues after only one session, all I can say... I can't wait to come back next year!!

I thought everyone did a real nice job organizing the event and i wanted to thank the people who helped me work on the tech line saturday..the amount of cars on was insane and i just wasn't used to checking that many cars lol.

Hanging out with David Murry in private was awesome too..what a cool guy!

I had a great time on and off the track. The weather was beautiful and I'm finally starting to get a hang of the place, having driven there only 5 days in the dry + 3 in the wet.

The Canuck convoy will be back next year.

Thank you to those who organized and ran the event.

Ditto to all who sends their kudos to the organizers and volunteers and helpers for this past weekend event. They did an amazing job of getting everyone in, teched and out. Great to meet a few RL'ers too. I can't wait to get back!

Peter, I was wondering what heppended to you?...you went out, first run, then parked by the pits and then you were gone.

Hey Scott a power steering line failed at, or very near, the end of the first session. All the fluid leaked out right under the driver's seat. Bummer!! Just happy I caught it in the pit.... otherwise it could have been VERY ugly!!


Was good talking with you and your buddy that morning. Hope to see you next year!!!
