Had perfect weather this past weekend and was able to run some pretty decent laps in the morning. First session second day was a 2:11.6 with a bunch of 2:12's.

It was nice catching up w/ some old buddies and meeting some new folks.

Thanks for the N2 Alex and nice chatting w/ you David.

Great weekend Alex. Nice job keeping all runs in given the excessive black flags on fri!

Schedule was whack, but I think you already knew that

Default thanks from Ma.

Gentlemen,

Russ and I greatly appreciate the camaraderie that was shown to us this past weekend at VIR. Despite the difficulties on Sat., we had an awesome time.

the last run on Sun with 6 cars on track was also a highlight, but number 1 on the fun list was a ride with RMAG !!!!!!!!WOW


thanks
BOB

Hi Alex, great event - as always. Four shorter sessions per run group > 3 longer ones especially given the stunning number of black flags. BBQ was a good addition. Thanks!

Perhaps limiting the number of Corvettes and BMWs might help reduce the frequecy of black flag / off track mishaps -- of course I was driving an E92 m3 so I should just say 'thank you'

It was a good time. FSR did a nice job adjusting the schedule to work around the Friday issues. Thanks go to Don and Carol for doing the burgers and dogs and other goodies. Didn't make it to the food line because I didn't get past the margaritas coming out of David's ultimate blender! For those of you who like to tend bar when you entertain, you should have seen this thing!

The world didn't end but after seeing all those black flags I was actually starting to worry a little hehe.

As for the FSR crew, Great job as always and I enjoyed the BQ etc.....

Hopefully see you guys again in the fall.

I got more "thank you's" than I deserve. Big thanks to Carol, Mad Mel, Brett Jacobsen, Dixon Leatherbury, Barney Russell, Steve Sarfaty and David Isreal for cooking and the margaritas and sangrita.

It was a great weekend and felt good to get back out there and shake the cob-webs off.

Chris Kimmelshue posted a cool video for me: http://vimeo.com/24198690, or search for "Don's Save" on Vimeo.

Alex, avatar updated.
