Anyone from Fairfield County, CT or Westchester County, NY reading this and going to Cups & Saucers with a trailer? I'd be interested in renting room for a set of tires.
Do tire vendors come to this event by chance?

Awesome DE run by Hudson Champlain! Thank you to all the hardworking volunteers!
First time for me at the Glen in my Cayman and got my best time trying to pedal hard and keep up with Paolo. Thanks Paolo!!
For what it's worth both Simon and Peter ran demo laps in my car at 2:20 and change
Also, I was using Michelin Super Sport street tires. No chunking for me and minimal wear afeter 2 days of DE. I figure at least 2 more DEs worth of wear. Great tires.

When it comes to race conditions, YOU HAVE TO BE FLAT through there (with your race car).
I hope to be back out there in August. I love that track!

I broke the pins on my OBDII cable so the Solo DL only got GPS data 
That's why you are my racing hero!.
Thanks!!
Yeah I LOVE data, but like I told Peter, I sadly broke my OBDII cable and lost data for this DE.

You looked real comfortable. You really want to have throttle trace working. I swore I was staying flat through the esses, but my data showed that I wasn't.

Roketman, awesome job of pushing the pedals and turning the wheel. Kudos to Matt, too!
JP66, I'll send you another. I have millions of spares around here.

Was there Wednesday in the Mini and had the time of my life, and set a new PB (by .01 sec!) in the process (after seeing roketman's time I'm too embarrassed to post mine )...just a fantastic day with a great group of Saucers on track and everybody in general 
. The track was exceptionally fast with the cool, DRY weather and I did just about every available minute of track time. Never have I regretted having to miss the second day of an event as I did here but sometimes real life gets in the way 
Also great to finally meet Matt Romanowski as well as Matt Lane from RL Canada, and to see familiar faces/Listers like Rick B and Jonathan K. When Jim Morgan greets me first thing Tuesday evening with an insult I know it's gonna be a great event! Thanks to Jim and everybody else responsible for putting this on, as well as for the smiles and laughs
Love to see a sequel in the fall....

Mega drive Ron. You and Bob were getting it done! I just gave a couple pointers and you guys ran with them.
Even with just the GPS data, you'll have some great reference material. Add the video and www.comparemylaps.com like we discussed and you have a ton of study material!
