thanks for putting this together Arnaud...was an awesome day - even as a spectator/ passenger ! And thanks to 3 gents that gave up their passenger seat and gave me a ride - Greg, Turbo guy (who's son's name is also Greg, sorry I've forgotten your name yet again) and to the gent driving the ZR1 (sorry, never did get your name) that car is insanely fast !! What a ride !

A) +1 Thanks Arnaud, great day. You picked it right 
B) Sorry I had to bail early and couldn't hang around more. Had to be at work early
C) Couldn't have stayed much longer anyway... in last 5 minutes of the second pm session, up the back straight, shifting in to 4th, clutch went wonky. Kind of like what happened to Phil last year if I recall. Still had a bit of clutch action but unable to get into gear if stopped; had to put in neutral, push the car a bit, jump in, and put into first. Needless to say it was a long stressful drive back to town without a clutch. Thankfully not much traffic at 14:30. Parked it at work and will take it to the shop in the am.
D) Yeah, those vettes are impressive

First of all, I'd like to thank the Accademy for feeding the poor guy who didn't have a car to drive but still showed up for lunch. 
Arnaud for putting together an awesome day. John, Jerry and Mossport personell for providing a safe environment.
Secondly, I wanna thank my wife for letting me play with her Boxster, I love you Honey! I wanna thank the guy in a silver Boxster (top down all day) for making me feel better about my driving abilities.
Thirdly, I thank everyone in attendance for making this day a "sensory overload" And last but not least I thank G*d for bringing me home safe to my kids.
Thank you.
I will post pics tomorrow after I sort them out (about 500) I do not know how to erase plate numbers, so if you do not wish to see your plate posted here, drop me a pm and I will e-mail your picture instead of posting it.

Fantastic day! Thanks Arnaud for putting it together ... and the weather gods even smiled on us!
Thanks for making us Vette guys feel at home!
Jim, it was a blast taking you around on the track, normally it can be a bit sketchy right after lunch, but you did great!
If you have any openings next year at your event, I'd be happy to show up again!
