haha, anyone that has met wally knows the boy can drive... although instructing i think makes his students go

haha, Wally's a good instructor for sure, and I hope him and I can play around in the instructors session.

Oh, and wally you better sign up for Time Trials!

very ,

obviously some hard core people going, should be really fun 2 run.

At least brakes shouldn't be too much of an issue. I'm going to take mine completely off.

Maybe if we bring some extra rotors, we can heat up some new ones and let them cool to the "freeze your lug nuts off" point and have our own VIR Cryo hardened rotors.

got a new hd cam (720p) for $129 at the electronic city place...Aipteck... never herd of it but is about as small as a digital camera and records onto sd cards.

guess I'll try'er out and let you know,
Say Cheese!

I'll be there

My sister in law has the Aiptech camera...horible inside and other low light conditions, but I've heard good things around outside shots with good light. Too bad there's no good way to share HD at this point...

You're right about that. I had Wallyman as a student one time at a PCA event at VIR and after a lap I wondered by the heck I was even in the car. There was nothing I could help him with.

You could have opened his beer and thrown the bottle away when it was empty.

Thats a little too early for me. See y'all on the 22nd.

Jody always wins the beer race. I still remember a golf cart full of a drunk jody, rob and cass chasing me down, looking for a sober person to go get pizza.

Oh yea, that was at Mid Ohio last July when we were stuck at the track with no means of transport.

We'd put away some beer that evening.

Cheesuz, my BIG coffin sized cooler can't hold enough beer for the Corvette Over The Hill Gang. If Jody was around the track with "No Transport" I'd have to have the local beer distributor park his truck next to my trailer to keep the cooler full. And that would be a full time job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not to mention the "car window" service we'd have to have for Jody!!!
