FUN DAY! Thanks to Aaron and crew at Speed Ventures for putting on a great event.

The wind got to be a bit much later in the day, but seemed everyone had fun, and ran some fast times... Congrats again Kevin for setting the pace in your newly painted race car Clint was rockin' it as well with some really fast times... Tim Fitz, you got me by a second! Peter M, if you ever put on some stickies, we're all in trouble! Stig, you too! Lloyd, Donny, Joel, great to hang... nice to meet some of the new guys too!

I got a new PB, nothing to jump too high up and down about, with these fast guys out there, but I had a ball driving...

Here's a quick rendition of my fast lap of the day using the AIM SOLO DL for data and my 3 camera set up.. .still trying to sus out where I have to get the Throttle data/channel from, so it's probably not accurate.... and seems the LS7 config doesn't get oil temp ...

I'll get some more interesting vids up with more action and other cars as time permits... got some good footage of lots of folks!

Great time guys!

Great video of great driving, Dave. Surely you were inspired to greatness by Clivia's presence....as we all were.

Also, so that's what traction looks like. I'd forgotton that cars could hook up on the track. It certainly looks efficient and fast but I was probably having more fun than all you guys put together. At least that's my story.

Great turnout, fast lap times, and dry track !

Good to see so many familiar faces and meet a few new ones.

So nice to see everyone last weekend and to meet some new faces as well.

I don't have the patience or editing skills like Dave or Joel, but here is my last session following Tim F, Clint and Kevin.

Thanks,

Peter

Did anybody happen to notice that Donny did a 1:31? I'm thrilled for him. Also, the photos are up at Caliphotography.

I totally agree. We all know there's several more seconds to be taken off with his driving and in his car. He'll get there. A '31 shows he's on his way.

Nah, I was in the midwest 10 years ago, moved to the northwest for 8 years, and now to SoCal for the last 2. However, with all my business travel I'm sometimes not sure where "here" is

Default Red 3

A few laps of RED 3, with my 'inspiration' (per the Stig a few posts back :-), Clivia, riding shot gun ... We eventually (Lap 4-5) catch Lloyd, as he was having fun battling his wore out shoes ...

Why isn't she crying, swearing and threatening to jump out like my wife did to me at ACS. She didn't even last 2 laps
