Thumbs Up SCDA Limerock
Great job by SCDA today at limerock.
They had an advance drivers day there today and it was one of the best days I had at the track. All the drivers were great. Funny there was no mandatory point bys today, but I got more than I did a few weeks ago. Just shows that it is not always the track which makes it a good event, but it is the drivers attitudes when they are on and off the track.
Good to See Jim and John again too. Figure Jim will get this in a few hours, but John should be home by now.
Oh BTW Jim
for a 10 min rotor change.

Weather was good and a great group of drivers, what a day.
I got home a little before 9:00 as we stopped for a bite to eat on the way.
Jim should still be sleeping as he had the long haul home, talk about a day of driving.

Great day at Lime Rock.....good people, great weather.
I got home at 12am.
Bridge construction on 495 slowed me down a bit....and then at 945pm, just short of Amesbury, MA, BOOM!!!....flat tire on the trailer. 
Got that fixed, and the remainder of the ride was uneventful.
Good to see you guys again.

A spare tire is a MUST for any trailer.....and a strong bottle jack that will lift the car AND trailer. My jack is 12 ton....

Thanks, I told her that she could not drive my C6Z unless she did a school. She did, and passed the blond in the Red Maserati with her Honda and Bruce Allen said she did well and so she has her own set of keys for it now.

I think this was very close to wheel to wheel racing without being timed thus less chance of damage.

I saw the Maserati and the silver ZO6 on the way home on the Mass Pike, they both had MA plates on the car.
So Gary you get married and then have to work two jobs.
I say get the wife working and you stay home and play with the car. 
Now we need to get Bob to come up to NHIS and play sometime.
See everyone in a few weeks at NHIS.
