Default PBIR test day Friday 11/26/10 Vettes & Video?

As usual, PBIR has the Citrus test day all day on black Friday....we are going to try to get a bunch of Vettes out and take some videos. Would like to see some forum pals come join us.

Plus PBIR always has a pro photographer that takes launch pics and sells you a nice framed version for $35. I have 4 of these and need to get this year's.

Come join us! So far it's Wanttospeed and Retrotech and likely Mike Clark.

Here is a sample of the pic they take each year, shine your car up!

Good to see some of the old video at PBIR. I noticed you didn't have the video of me "blowing your doors off"

Might come up to watch, my racing days are over

If I can't, hope you, Robert, Mike and who ever else shows up have fun.

Were you Robert and Steve at PBIR today? My wife and I stopped up for a while, got there around 11:45 and left when the rains came around 1:45. Thought I saw Steve's vette, but didn't see yours. Not sure what Robert is running these days.

Sorry Jeff,

The weather was so iffy all day that I decided to use the time to finally organize my garage after moving 3 months ago!

Plus Rob had trouble getting his trailer out of the lot he keeps it in.

I'm looking forward to some cooler weather!

Were there many people there?

I could count the number of people in the stands on both of hands. Very few cars made runs during the time we were there. Trailers kept coming in.

The fastest run was from an old style rail (engine in the front) did 6.4@201.

I might go back tomorrow, not certain, hearing stories about the grandkids coming down. Much more enjoyable!
