Ken, thanks for taking the time to focus in on some nice pictures of the event. We had some pretty fast cars and heavy competition. I saw that you were pretty quick with your times too! Job well done on both counts.

Glad you had fun Ken. I think most people either loved it or hated it. We just wanted to do something a little different, but I feel bad cause I don't think most people enjoyed it like I had hoped they would. Too many people getting lost out there.

Thanks for the video! Was that an early run? Please say yes, I look so slow!

It wasn't a no brainer, you needed to learn it and drive it. Putting a full clean run together was tough, I don't know how anyone was going through the finnish line straight, I know I never did


That was in the middle of the second set of runs

Ummmm, Uhhhh, that was a cone that was knocked down, ummmmm, ummmmm, by someone in front of me and ummmmm, uhhhh, it was in the middle of a turn when I came by. Yeah, yeah, that's what it was.
Chris and Al, that was an awesome momentum course. Wish I had taken one of the Zs.

Default Thanks Chris & Al

Thanks Guys, I had a great time. Even this old guy didn"t get lost - just not fast enough to keep up with the young guns. It was cool to have a new idea at Poletown.
Nice camera work Ken, I realy enjoyed them.

It was definatly diffrent and challenging. I am glad that many of you enjoyed it and had fun mashing cones! God knows you had to drive at em and hope you didn't hit anything. We appreciated the help with corners workers,grid,and everthing else. So thanks everyone for a fun and crazy weekend and for all the Convention goers enjoy Sebring!

Well I enjoyed the course and had a great time....I even had a few pretty good times. And for once in a blue moon I beat Schwammy.

My only regret was going thru that u-turn box sideways and just not quite making it all the way to the exit gate. It wasn't fastest, but it was funnest.

Must say it was interesting sight to see you have to turn right to go STRAIGHT out of the corner. All in good fun!

Sorry I missed it guys. The kids wanted to get home after the whole day at Waterford Hills. We did stop at the Henry Ford Museum on the way though. That was pretty cool.

Tim, that picture of Private Pile looks just like you!

That grin reminds of you when you pulled off after your runs on Saturday.

Was that before or after I found that Jim had beat me by 6 tenths?

Well, with Pvt Pile loading shells into the magazine along with the grin, I would say, after.
