Well, i went out to my car at lunch and everything is all set up and ready to go! Looks great....i sure hope it stays that way, last week one of my co-workers did his own little autocross, i heard his fan went thru his radiator that night too!
I see he's in his van tonight, so hopefully, everything will still be in tact in the morning.
I probably won't be there till around noon....won't get out of here till about 1am.
Cya's then!

Saturday is over, it was a BLAST!!! went very well

"Makai2200", Yes, we used your car to sit on and drink beer after setting up the course Friday night. You parked in a perfect spot!!! Thanks! I hope we didn't leave any water rings or anything on your hood.

Sunday looks to be just as good, if not better.

My son Tommy and I had an awesome time out there today. He took over 200 pictures so I'll try to get them posted up soon.

Good to meet a bunch of new friends out there today.

Tom,
Thanks to you and your crew. I finally got a run through that was not a DNF; and have a lot more respect for my car.
Beautiful day, great cars and good people.
Let me know the scheduled weekend for next year; I'll try to get some of the Lookingglass Corvette members to come.

A little harder than Drag Racing Isn't it The steering wheel is more than something to just, "hang on to"!

Tentative 2009 date is October 10th and 11th, 2009 [may change]

I'll post it here, and try to remember to e-mail the Looking Glass Corvette Club direct as well. Glad you had a good time, "We LOVE compliments" and I DO pass them on to our workers who make it all possible
