Great captions, Sherm. The ride on 84 was brutal on the way home, my car was all over the place, Alex's was worse.
BTW I didn't push back, Georgie has a nice firm set.
When I got on 84, I gunned it....
I looked back and didn't see you guys so I slowed down to about 30 for a while, but the trucks were shaking my car when they passed. I figured you guys were really sliding.
Once the water got into my wheels, my car was shakin' like a bastard. It didn't stop until we got to the bronx.

Did you take RT.17 from RT.84?
We got off 84 and onto RT.17 and it came to a stand still....Got back on RT.84 to the Taconic and came home that way....no traffic

Yep, we got on 17 from 84, but there was no traffic.

Shermon, brave man taking video while driving in that crap.
I though I was bad taking a pic of my speedo at 170 mph.
There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity -- which side do you think I stand on? (nevermind, don't answer...)
Nothing exciting , just issues with airflow and the procharger kit - It gets real cranky when it get into the high 80's and above . It will be going into the Vette Doctors next week , they will figure out a way to make it work
Josh, I have a battery operated sawzall, we could just cut holes wherever you need them. Good to see you today, sorry to se you leave early.

WTH is that clear liquid on the car? JPM has told me of it as he says he sees it on every one of his events. I'm not sure it's correct to subject the cars to this mysterious phenomena.
A video clip of the rain on I84 (me, alex, jay) -- it was wild
That was some scary crap!!! I was doing 30 mph up that hill and I still started hydroplaning because there was a rut on the road and I'm running on bald road racing tires, which, brand new, are not rated for all weather use and don't have much of a tread to begin with. Danny saw how my vette was all over the road, it was raining so hard, I just couldn't get traction with all that water there, it was pretty scary.
Luckily, we made it home, as soon as I dropped off Danny, I went to my sister in law's B-day party. Just came home so I'm gonna start uploading my pics.
