You bettered your PB by .5 seconds.. Congrats Marc.

Should have taken out your seat and sway bar... Next time, I wont ask you, I'll just do it...


Bruce and Kurt, I know I (we) give you a lot of crap for not racing, but I want to say thanks for being there. It was nice to finally meet you two.

Thanks, it was a lot of work but well worth it. In the end, everyone did their part which made it much easier. Pretty well rounded group here.

I believe there were 21 in our group. We were hoping to get a photo of all the cars, but we got a late start and were too excited to bust some numbers.

We're going to end up with hundred's of photos. Jon Cona did an amazing job. My neighbor was next to him snapping over 300 pics. Kurt was manning one of many vid cams. Fartpipe had the porta potties covered.

We ended up braking two axles and the side case of the C6z rear... No problem for Mark (Tirecraft) though... He changes my axles in the time it takes some guys to change tires... Thanks Mark!

It was really nice to meet everyone. What a great bunch of guys!

Thanks again for all your hard work Dave!

The track was ok but it definitely could have been alittle better with more track prep. I know it was perfect for the corvette guys. Did anyone get any video of my big wheel stand or pics?
phillip.....I THINK YOU WILL FIND A NICE WHEELS UP SHOT IN THE PICS I SENT YOU.....JON
