Look forward to seeing you again at Waterside.
I tried following him down the mountain at skyline and there was no way I could hang with him. Of course I used the excuse that I was in a C3 and his C4 held the curves better than mine.

The reason Jack "Sticks" to the road better is the secret gum he is constantly chewing!! I think he attaches it to his tires to save for later.

Hehehe Leo You know my Vette is ten feet wide in the turns up 211

Actually my secret is the five year old driving gloves with the fingers cut out!

And yes Dave, the episode Leo is talking about is the trip up the interstate at Bowling Green after he got his new car. There is no question it was a thing of beauty on the straightaway. It was Leo in front, James in second and george in third with me bringing up the rear. We made it from Wendell's Farm back to the Baymont Hotel in something like less than 15 minutes. We were running over 100 the whole way! I ran out of power at around 140 and he was still going! That was one of the greatest runs we have ever done

But back to the twisties! I think I can still hold my own

Info on Waterside will be along soon

seeya

Jack

Hey Leo........Jack was so far behind that he couldn't see the pecking order other than his own. Let me refresh your memory Jack....it was Leo and I up front, James pulling up the rear and you in the county that Leo and I just left from!
