well guys, how was the weekend? i got the car running and the roof fixed. Glenn, One of the Instructors walked up to me first thing and asked for me by name -- He had on an SVT Cobra T shirt and said he knew you and Mitch. Being the gracious soul that I am I did not hold that against him but I did eye him with some suspicion since he freely admitted it. Sorta squinted at him like Clint Eastwood in Hang 'Em High. Met y5e06 ( Morgan) and he was working hard getting his CMC car sorted. Met Stangkiller. I also hooked back up with GuySS for the first time since Big Bend. He drove up for just a few hours in a sweet little '40 Chevy. As far as my experience? I had a mind bending time... That is really the only way I can describe it. It was humbling and frustrating at first but by the end of the day Sunday I was throwing the car around the curvy parts alot better. Becky Laughlin was my instructor both days and she was a patient soul - God bless her. She did take me on a ride in her Porsche that was just astounding. I have never been anywhere close to this kind of experience before and there was a pretty steep learning curve. Even though the ORR car is not set up at all for this, it did pretty well. Tranny (A4) ran hot even with a cooler because there was just not enough air getting to it. The tune was all wrong since I have the converter locking up and stayin locked at 90mph plus. The extra weight in the car killed me -- and my arms. The alignment was not good for this and I could go on and on. Am I going to make any changes to the car? No, it is a specific purpose car and it does well at what it is built for. Did I learn anything? Most definitely! I have some videos and pics I will post later. |

That was me Andy, sorry I didn't get back around to visit with you some more but after the "Dirty Harry" squint I figured you were busy lol. Glad to hear you made the most out of the weekend, I had to bail after Saturday but really enjoyed that track time and the weather we had. |

I would be chatting with someone and just start getting into it when they would call my group to the grid. Not a lot of time for visiting. The weather WAS extraordinary for mid-December. T shirts were perfect for the temps. |
