speaking of which, last night I found some old video of my first time at Summit Point, which was my second DE ever. It is hilarious on so many different levels. First, there is some great video of the ghetto, including Bruce (mackliet) and Pari talking about economics or some such nonesense while Dave (Black Talon) films with commentary. Pari has a camo driving suit, and he looks like he means business.

I cannot believe my driving. I REALLY sucked. It is hilarious. I can't even describe how many things I was doing wrong, and I was slow as molasses (for driving a 996) to boot. Dennis Howard, my instructor, was very kind and patient. I am surprised he didn't tell me that I was an OSB candidate. the worst past is that I didn't even notice any of it when I watched the video after the weekend. Now I just cringe. Too funny. If I weren't so embarrassed, I would post it . . .

I have that video and I might post it....sell me the Targa for $10K and I won't

One of the funniest parts of that video is you waving to the flaggers - on every lap!!

I have a weather report for Friday at Summit Point; it could be a tribute to TD:

I did!

Look at my signature.

OK, just to make it official, I did something had no business doing. I bought Darrell's club coupe . . . #48 of 50.

I am still out of racing. I "might" do a few DEs next year (4 or less), but I obviously will not be able to enjoy the new car the way I could the track car. Here are a few pics.

BTW, until I saw and drove Darrell's car last week, I wasn't even entirely certain I would have a P-Car after clearing out my current stable. I saw it . . . I drove it . . . and that was all she wrote.

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

Oops!

Thanks Tony. I picked it up, drove it home, and then went out of town.
