I had fun riding right seat. Being the ballast in the right seat of Eric's (sorry about the helmet) RSA inspired me to try to get behind the wheel of the C2 if the owner allows.

Yes, fantastic weekend. Thanks to the Daves and the tech crew for getting up early (fastest drover I followed all weekend was DR in his pick-up when he was late for tech), thanks to the DE crew for organizing it and many thanks to John Galloway, Tom Philips, and Tony P for the instruction.

Also had a lot of fun getting to know Dirk and Bob better - those guys should write a book together!

I agree - two paws up for the weekend.

My thanks go to Hazel for an incredibly instructive and exciting ride in a rag top. She told me her sight references and track references lap after lap on the communicator while driving spot on perfect laps in red. Also thanks to Jerome for opening a fresh can of his ATE brake fluid to top off my slowly emptying reservoir as my pads wore down - Jerome, I've ordered a fresh can to return to you. It was great meeting old friends and making new ones at the dinner that was in a super new venue. And finally, thanks to the usual suspects who work so hard to make it all possible. It was a really great weekend.

Great weekend,
My first event with PCA this year, had a lot of fun and really nice to see all the Dorkies

Wife got sick thursday afternoon and decided to stay home with kids.

. On my way up I got a call and I found out that left my defender at home

Had a chance to ride on DR K car and notice how nice a 2600 lb car drives and brakes compare with my.

I am a very slow learner when it gets to know a new track but with the help of DD, DK, Steve and Dirk I was much better on my Sunday runs. I think I should be fine for the 2012 CB.

BTW
The lattest news !
2010 Green Drover and made to black at WG. also Ryan and I have team up for the enduro at SP CB...

Love it !

Was at WG back in 2008, and recall how challenging it was for us using street brake pads on both our cars. Much better experience this time around with proper track pads.

Thanks for Nader for the pointers from the right seat. Mid-day Friday the track suddenly clicked, and I began to really appreciate its flow.

Got an E-ticket ride with Brian W. in his "not of this world" GT2, until one of the tires went flat. And no.....it wasn't on my side.

Cindy had a great time working with her student. Its becoming more & more evident how much she's enjoying the challenge. On the other hand, I was without student; mine was part of a group from Miami that rented a hauler to bring up their cars....but as luck would have it, the hauler's motor blew. Dohhhh......

It was also good to see Andrew F. learn from his mistakes in the mechanical arena. But in the end, his rebuilt caliper was functioning much better at the end of the weekend. DR/TR is quite the mentor when it comes to fixing stuff!

Good seeing everyone. And kudos to the Sat nite dinner organizers for a very nice evening. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to venture out for some picture taking during lapping sessions. Between the threats of rain and a string of busy weekends, my level of ambition was somewhat diluted. But I did saw a number of others toting camera's, so I hope we get to see some of their postings.
