Good luck persuading the owner of the C2; it's a good platform.

Glad you made the trip. Sorry we didn't get to ride together. How were the shocks on the way home? Maybe the toe of the boot knocked them back into propershape.

X2 MO is a lot different than the Glen but you leave with the same grin on your face and it takes you three days to come down from your drivers buzz.

I felt bad afterwords for spending so much time telling him ahead of time how to be courteous to all the Blue drovers who would surely be passing him
Feels great to get that promotion to blue, thanks Dave. And it feels even better to make it through a weekend and have no need to tear the car apart (or put it back together).

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 !
Slow learner? 2010 Green and now in Black? At this rate Potomac is going to need to come up with some new colors for you! Great having lunch you at the track and hearing your racing stories.

fine on the way home, no issues. and funny coincidence, i sent tom a lengthy email that included sort of the same thought: since it seems to happen only on the street but performs flawlessly on the track, it's as if the rough handling "cleans out the cobwebs" or something. (btw, he fwded my email to mike and i am looking fwd to hearing back on their thoughts as to next steps.)

ohhhh yeah, you still owe me that ride. tell you what, let me take the GT2 out solo at SP in july and we'll call it even.

Good times, but drove like crap and never really got in a grove. Had BMANs wife as a student (Talk about a lead foot, she puts him to shame). Rode with Paul who is driving very well (congrats on the promo). And like Anotnio said, will be doing SP CR Enduro with him (He offered sat night while drunk, and I'm holding him to it )

thank you for pursuading me that it was worth the drive and time off work! THE best track i've driven so far (vs. all 3 @summit, both @NJMP, and VIR...altho i must admit VIR is a close 2nd). WG def keeps you on your toes and helped hone my heads-up vision/awareness skills tenfold which ran the gamut from: navigating radical elevation changes, managing turns with less off-track visual cues than i am used to, as well as having to quickly adjust for some parts of the track being dry while others totally wet, all the way to being able to quickly spot and avoid a dead animal between T3/4 without hitting a wall.

i will DEFINITELY be back next year and might even make it up again this season.

thanks again and see you all in 3wks at summit!
I don't think I even SAW you there - why didn't you come over to say "Hi"? But I'm really glad you made it up there. Your car will love Mid-Ohio.
