That's not what he's worried about. He's worried about the $400 bill for Medical Services.

Great event. 2nd time to WG. Friday sessions were spent trying to get acquainted with the new car and familiar with WG again. Had fun following a couple people and trying some different lines. Saturday was like somebody hit the reset button, just a really off day for me, nothing was gelling. Sunday's sessions were great, was really pushing the car a bit more, with some holy sh$t moments, at it's capabilities. (Can't wait to get to Summit). I just wasn't any more comfortable to push things too much. Chased Bob M a for a few laps on Sunday which had me into the 2:17's (still way to slow for the car).

Great to see everyone and put some faces to some of the names around here.

Now I'm not going to wait 4 years to go back...

Since you had to leave early, I did ride with your student the last session. Fortunately, for the most part I kept my mouth shut. She did know the line and the few suggestions I did make did not result in divorce.....now if we could only get her out of thrird gear

Thanks to those who offered to help me get to the track (Dr. K, TR) and those who helped ensure I got back home (Nader, Dr.K, TR, VASteve, Tony P, etc).

I also lost count of how many times I got lapped by Ryan and Brian. Those GT whatevers are kinda quick....

Some luck lies not in getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known.

Congrats to all the promotion-getters! Good job. Unfortunately, a BAD bug bit me Friday night, and I called it quits. I DO like the track, and have made WG a regular on my calendar. I'll be back.

Thanks to Dr. K for checking up on me Saturday, and to DR for the call last night. What a terrible way to experience the Glen for your first time.

Thanks to VASteve and Talon for riding right seat on Friday and showing me around the track. I finally started to "get it" by third session.

Like I said...I will be back.
