Default Photos from PDC run and Summit Point 7/24

Kevin, thanks for a great event today. I didn't take a lot of pics enroute cause it was more fun driving. Cool cars at the Shenandoah Circuit, except for the pace car in front of me... here some photos and hope to see others post also:

The ride out was great, but my ride home was even betterrrr?! Nothing like a flat bed transport for 2 hours. Car will be fine again soon. Great day Kevin! And everyone else, we have the best club, and cheaper, relatively, than Ferrari's.

Default Another fun run

I thoroughly enjoyed today's run to Summit. A very large group limited track time to 15 minutes for our session but it was worth it to learn the track. It was also fun creating a gap between myself and the car ahead of me and attempting to push the car through some of the turns before catching up to the car in front again. A lot of beautiful cars on a beautiful day with Porsche friends. What more could you ask for?

Were you behind my slow ass Rosewood (brown) Targa? "Attempting" to push through the turns is an accurate statement.

I want to thank everyone for the great day, Kevin you put on a great event, Bruce thanks for lending my friend a helmet. As always the people made the event.

This is my first time attempting to post photos. I also have in car video and I was going to post a lap; however, I do not know how or where to host video and post. Please PM me if you have some good ideas and I will get a lap up for everyone to view.






Well I did something wrong, anyone know what? here is a link to some photos

Thanks to Kevin for organizing a fun event and to Vu, Mitch and others for making the drive up to Summit point "exhilarating".

Here are a couple of photos from Summit Point. It was a shame we didn't have another run -- I was planning on sitting one out to take pictures of you guys. Maybe next time.

-Gary

Yes Steve. That was me. I am not sure what type of car was ahead of you though. Didn't look like a Porsche.

I built up a big gap between me and Dan while I was trying to figure out which way the track went. Once I figured it out, they let additional cars out. I had the world's slowest driver in an Acura RSX in front of me. I'm not sure if he had ever driven that car before, let alone on the track. It was painful for me to be behind him.

Still had a lot of fun though.
