What time are you all arriving? I realize that if Mark is travelling with his father-in-law he has no idea of when he is leaving, what he is doing along the way, and when he will get there. 

[Mark]

I'm leaving @ noon so I can get some work done at the factory this evening - see you guys there - my number is:
7 0 3 - five six six - eight seven five two.

[Hot Rod]

I'm leaving @ noon

Me too.

[Ed Hunter]

I'll be bringin' up the rear... I discovered at 10:00 this morning that I broke two teeth on the ring gear last trip to VIR...  It took me until 2:00 just to round up all the parts to replace it.  One trip to the Ford dealership, two trips to Advanced Auto, another trip to Napa, etc...  Just finished the job, will be leaving in 30 minutes after I pack....
So much for getting ready early...   

[Mark]

Thanks to Joe, Scott, Wade, Vic and Bill for a great time. The Trackdaze VIR event ended with tired smiles and shiny cars. Everyone improved and had a very fast Thursday. Friday had great morning runs until the rain ended a few of our days. We had two great dinners at the Tavern filled with more jokes than I can remember to tell.
Thanks Gang - I'm looking forward to the next event.

No Mark, thank you for setting up the room. A great time was had by all and it continued to be that way since all cars were put back on the trailer to go home just like they came. 

[Wade Chamberlain]

Well...not ALL were put back on a trailer.     Although, after 3 hours in the rain, I was kinda wishing I had a trailer.     Great couple of days. 

Vic - did the weather hold out long enough for you guys to get in another session or two?

[Scott Harrison]

Weasel...the rain was punishment for banishing me from the guest bedroom in the Villa.

Mark, thanks for arranging the accommodations.

This will have to be an CACC annual event. Maybe next year we can get more than 7 of us to sign up.
Here's some inspiration to attend....

I not sure you really want me to post this, but right after you left we had a tremendous down pour that effectively washed off the track. From there, the track just dried out. By the end of my second session, the track was dry. I left after that, never to see rain again (actually that sounded good, but I did see some light rain off and on during the drive back, really not much.

[Wade Chamberlain]

Elder - I offered to take my mattress upstairs and sleep in the living room.  It was your choice to take the couch.  That said, I cannot possibly express how much I appreciate the fact that you did!  I may have had to suffocate you with a pillow if I had to go through another night like that.  Never heard that kind of snoring in my life. 

Where did the pics come from?

Where did the pics come from?

Dervish emailed those to me. They were on the CD he bought from the event photographer.

That is an amazing shot of the Grand Sport leading the C6 Z06.  Which was faster?
