Guys,

I want to thank you all for coming out and giving this a try. Now that you have tried it once, lets get another date on the calendar early enough to have a car show and maybe even a corvette smack down of some sort. This could be a blast.

Anyone have charity ideas? I will gladly make a charity event as well. All in the name of fun and friendship.

I was disappointed that we had a wet surface and a delay getting started. I am pleased to hear everyone had a great time.

Everyone that couldnt make it: You were sadly missed.

Ed: I am glad you guys are ok, sounds like your buddy needs some HPDE time. I can arrange for skid pad time if you can get him up here safely.

Again, thank you everyone. !!

A special award goes to Mike Chaplin, who in the final melee was gridded last but finished 4th! Way to go Mike. Gotta be a nickname here for you (finally).  "Mine-that Bird" or Calvin Morel come to mind but are too arcane and certainly not catchy?

Also for the "voyeurs" of the club, Small Ball Flanigin took a bazillion pictures. Hopefully he will edit them down to a smaller number of embarrassing shots...like Dervish (or me) getting black flagged....or Protector going into the grass/mud...and many more!

Tinky...all we need is a dry track and some hot Pit-Babes.

Tinky -

Had a great time. We will definitely have to do that again. The 15 man race at the end was definitely the most fun.

Tinky, I really had a great time.  I hadn't driven a real cart since 1963 and was amazed at how much my times had improved by the last race.  Looking forward to driving 550 miles to do it again.  Thanks.

Tink,

Great time. We do need to do this on a dry though.

Ed, I hit the same spot, but Porsche Stability Management pulled me out. I was thinking, "Man, I'm glad I wasn't in the Cobra going aroung that corner"

Colin,

I had a great time.  Felt better and better as the track dried.  A dry track would be amazing!

Thanks so much for all the work for us to do this.

Thanks Tinky.

I enjoyed it also. Georgia is really a pretty little girl. She seems very happy and content with her life as the successor to Danica.

I gave out copies of the CD with all of the photos from Summit at VI on Saturday.  A number of the participants were not there so if you want a copy of the cd send me an e-mail with your mailing address.

Thanks for the disk Don. That's a lot of effort ... and a lot of pics.
Some of the sequence shots make a decent vid when viewed rapidly like a flip book.
