Notice the Tach on this last one... it's actually a close up of the shot above it.

Wow!

Some great shots!! Love those oversteering and tire roll over angles.

Thanks for posting...even if only one was of a Corvette.

Great time! Really enjoyed the course. 8 runs!!!! The corvette really put on a show. Nothing sounds quite as good as a big V8.

Here's a video of Howard just before he snatched FTD away

One of the Solo Vee sort of muffled down.

I was the one responsible for the tech issues... since Brian (Muddy) jumped in to help setup (as it was rather needed).

Loren: I did tell people to remove floor mats and loose items, though I did not come back unless the person wasn't there for me to tell, because of time. So I'll be more thorough about it in the future... but I did in fact bring it up to everyone who left them in the car. Also... I do occasionally pass cars that are incomplete when I know the owner will fix the issue prior to running. Example: I passed your car when it had no numbers on it and you were busy working on something else.

About the battery and water bottle... they were the same person (my roommate). The battery did not appear "tip-able" so honestly, though it may have been preventable, I'm not really sure how that happened. The water bottle thing is not an issue of tech... as it ended up in the car after the fact... I know exactly what the contents of the car were at tech because I reminded him to remove his laptop that was in the front seat.

Bill: I did tech your car... you just weren't there when I did it. I just dotted over the old dots on any cars that had them. But I agree with the color idea.

Brad: Great pics... thanks!

Mike: I think you did a great job, especially being short handed. I had a fantastic time... awesome choice on the course. Hopefully more people will step up and help in the future... great job!

That is impressive! Best auto-x video I've ever seen. Keep it up!

Great job Mike - awesome event. The things I'll take from this one are....

It was hot....
It was REALLY hot...
Getting beat by a Yaris makes me have bad dreams...
It was mad dog hot.
