Sdriver...Hmmmm, I think something is missing but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Veggi - glad you are still liking LRP. It may be a while before I get there.
All, Here is another video from WGI. This one has my fastest lap, 2:35.08:
I know I am the slow poke of the group but I still have fun.

Veggi, how was the lead follows with GKP at LRP? Sounds like you guys had a good day.

Also just put some hankooks on my p-car. Tires, mount and balance was $1250. That was a chunk of change.

Everything on the p-car is expensive. I hear they even charge more for the air in the tires...Lead follows were OK, but not like watching you take Big Bend on three wheels.

Yup, Darn set of tires lasted only 13k on the street.
No more three wheel turns for me.
When is your next track day.

We went to Cooperstown area. The highlight was to be Brewery Ommegang, but it turned out to be really crowded. I laid out the route and everyone seemed to like it; had some good curves in it.

Sounds like a lot of fun. How many cars went this time?
First time I missed it. Usually I go with veggi and we share driving. And the great company.

I think we had 12 cars and 23 people. It ended at the Pump Station for some really good food and beer.

Sounds like 1/2 the number of the previous two years. I was hoping this event will continue. And I may be able to make it next year with veggi.

I'm sorry I missed this event this year. I know a lot of work and planning goes into pulling it off. I have been doing some events with the Berkshire British Motor Car Club recently. Nice bunch of folks with a wide spectrum of Little British Cars, or 'LBC's', as we call them.

Ok guys, we are set for a Friday meetup October 12 in Albany except for s-driver who has to work to pay for his race car.
Veggi has the place picked out. Something called new home cooking where we can choose to be vegan if we want to.
Eddie are you in. Also any of the MPGs or APS guys can make it?
