Hi Guys,

I just got back from the track, had a great time!

Here's the deal.

No helmets needed, just drive up to the booth at the entrance of the track and sign a PCA waiver and a track waiver. You will then be given an wrist band. Then proceed towards the track to the stop sign. The track worker will allow you to cross the track when it is safe. Proceed across the track and follow the road to the false grid. Enter the false grid when the PA announcer calls for the touring cars. A worker will walk down the line of cars to collect donations for JDRF. Checks are welcome, no receipts will be sent. There will be a lot of good racing going on so enjoy the day! I probably will not be there since I was away from home all week (not planned).

BTW the track was clean and in good shape, the pace car allowed us to drive faster than most of us would take similar corners on our favorite back roads.

Hey Nick, had a great time yesterday! The roads were awesome and I loved seeing the Boxsters and the Viper run them. Thanks for setting this up.

I won't be able to make BHF today. I have wedding stuff to take care of.

Bill, Pat, Greg, Nick, and wives it was great meeting you.

See ya guys next time.

What a great weekend !

My buddy Greg and his girlfriend ( in the Viper ), my wife, Bmus and his wife, Chills, and Sammy all met up Saturday morning and took a nice ride out to Galena, IL. A beautiful day, some great roads, good food, and great conversation ( IowaS met us in Galena as well ) :

A special thanks to Paul ! Sammy, Bmus, and I met up at Blackhawk Farms in WI to watch the Milwaukee PCA race and at lunch they let us take our cars on the track. What a blast ! 20 laps at a real good pace ( much faster than I expected ! ) That was the most fun I ever had with my clothed on

Hope everyone had a great weekend as well…

Nick
