Randall,
I just went through 75 pages of photos on Killboy.com and not one picture of you guys! Maybe when he posts Sunday's pictures?

Killboy.com takes about a week to post pix. When they're up, I'll post an address link. I'll have to buy a shot of me for sure. Bought a hat too!
What a simply amazing place. The two day drive each way was EASILY worth it.

I really wanted to come, but had to stay in the DC area on standby for an assignment that never materialized...story of my life.

I would like to plan another trip for the forum members in September or first weekend of October of 2008... that'll give everyone a LOT of time to make plans and clear their schedules.

I hope he braved the rain Saturday morning and got some of us then. How much faster was it Sunday when it dried up?

Cutter, I think we were on the Tail too early for Killboy on Saturday. I checked all of the pics...and I don't see us. 
Sunday was mucho fast.  Amazing what our cars can do. Sammy and NickCats were great "teachers" and line setters for us.

Bill, that is so cool! Unlike most of the shots, I can actually see you in the car with that look of total concentration. Sweet.
DM, I looked through the whole 75 pages of Saturday, May 5th and didn't see you guys. He was out there in the rain because he got pictures of seven million Minis in the down-pour.

For future reference, my sister was at Fontana Village (just down 28 from the Crossroads of Time) the week before for a dog show, and they have their liquor license, so I don't guess the whole place is dry. I think the Minis were based out of Fontana. Next time we should stay there, although I did like the Two Wheel Inn.

Daddy likes!!! The exhaust had a great sound to it... definitely not ricey! Randall's exhaust sounded fantastic as well!
dmcutter, the speeds definitely stepped up a notch or two (more like a different scale) with the dry roads.

Where are all the good pictures, dammit?!?!?!
If DJ had gone we wouldn't be having this problem!!!!

Great shot!
I echo Patrick. Excellent trip and company!
Took me 2 washes and 4 hours to clean my car...and the hotel cost me more than I thought... I heard my wife say it was $50 a night; she corrected me at $150 and the guys at the table enjoyed that. But when we checked out, it was really $180 a night. Going to put some more marbles at the top of the stairs this evening!

Nice...
BTW...besides the rain (I must of missed the writeup) how were the roads?
Were there a lot of other cars/clubs/bikes competing for the same roadway?

Randall-
+1 for the fall trip. Definitely want in on that one.
Would love to see that place with fall foliage. It will probably be crowded with "leaf peepers", but still worth the view.

i would say that looks a little on the ricy side, but when put into context where you were and the experience/memories, i would probably rock it too hehe, nice touch and placement as well, i like it
and all you bastards, i was stuck in chicago, but did end up going to 1st pca autocross, so there lol
glad you all had fun, and finally nice to see Bills car dirty

dmcutter, I purchased a similar set of decals for my windscreen. I think they are a nice subtle touch as a reminder of the weekend.
On another note I had no idea how much I would laugh this weekend. There were so many one liners that had me rolling!
