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

What an AWESOME weekend!!!

My favorite car from today was the older black 911 with the whale tale in the last photo of the show. Great job with the photo show and make sure you thank the Mrs. for taking a good part of the photos and for patiently sitting there while we drool over all the cars and the racing.

The "parade" was a lot faster than I thought it was going to be. I had no idea that they were going to let us take the turns so fast. It gets an 32.5 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Thanks Paul for the idea and the links (sorry we couldn't meet you there today)!

The Galena trip was great as well other than the parking. We couldn't have asked for better weather.

I'm babbling... I'll shut up now... ok... not yet...

Bmusatti, I'll be dreaming about road K and hopefully we can hit it in a couple weeks (I'm out next weekend as the last autocross of the year is on Saturday).

Great weekend! About 550 miles of great driving.

Thanks NickCats for setting up yesterday's drive and for the awesome slide show.

I enjoyed meeting new Forum members (IowaS and Chills) and seeing NickCats, Mrs. NickCats and Sammy again- my fellow Dragon survivors!

I plan on driving every Saturday, for the next 3 weeks, out on Country Road K. Round trip is about 320 miles. Late October the car goes to "sleep" until March/April 2008.

We are all so fortunate to have great friends from this forum, and wonderful cars.

Paul, thanks for telling us about the Blackhawk Farms event today. We had a great time. I will say a prayer for your family.
