What, no details on track day? How did you do Omi? Who all drove on the track?

I drove back to highway 103 today and up highwya 5 to Mt Evans. 103 is a blast! Even the second time around. 5 was not a road you want to drive fast on at all....if you haven't been up that one, don't go expecting to fly up it....narrow with straight down drop offs but what views!

Meet was great fun. Those that couldn't make it this year must plan now on attending next year.

I like Doc's pictures the best; brings back the days before my cataract operations. But would be nice to know who was who. Anyone gonna post an ID guide -- for either the cars or the drivers -- for us non-Rocky denizens?

Also, who thought Omi's exhaust was too loud, and who thought it was just right or not loud enough?

Omicron was just running his Borla -- no midpipe or cat. The question is -- was RXHusker's exhaust too loud :D

P.S. -- that's me in pic 20, 21, 25, 26, 27,30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36 (my favorite!), 44, and 84.

Doh, I knew that! So that's where your road trip was to. (Didn't think there were many mountains 'round Omaha.) Jealous I ain't in range. Well then, same question re the RXHusker exhaust (from outside and inside the car).

Re the Pics, does numbering refer to the club web site pics? If so I'll need to get a signet ring to get on.

You should be able to just click on the link Serff posted above to access the pics. I haven't gotten any complaints on my exhaust noise -- I didn't even notice the interior noise level on my trip (over 1300 miles in 2 days).

Dang, I feel lucky (many times over). First I win 3 out of 8 raffle prizes. Then I'm the only one from Utah that didn't get a ticket coming back home. Project I'm sorry about the clear corners, if I'm as lucky next year I will make sure your first to trade off prizes with :D I also enjoyed the drive out with you project.

Omicron, Doc and I finished up day 2 with a nice sortof mini-meet to put on the Borla exhaust (among other small mods). Thanks again for the help with that Paul, and thank your wife for the drinks and snacks for me and my friend. Paul I will be sending your a PM about the exhaust shortly.

The Cobra museum is only open on Saturdays so we had to bag that idea for this trip, but now I know and can plan ahead for next time I head out that way. I did end up getting the Escort Passport 8500 X50. I guess it's pretty new and it's only been out a few weeks to a month. Best buy had it on sale :D (the version with the blue display is $40 more!?!?!) But the only time I had real alerts from it was going north on I25, I got Lasered.

Yup, there's one spot there just south of Loveland, CO where there must be some other source of Laser other than cops, as I always get it there too.
