You'll notice some really early, and probably unnecessary, braking. I'm still getting used to the new sway bars. The car's just so darned smooth with them, I'm having a hard time developing a new performance paradigm.

ok, this was or wasn't the same route as the "spring carbon cleaning"? cuz' there was some nice uphill, downhill twisties on that! and that gravel road is all clear now?!




Mike, it's a completely new route. I ran it Tuesday and it was a blast. I had to make some adjustments to eliminate long stretches of gravel, and the one bit remaining was smooth as asphalt anyhow. With just a 15knot onshore flow the sight at Westport Light Park was incredible. Given the mood Mother Nature seems to be in this weekend, it should spectacular tomorrow.

Not the same route. I'll re-use roads, but not entire routes. This one was all new roads.

Night Owl Drive on the 8th, Sunday Drive on the 16th. If you're coming on the Sunday Drive, make sure your suit or tux still fits.

As long as you'll fit in with this crew. Really, it's not a requirement, but it does make for a fun time.

Hey Kris. Who's that guy on the right in the back with the hat on? I've heard about him but don't remember the last time he actually drove his car.

I think Mr Stocking cap's name started with a "D", but I really can't remember.

I spoke with Volney on Thanksgiving. They got the house they wanted, and Tracy has started a new job. Volney is still looking for a place to set up shop. Judging by the echo, their house is as big as it looked in the pictures.
