Not that I have seen. Apparently it wasn't the engine but a tranny seal.

Wow! I'm reliving RA from 2 weekends ago. I dreamed all night long about running RA. It's like I was in HPDE for 7 hours. It was awesome! Had my instructor and everything. Didn't want to wake up and couldn't think of anything else. Need track bad! (Me thinks me addicted)

I will try to get the two sessions of usable footage i have up on my site tonight. I need to get it captured off the camera, but that should not take too long. I will post links when it is up, if anyone even wants to see it. Not as exciting as STF, but hey, it is track.

Silver - you got a one track mind
Sounds like a nice dream though. 7 hours of track time is great whether real or imagined and you didn't chew up your tires either as an added bonus.

We did not get a group photo.... That was a HUGE mistake. Don't know what we were thinking. I think I saw Val shooting the Easy-up/Banner but I have not seen any of his pics.

RSD, Looking good! Resize the images. They are too big. Take them down to about 1200-1400 pix wide. If someone needs a larger one, we can get in touch with you later. Can't wait to see the others. Thanks!

oh hey, one thing I did want to clarify:

at the dinner you gave me a hat (which i love...thank you thank you thank you again!!!) and I made a shocked statement. Something like, "You mean these come in different colors??!?!?!?"

I wanted y'all to know that my comment was not meant to imply that I wanted a different color, but my disbelief was in the fact that our Chicago group has 1) no hats 2) no sign 3) no big group showing at a track event 4) no shirts 5) well, I think you get the picture. I was truly stunned that not only did you have hats (and shirts, and a sign, etc) BUT you had them in MULTIPLE COLORS too!!!!

I was, and am, extremely impressed at your organization and dedication!!!

val, thanks for posting those up, i think you were the only one to take some group shots in the paddock, they complete the story. Lots of good pictures posted up there, from lots of good eyes. I just spent about 30 minutes this morning saving them.

RSD, them is kind words. we all enjoy what we do in this group, and we just want to make it a good experience for everyone involved, especially if they are willing to drive from a long way away, just to drive a track and hang out with a bunch of rotor heads.. I think at the root of it, we are just a bunch of car crazy people. And we enjoy what we do. I think that we have all made good friendships out of it, and all because of a car. I for one, am having a blast with it.

I would love to work out something for a group to go to Road America, now that would be a nice road trip.
Great pics on the GaRX8 site.
