You ****'s ready? Kevo I'm following you bro. Are we doing groups or what?

Damn it my rotors are delayed and wont be in til' Monday. I wanted to break the rotors and pads in but it's probably a good thing since this run is probably not the best time to break them in.

Sorry bro...didn't see the post until just now. You can always have my back...I know I won't get rear ended!

Yeah...you will want to properly bed your brakes before you run an event!

I am all prepped and ready to go...not sure about groups or not...we can figure it out in the morning though. I will be there aout 7:00 - 7:15.

Today was a bust because of the weather and the incident. But that's what insurance is for Kevo, don't sweat it. It was great seeing you guys and my son and I had a great run back into Kerrville so it was okay. Im gonna nap, peace out.

Yeah, like Milli vanilli said, "Blame it on the rain!" Hey TBK, I meant to ask, what bulbs are you running in your fogs?

Thanks for the support guys...made it home in one piece...my apologies for the incident...hated to bum up the deal for everybody...but given what could have been I feel very lucky.

Been playing it over and over in my mind. I have driven in similar conditions before and have faired just fine...you try to compensate for road conditions, but sometimes it just isn't enough...you misjudge...when your wheels let go, they let go...at that point there is nothing you can do except damage control.

But hey, it's mostly cosmetic...i'll get her fixed like new.

9k, Pup and Cornholio...I owe you guys for sticking it out with me and getting me back on the road. I appreciate you fellas...more than you know.

No problemo man, thats what friends do. Wet weather adds all kinds of variables. Kind of weird that we were commenting on you bringing a spare tire!! But **** happens man, just don't forget to get the wheels claimed and a claim for loss of value.

It's your first incident so there should not be any issues with your ins company. next time we run I will have to pass if its wet. My pretty baby is filthy.

Nice to see you guys. Sorry we had to leave, but my buddies (especially the drift car) would not have fared well in that amount of rain.

Sorry to hear something happened, but at least you're ok Kevo. Tell your wife to drive your baby now with no worries: you broke it in.

sorry I missed it guys, car lost a radiator earlier in the week thanks to an engine replacement that was completed by neanderthals a month or so ago, I'd been driving around with a cracked filler tube and we finally located the problem earlier in the week since I'd been smelling coolant while dirving for a while now. oh well, there's always next year

The incident was misfortunate, however, the weather kept the roads much clearer and provided for some nice runs.

Was great meeting you guys, very impressed with the turnout even w the rain. That's the first time my 8 has been driven that hard! Still trying to get a feel for the car at the limit and yes, A group was MOVING!! Kevin, sucks about the car, but man, it's waaay more important that you and everyone else was OK, parts can always be replaced, lives can't. Pleasure meeting the SA guys, I should see yall sometime coming up if another meet is planned. Guys heading back to DFW, drive safe and everyone stay blessed!!

I've got pictures from most of the DFW crew. Unfortunately, I'm gonna be catching a flight here in about 2 hours, so I can't post them right now. I'll have them compiled and posted by Monday night though!

Don't mention man, that's what friends do for each other. You would have done the same for any of us.
