Rain and what to do on Memorial Day?

[tomtom72]

Yea, it rained hard just as I put the nose of the Z out of the garage door at about 7AM. But me & Lou (louispf ) made plans to go see some people he knew from the old days when he was the Promotions department at SoBe and later MotorSports Promotions at Pepsi. Soooo, I got rain tires on the girl, and what's a little water on the track gonna do?

Lou talkin' about old times. Yea, he knows Boris for awhile.

....and he knows Scott for a long time too, so we visited with him right before grid time. It was waaaay cool for a road racing fan like me to actually meet the drivers that I watch on TV!

I have more and if I get a chance I'll put some more up and leave a link to my bucket page. I gotta get a better camera for sure!

enjoy:cheers:

One of the teams that needs no intro. I was watching these guys when Gregg & Hayward were the guys to beat in GTu....back in the dark ages!

Bond, James Bond.......we were up near the car corrals and I saw this. If I ever get some cash, I want one of their cars. I think they are art.
