We will be practicing over the next year so that never happens again!

Jim, your hospitality was the best.

David, Joe, Rick, Glenn, and everyone else... it was great to spend time with all of you and we look forward to more events and great times to come!

Oh, and "We drove it like we stole it" on the way to Nashville on Sunday. NCM to the airport in 44 minutes!

Oliver,

Great time, great friends and awesome cars... What else could we ask for??? Strippers perhaps? Neah.

Hope you can make Carlisle this year!

Cheers

David

Very nice to see the old faces but really nice to see the new ones. This year we had several "newbies" who were a blast. It’s always nice to see that glimmer in their eyes as they experience everything for the first time.
The Museum was setup superbly and the staff did a very good job. Everything flowed very well and I saw no hangups whatsoever. Even Roc is getting better at this…<huge grin>. No actually, most of you know that Roc and I had some disagreements in the past regarding the event so he and I had a nice long lunch a few months ago and like two mature adults, put our heads together and came out with a very positive attitude for the future. I wish that could be said for all within our group….
You guys kept the shop busy with misc repairs and services. Sure glad I keep all those old parts just in case!
Anyway, all is well, beagle’s almost recovered too.
Thanks Gang for another fun weeknd.

P.s. The weather today is absolutely brilliant. Not a cloud in the sky....

Jim,

Thanks for your hospitality and a great time!

Hope to see you again soon.

JVD(Jim)...Keith and I were sure glad you had an spare used 315 35 17! That chunk o' metal did that GS-D3 some serious damage! I know Keith really appreciates what you did for him...and I do too. You are a stand up guy for sure. Without your support we would have driven home on a space saver or we would have had to drive to Nashville to get a tire from Mr. Biffle. Again...thanks a bunch...you are a true gentleman.

What happened to Keith's tire? What happened to Ron's car? details man, details...

I'm with Uly in thanking JVD for the help with Keith's tire situation and the hospitality at the BBQ!!!!


This noob is now has a better understanding of the words "Brothers of the Beast"....no one from the outside would believe it if you told them.



Keith ran over a piece of metal that ripped a gash in the tread & right thru the carcass, tire went down in a split second. The debris was on the entrance ramp for 65 north bound from Exit 22.

I'll let Ron tell what happened to his LSV.

The GM video presented by Jim Ingle was outstanding. If anyone has heard a faster 1->2 shift please step up. We've got to invite Jingles next year and get him to do a drag racing seminar. And maybe show his signature 360 degree burnout ... And he said he never broke a ZF after all that.

And thanks to JVD and the beagle (I left some MGD Lite in the fridg).

Thanks for the pics qb93. I had to lol at the third gear to second gear downshift at the drag strip!
