Rain and what to do on Memorial Day?
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?
so we ended up at the track! 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 Tom

Re: Rain and what to do on Memorial Day?
some of the cast for the race.
Boris' ride for the day. one of the many Camaros. 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!

Re: Rain and what to do on Memorial Day?
Thanks Frank! Here are a few more.
playing X-box or what? He started the car with that thing! Time to go to work. Boris had a later stint. There is a corvette some where in there! The only bigger crowd was over at Patrick Dempsey's pit.....that's where all the women were lined up!
