Not going to blow her up now.

Now just looking forward to some more things I can do to the car, when I can afford it.

BTW. When I got my car it had a ground effects kit and wing(still does). You could tell Jeff was envious of my wing.

Yes, the car is a lot of fun now.

Jeff seemed to be more into Philly cheese steak than pizza.

Hope all is well with you and Deb.

Roger, it was a pleasure meeting you and having you hang out for a bit. Fred really enjoyed giving you a ride at the track at speed and getting a feel for the track going. I think that high was only surpassed when you drove your car after the coil pack change.

Hope to see you at Petit in October.

Chris, thanks for the use of your garage and tools.

Great to meet you, Roger (and Chris as well!). I cannot think of a more enjoyable weekend that I've had in a long time. I'm so happy for you that your Z is running as it should now! But we can't forget your quote after you took it out for a test drive once Jeff fixed you up: "Is it wrong to love another man?!?!" LOL! That made it all worthwhile, buddy!

BTW, I sure wish you could have stuck around to ride for a few more laps today. I know you had such a blast yesterday, (and it really made my weekend to hear you so excited about it!) but we just got goin yesterday when the checkered waved-- we weren't even up to speed yet! We'll have to reschedule you for another run sometime... Anyway, glad you can enjoy your Z now....good luck w/ the wing and ground effects!

Fred

wow roger , 2 e ticket rides in one day , sounds like you had an awsome day .its nice to see a group of folk care so much .now if we could have that rub off on the world ..... oh well just a thought . i would have been scared to death in that race car. i can only do straight line .so auto crossing in your future ?those rides can get ya hooked

i would have been scared to death in that race car.

I wasn't scared.

Who am I kidding heck yes I was scared in that race car.

Like Fred said the tires hadn't gotten a chance to even heat up and I was screaming like a girl. There is one turn where you come over a hill moving right, I don't know how fast we were going, all I know is we were moving laterally as well as forward and Fred never got off of the gas. This was the turn where a guy dumped his Porche turbo.

It was great. Way too expensive a hoby for me right now though.

Fred gave me a new appreciation for REAL driving.

I hate I had to end my weekend short late on Saturday.(sick kid at home)

I look foreward to anymore events that gets guys like this together.

Man it was fun.

The problem was clearly the exhaust I sold him.
