[QUOTE="03'Darin, post: 6583802, member: 6164"] Just another participant here that had a great time.... AGAIN!! :banana: I love reading the stories from the first timers at these events. I NEVER forget how excited I got when I had my first opportunity to do a ride along during a track event that I was just a spectator at. I couldn't belive there was something like this and it's TOTALLY LEGAL. I immediately started gathering parts and trying to scrape money together to build my first SSGT race car. In fact on the drive home I was already working on "the plan". lol The guys have already given you great advice as how to progress so I'll skip that part. First off I can't believe we got so lucky with the weather. The weather report on thursday was calling for 50-60% chance of rain for both Saturday and Sunday. Sunday was about as perfect of a day as you could get and other than being a bit to hot on Saturday, it's was a great day too. As someone already mentioned the group of people that attend this event are second to none. Except of course for the *insert multiple expletives here* in the white Ford GT. I rode with him as an instructor last year in a Saleen vehicle and my comment when I got out of the vehicle was "he should never be allowed on the track again". I still stand by that comment. Greg.... I was two cars behind you when you spun.... just far enough I didn't get to see it (because you were just up over the hump) but close enough that as soon as I saw the yellow waving I actually had a wheel lock up briefly under hard braking. All was good... you didn't hit anything.... nobody hit you.... and we didn't have any rear-enders (like we saw happen on 81 during our trip down) when traffic briefly backed up. Also it was another year with a nice variety of vehicles. Some awesome Fox Body cars (I'm very jealous), SN-95's, 197's, Saleens, Griggs, Focus's, a couple of GT's and so on... Plus one of the 3% in a vette (silver) that can drive. Attrition really seemed to be high this year. I feel bad for you guys that had to start the year with problems this early on.

Thanks Brian and Gina for the work you do to put this event together. It's come a long way since that first event at Beaver run. :burnout: I was fortunate enough that I only have a couple of small issues to address with my car. This was my 3rd event since I completed the transformation of the car and the first two involved trying to fix problems. I actually got to run the car a ton this weekend (I went out in both advanced 1 and 2 most of the weeknd) and it still drove up on the trailer under it's own power at the end of the weekend. :-D WELCOME ABOARD you new addicts and great to see all of the old ones!! After a L O N G night out Saturday our group came up with our official track name...... "Shot Girl Racing". :-D:-D Darin [/QUOTE]
