I apologize to everyone for bitching about being hot all weekend. I'm sure (I know) it got old and was obnoxious. I didnt even realize how much I was doing it until I thought on it after getting home.

I had a blast tho. Gonna do it bigger and better next year.

Honestly didn't bother me. Hell, I had AC, and I got annoyed by the heat.

You and Jim had nothin' on those long drives.

I had a blast. Thx to everyone who came along and even those who made brief appearances! Sorry to those who had their cars taken out by my pavement destroying Z06.

Really enjoyed Saturday's busy schedule. I was very impressed that everyone made it up and out by 8am! Makers was awesome and so was the Vette museum!

Can't wait for next year.

Tail of the dragon anyone?? :naughty:

We had a chance to walk around and hit the observation deck. Definitely looked fun to drive but registration was closed because no instructors were available.

Had a chance to do several "touring" laps earlier in May. Nice 3.2 mile track and the "Sinkhole" is definitely an interesting set of curves. Good elevation changes along w challenging curves. I believe a 4000' front straight also.

wait... after you drove over that bridge is when the pavement started to break up and cause the accidents with the BMW's?

Even though we took the most reliable car we had, our luck wasn't so good with a blown tire on the first day & part of the road coming up on a bridge in front of our cars on the last day. What a freak accident. I swear it felt like pieces of plywood coming from everywhere like missels. Despite that, it was an awesome trip.

Thanks to [MENTION=12]Bru[/MENTION] for planning.
Thanks to [MENTION=85]EmersonHart13[/MENTION] & Heather for the ride to Dryer & Reinbolt & the awesome Giant Jenga set for parking lot fun.
Thanks to [MENTION=340]Eagle[/MENTION] & [MENTION=11102]Venomous[/MENTION] for taking us home.
Thanks to everyone that stayed with us outside of Peoria & got us cold water.
Thanks to [MENTION=60]greasy[/MENTION] for letting Paul drive your car & sitting in a comfy car for a bit. Don't need to slow down when taking turns. Haha
And thanks to everybody else for making me laugh & being there for us.

At least nobody was hurt. I will be glad to get my bimmer back. At least I don't have to drive back to Peoria to get it back. I was worried about that most of all. Kind of want to avoid that area for awhile!!
