Nice, I'd like to use those on our site, I'll have to talk to him about it. It needs updating, the pics we used don't have the front Greddy lip. We need to hire Jansen, he takes nice shots. Ken will be out there as well.

I spun on my fourth corner of the day and got it out of the way.
The good news was I only used about 1/8 of a tank of gas (and I made it home unscathed).

any pics of #809?

I'll probably show up for a couple hours to watch the action tomorrow afternoon. Which lot(s) are they allowing you to park in?

Lots of carnage out there, I was not really jealous of the people on the track... I will be driving HPDE4 tomorrow morning but I will probably be leaving in the early afternoon around 3pm or so.

CGM STi with the X on it. Come by and say Hi!

i don't think i do. i got there pretty late and some parts of the track was off access to cars, so i got kinda screwed by that.

I was in the area so I decided to stop and watch up at turn 1-2. I've never seen so many cars spin and get sideways, looked kind of fun though! It was all race prepared cars so I'm not sure it was an HPDE, unless Group 4 was only race cars yesterday?

I'm glad Ian and Demitri are alright- they both had really bad crashes.

It's always hard to see someone wreck. Glad to hear both drivers are OK. Subaru's are pretty stout vehicles when it comes to crash protection.

There were several other wrecks this weekend, one a Porche GT3.

It's not easy driving in the rain (all of Saturday) and when the track is dry in some spots and wet in others (first half of today) it is possibly more treacherous. That said, there is great value in experiencing wet track conditions.
