I think we're on a roll folks. We average one wreck per drive now.

It's a write off for sure as the left wheel is pretty much under the car.

Well I guess I did speak to soon. I stopped after Joy Rd. Sorry to hear. I was concerned with that car because the conditions were not to great for the rwd.

open mouth insert foot.

Coming downhill into the sweepers at the end of petaluma-marshall, the road turned but z car did not. It ended up gounded on the embankment with terminal consequences for the car. It wasn't a good day for the tires on the car.

Ah man, that sucks. It would have been great to see everyone home safe and sound from that run. To bad that happened. I trust he is ok. I had a blast today. Till next time.

Thanks Paul.

But the day goes out to the knight i shining Forester. After the car wreck he stayed with Phil until his tow truck got there to help him out. Everyone one including myself left after hearing someone was on the way (i still am very sorry Phil) But the silver forester stayed behind to make sure these two kids were fine.

The drive was great up until the last few mile. Phil was less the 4 miles from the finish. But with rear drive and bad tires it was not a good combo.

The Z came SOOOOOOO close to going over the side of a major hill. and the only thing that stop him was a barbed wire fence. the car was toast and we'll never see it again. there is no way it'll be repared.


...But everything BAD asided, i would like to thank all that came and i hope most of you enjoyed theirselves.

My next drive will have to have a HUGE discaimer talking about how we have lost a car on "EVERY" drive i have ever put together.

But i do want to say. There were some VERY good drivers out there today. Folks that know how to pick a proper racing line. I'd be happy t have you drive with me any time.

-rich

ps: Sorry Phil about the car. He or she will be missed. (r.i.p)

Not EVERY drive. We all came back in one piece from the first wine tour.
