Hey guys, I'm not going to make it, I wasn't feeling too hot yesterday and it's gotten a lot worst today. It would be one thing to drive 6 hours to get there, then be on drugs as a moving 3 cone. Weather looks like it's going to great, have fun, put in a extra lap for me.

So sorry to hear it Todd, hope you feel better soon. We'll run together in July or August.

Take care of yourself, I'll drink a beer for you

I just made to the hotel 30 mins ago, this has been a very long two days Although, still not as bad as Todd's.

Thursday AM --> take son to school for his finals, on the way back, get pulled over for expired registration, receive $70 ticket, not including the missing front lisence plate (stupid me, forgot to renew and temp reg. )

Thursday AM/PM --> start two new projects with hard deadlines, no time to loose, put teams together, talk with customer, write PMPs, etc., etc., and etc. Get home at 10 pm.

Friday AM --> make calls to friends for an emergency state inspection. However, rotors have to be replaced. Make more calls begging dealer to find front rotors, Tysons Porsche finds them and brings them from another dealer, schedules replacement.

Friday AM --> Take son to school for more finals, change wheels

Friday noon --> Make it to Roger (Authotherapy), he finds his friend to do the state inspection, 2 hours later I am out to MVA.

Friday 2 pm --> Make it to MVA, long lines, 1 hour later, I have a new reg and sticker.

Friday 3:30 pm --> make it to dealer, starving, they take the car, tech comes (GT3 specialist, Thomas), starts work. I walk a mile to find a sandwich, a bad one at that.

Friday 5:30 pm --> Rotors changed, brakes flushed, wheels greased and torqued, all happy, pay bill, hit the road to VIR with smiles.

Friday 7:00 pm --> still haven't made to out of Metro DC area due to rush hour traffic. Finally hit US29, keep cursing at all the lights, they all turn red when they see me.

Friday 8:30 pm --> cruising nicely on US29, a Bimmer comes next to me, accelerating/decelerating trying entice me, I don't budge for 10 miles. Finally, he is stuck behind traffic, so I accelerate to open a gap... over the hill... COP! too late. Receive ticket for $51 and loose 20 mins, Bimmer passes by.

Friday 11:00 pm --> make it to Danville, find a McDonalds and get a sandwich, as bad as I remember, wash car in self-service, check into the hotel.

Saturday 00:00 --> make coffee, turn on computer and relax; have to wake up at 5 am. I am REALLY looking forward to a new day at the track tomorrow.

Good night

The weekend did not start well; an incident on each of the first 3 sessions, and nearly 2 hours delay

Sorry to hear that.
Same bad luck last weekend at Sebring, a few black flags on lap 2 with long clean up time and a few torrential rains other sessions. Only got 3 25 minute sessions all weekend.

Better luck tomorrow. Enjoy your after track beer. Those taste the best..

What a great weekend! Great to meet up with Fatih and Brian this weekend. Sorry about the BMW sending debris from the blown motor through your radiator Brian. At least we were able to slow you down by making you drive your wife's car!

That cloud of smoke from the blown motor in the BMW was so thick we almost had to come to a complete stop before moving through the cloud for fear of a car being stopped in the middle of the track!
