I am worn the f*ck out, but it was a ton of fun. Ryan and Peter, you both showed tons of improvement and were really driving very well by the end of the weekend. Great job, both of you! Although Ryan, I realized I never got to take you out for a ride Next time.

Wes, Jay, etc., I know you guys worked yourselves to the bone this year. I gotta say, this was my favorite Expo to date and I didn't even win anything! Thank you all for getting this thing up and running like that.

Micha, nice hanging out with you, and I'm glad I was able to pop your track cherry

Nice meeting some new faces (Erik, Sean, Andrew, dude in the BMW who's name I can't remember today) and all the old ones as well (too many to list!). Can't wait for next year!

Yup, AAA+ ftw. Guy even pushed it into the garage with me real quick.
Pretty sure I know the problem and might have the part today to get it running again. Just a random old sensor failure it looks like.

I think John might have been his name. He was co-driving it with someone, the white 328 I think? He was a novice.

Big props to Dave, Adam, and especially Ramzi Vincent of automotivespecialtytool.net, one of the Expo sponsors (who is setting up a website so that shadetree mechanics can borrow and lend specialty tools from each other). My axle broke (sheared off just below the axle nut); Dave picked one up on the way to the track, and the three of them replaced it on the car. Big, big props for helping me out.

Wow, that looks like we did the group photos at dusk. Actually it was bright sunlight at mid-day, and hotter than heck outside.

Thanks for the pic of my car, I was hoping to at least get one! (Gsr with the missing fender and two different rims).

I had a blast and it was well worth the car damage (fender, hood, and rim) i incurred on the way there. Mica, Dave, Jeniffer, Sander, Adam, Dave, thanks for all the fun! it was great meeting you. Big thanks to Wai for teaching me, i hope i did not scare the *&*& out of you! I did my best to give it HELL!!!

I just walked thru my front door. I am beat but had a great time and I can already feel my energy comin back looking at these pics.

A BIG thank you to the Expo commitee and sponsors. This year will surely go down as one of the best. The track was awesome. I definately want to go run ACC full again sometime in the future.

Congrats to my students: Sheekdude, Jigrard and Doespike. You guys made my job easy and I had a great time with all of you. I hope you all got something back from it too.

It was a typical Expo. People helping people get fixed, get faster, get drunk, blow stuff up. A great time. Tommorrow I will make sure I have next year off too. Doesn't matter where it's at. Already dreamin of Expo 11.....

Had a great time! Thanks guys for all the effort that was put forth in putting this together. This was my first EXPO and really opened my eyes to really understand what the ITR community is all about.

fun weekend. id like to thank everyone who put this together. wes was the only one i got to thank in person. also like to thank autobahn for the opportunity to run full course and having members with serious rides. lol.

i couldnt have asked for a better instructor. no offensive to anyone else but having will as an instructor was awesome. i couldnt tell you how many times he asked if i had any questions. even after signing me off he came over every session to see how it went and...if i had any questions. and man he can pedal that slow little civic on ebay coils. lol.

also big thanks to adam penn and sander marques. between those two and will i asked enough questions to make a sat test. sander it was nice to meet you and it was awesome to listen to those downshift blips going into 2 from my tent. lol.

it was awesome meeting a few people from here too for the first time. sander.s student smokinsax. nice meeting you and chatting often. getright nice sideskirts. and mike alsip.s buddy rzoops on here i think. hope you enjoy the s300. everyone else i talked to. thanks for making the weekend even more awesome than it already was.

Did you miss all the other non-ITR cars that were posted? This event is to celebrate the ITR, but doesn't mean other cars aren't welcome to join them as well.

Nice meeting you Andrew.
You were one of the best novice students I've ever had. You drove great. I hope you liked the wagon ride.
