I have posted here a few times before but I have little time to be in front of a computer. But I thought that this event was worth commenting about.

First I must say that Trey and the helpers were outstanding in their efforts and I was pleased to be among a staff of excellent instructors.
I arrived at Expo knowing noboby at all except for a couple of exchanged emails from ITRCA but quickly talked it up with many of you from Honda-tech, and it was great.

The quality and caliber of students and cars was amazing. Here in Montreal very few ITR owners are serious and most are blinging only so I expected more of the same.....boy was I wrong!!!!

It was fun to see that some were also able to have a and still let loose and have fun......
Anyways, i don't remember many names but if you met me, say hi, and let me know who you are!

Hope to see you at a few events this year as I will travel a lot....road trips are great

BBQman........was cookin'

 

I enjoyed talking with you on grid Carl, you're definately a good guy . Thanks for the good effort out there instructing this weekend!

Brian

Funny I had you in mind when i wrote a couples of and still able to have a good time.......

usually I look like you at a race weekend, but i wanted to give a good impression this weekend!!!!

 

Carl, it was great to meet you. Now you can tell your buddies at your shop that not ALL itr owners are ricers. Drop me and Jeff (budman) an email when you come to Topeka to compete in the solo2 nationals.

I am glad I got to meet and hang out with ya over the weekend, Carl. I am looking forward to coming up to Montreal sometime real soon. Hope to see you around these parts more often causing trouble.

 

Good to hear from you guys....... be sure to drop me a line when you head up here to Montreal..........as for Topeka........I sure will get in touch with my Mid-west friends as I will need some support when I compete in no-man's -land........lol

Just to put things straight.............put names with the cars i remember....CW mugen Fluidyne rad=?.....Black ITR pitted Sunday next to me= ? and The guy who packed his **** up then unpacked to replace pads and rotors(ITT Aimco)=?

BudMan (CW R that you thought was more white than yours) = the dumb **** who packed everything up, then realized I needed to get the hawk blues off the damn car I'm in Kansas City (60 miles from Topeka/Nationals) & was on the the same row w/you on the parade laps (we both had to pee & Eric was making fun of us!)

Nice to meet you btw!!

 

OK this is good.....I know who Budman is and also Audipower ( although his nickname stinks).

Brandon, how can I forget you......you pitted next to me on Saturday and yes your shift rod did indeed fall off and I kept calling you darren or something.........heehe

BabyNSX - I still want a ride in that race kaaa

 

Ah yes, how can I forget the man for whom we have to blame for this mess........of course it was my pleasure to speak with you in person and to be part of a most serious ITR event..........Trey, you did it!!!


As for the empty seat on Philly's right, that would be where I will sit when I finally arrive..............maybe that is why I had not recieved a drawing ticket.........I was late.............having beer and wings with Audipwr1..............doesn't that nickname suck..............

 

Audis rule
The nickname came from when I joined this board 2 or 3 years ago I was driving an audi

I just have yet to beg for someone to change it for me. I dont have a creative user name
MattR maybe?

Yeah, if you dig overweight, unreliable luxury cars...
j/k
I know a few people who drive Audi's and they're definately really nice cars, just not my cup of tea...

 

Hey Carl it was really nice to meet you. Definitely will look you up when I come up to run Mont Trembant.

 

Ah how can I forget, the carb ITR, getting a quick rear brake job done in the Holiday Inn parking. I knew I was at the right meet.
For sure we will hook up in Montreal when you decide to come racing here. I'll take care of the girls, and party .....you supply the ride and crew.......heck , if you get here on your own, we may even find you a crew........
