I just wanted to thank everyone that helped organize the event. I had a blast and enjoyed meeting everyone. Alot of things could have happend differently but I like to focus on the fun memories.

Scaring Wes when we went for little test drive on sun.

Meeting the "Stunnaz" in there camp site, complete with TV and video games,

Being able to put names with faces and see people I have met before,

Passing the King Car on turn 3 (after it stalled with fuel delivery problems?)

"Owning" alot of people on the track with only 8 good fingers(wait till I get all 10 working)

Being "owned" by SackDZ, who has been asking me questions about my car for some time now, I must have told him too much.

Being black flagged twice for "drifting" around corners when I put the street tires back on.

"Owning" Mike (Effect) by asking his girlfriend if she wanted to ride in a real car and she said "really,? sure!!!!"

Pulling weeds from my brake ducts after "forgetting" to turn at corner 5 with Mikes girlfriend in the car. (I was distracted by the low cut shirt J/K)

Having my ears bleed when Asspenny decided to run his "dump-pipe" That was loud as he!!

Having Wai's dog bite my ankles when trying to pet him...............

And other things I can't think of right now. I had a blast, see everyone next year.

PS Finger update: Surgary yesterday went fine. 2 pins in the middle finger, repaired the upper and lower tendon, nerves only bruised. removed nail on pointer finger and repaired nail bed. 6 weeks in a cast then therapy.........Holy $h!t did it hurt when the local wore off. I wish that pain on no-one........Vicaden and a doubleshot of whiskey took care of that. Today feels alot better.

later

Hey Matt,

Glad to hear the fingers are on the mend. Good to see you again. I wish you speedy recovery.

Everything went fine with Phil letting Eric drive... he had a good time and everyone enjoyed seeing him drive like a mail man!

Clayton - who was owned several times all over the track incorrect suspenion settings and tires pressures

 

Takumi the official track dog.

Wes made me look like a riceboy stunna with all his M00gen gear sittin next to my piece.

Breaking my 2nd DC Sports Short Shifter

Replacing it ghetto-style with a stock lugnut for a **** + "racer tape"

My new Momo driving gloves (italian leather owns j00)

Getting blisters on both hands from the steering wheel (even with gloves on)

Tons of track time

Beer and fireworks

Fat dudes on Mopeds

Matt, glad to hear that the surgery went well. It sure was a really fun event.
Hey don't forget that you had to let me pass on the main straight after missing turn 11. Well that was mostly because your tires were going flat hehe.

He bites guy's ankles, but licks girl's toes. I have no idea where he learned that from.

Getting Black flagged for blue smoke on the last day

 

what happened to the drinking contest?

 

It was great to meet everyone... I think I had just as much fun meeting all of the other R drivers as I did driving with so many R's on the track.

Some of my Expo memories:
- Knowing that SGT finished his Parking lot clutch install at 1:21am sunday night, even though I had gone to bed two hours earlier...
- Riding with Dropspeed, and being convinced that we would go off the track at almost every turn
(I don't think any of us are surprised he corded those hoosiers
- Answering the question "What's with all the yellow cars?"
- Meeting so many R owners from different parts of the country!
- Being able to keep up with one of the vipers for a while, and having the other viper pass me every 10 laps or so...

It was great to meet everyone!

Glad everything went well!! Thanks for the ride you gave me with the street tires. I think they black flaged us twice because they wanted to see who was owning those corners! They were in owe as I was!! Great driving!!

 

Hey... I was riding in an S2000 all day long, I had to impress the guys
